NCK TECH – Energy Pioneer Courtship

The courtship between the North Central Kansas Technical College and Energy Pioneer Solutions based in Hastings, Nebraska, went public today.

Energy Pioneer staff was on the Beloit Campus this afternoon to take a look at the house built during the previous school year and give their energy assessment concerning its construction.

The company upgrades residential homes and commercial properties to make them more energy efficient.

Energy Pioneer is a residential and commercial energy efficiency business which is looking to expand into Kansas. The starting points – Hays and Beloit.

NCK TECH has recently formed a partnership with Energy Pioneer. Sara Tall – Energy Pioneer Marketing Coordinator says saying “I do” brings big benefits to both organizations.

During today’s tour of the NCK TECH House, Energy Pioneer staff walked students through their energy assessment process.

Sometime after the house has made the trip south to its new owner in Lincoln County, Energy Pioneer will do a complete on-sight assessment of the structure.

NCK Tech President Eric Burks said the information taken from the assessment will be valuable during the construction of the house in the current school year.

Energy Pioneer is expected to begin offering services in the Hays area within the next 30-days and plans to hire 15-new employees in the next year.

About Mike Schrant

Mike is one of those guys who has spent nearly a lifetime trying to figure out what he wants to do when he grows up. He has split time as a broadcaster and educator having first worked in radio in the early 1970’s while attending junior college. The two careers are directly connected because many of the 25 years as an educator were spent teaching broadcast journalism at the high school and college levels. Mike is married and has three adult children (no grandchildren yet) and enjoys sports, debating politics, gardening, landscaping-hauling rocks, and swapping stories with the "good old boys".
