At Omaha-based Bes-Tech, Inc.,the people and products are all aboutsaving energy. Short for Building andEnergy Solutions and Technology,Bes-Tech’s products and processeshave been successful in reducingenergy consumption and demand incommercial and industrial facilitiesand data centers across the U.S. andoverseas.
The company was founded in 2004by President and CTO MingshengLiu, Ph.D., P.E., who developed hisexpertise in energy-efficient buildingsystem technologies as a researcheron the staffs of Texas A&M Universityin College Station, Texas, and at theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln.
