E3 INNOVATE, LLC

Erik Daugherty, owner and founder of E3 INNOVATE, LLC and E3 EcoWorks, LLC, is a Nashville native with a passion for sustainability. Growing up with a love of science, the outdoors, and building things, Erik’s interest in energy efficiency was a natural combination of all of these.

Erik was the first active local LEED for HOMES Green Rater in Middle-TN and served as the vice chair of the US Green Building Council (USGBC) Middle-TN Chapter.
