What is ESC?
Founded in 1972 by Don McCurdy, ESC initially carved out a niche providing specialized HVAC equipment for the New England educational sector. The company achieved a significant technological milestone in 1976 by pioneering the integration of Direct Digital Control systems for commercial facilities.
