EnglishWhat Is Providence-Oris and What Does the Company Do?
Updated
Providence-Oris is an air quality modeling consultancy that also sells dispersion modeling software and provides training. It serves environmental professionals who need to run regulatory air dispersion models, prepare air permitting analyses, or work with meteorological and surface data. The company combines three lines of business — software products, consulting services, and training — so a single firm can supply both the tools and the expertise for a modeling study.
Core business areas
The site organizes its offerings into three main categories:
- Environmental software — downloadable modeling and data-handling tools, some sold as one-time purchases and some with tiered pricing.
- Consulting — one-on-one work with the company's modeling experts, including custom software solutions and meteorological data services.
- Training — instructor-led courses, on-site training, and webinars covering AERMOD and related topics.
Software products
The featured products listed on the site include:
| Product | Listed price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Files Converter | $40.00 | One-time purchase; one individual user per purchase |
| IGRA Files Extractor | $40.00 | One-time purchase; one individual user per purchase |
| AERMOD Wizard | $345.00–$690.00 | Multiple variants; price depends on the option chosen |
The broader product menu also lists the BEEST Suite, AerScreen for Windows, Screen3 for Windows, and 1-Hour Modeling. The site states that all Providence/Oris software may be downloaded, and it offers free software trials and software webinars as entry points.
Consulting services
The consulting side covers dispersion modeling studies and related air quality analysis. Specific service listings include:
- BeestXpress
- Custom Software Solutions
- Consulting
- Meteorological Data
- IGRA Files Extractor and Surface Files Converter (also offered as products)
The company also maintains a State Guidelines resource described as a one-stop spot for modeling guidelines covering the entire United States — useful if your project falls under a specific state's permitting rules.
Training
Training is a major part of the offering. The site lists:
- AERMOD Modeling
- Advanced AERMOD
- Air Permitting
- Instructors
- Request On-Site Training
- Webinars, including upcoming sessions
A current promotion offers a group discount: save $100 per person when registering more than one person for AERMOD training courses using discount code "100TRAINING".
Who it's for
Providence-Oris targets professionals who need to perform or review regulatory dispersion modeling — environmental consultants, permitting specialists, and air quality analysts. If you need to run AERMOD, screen sources with AERSCREEN or Screen3, convert meteorological or surface data files, or find state-specific modeling guidance, the company's tools and training are aimed at that workflow.
