The Six Step Commercial and Industrial Energy EcoSystem.
An Energy Ecosystem comprises the tools and processes your company needs to take control of your energy future. And, the Energy Ecosystem is necessary for controlling costs during the energy transition.
The Six Steps of the Energy Ecosystem are
- 1. Create Transparency
- 2. Reduce Wasteful Consumption
- 3. Gain Control and Automation
- 4. Integrate Distributed Energy Resources
- 5. Employ Targeted Energy Assets
- 6. Capture Value via Optimization
Six Steps of the Energy Ecosystem:
1. Transparency - Energy Management Software
eReveal Software for Reporting and Analysis
Utilizing energy management software as the foundation to your Energy EcoSystem, real-time energy usage data is captured and used to identify the scope and profile of consumption patterns.
EMS systems will help with negotiating energy contract prices and structures, accurately managing budgets, tracking environmental gains and generating the needed reports to determine the best deployment of resources for other energy management measures.
2. Reduce Wasteful Consumption - Lighting and Fixture Upgrades
Efficient LED Lighting
Target easy-to-correct inefficiencies, like traditional lighting, to gain immediate cost benefits.
Economic reasons to upgrade to LED Lighting
The cost of doing nothing is tantamount to paying twice as much as necessary for an inferior product. Lighting is mathematically verifiable to reduce energy spend and reduce carbon footprint. Rebates are available for new construction and upgrades.
LED Lighting upgrades offer:
- 5x to 7x 10/yr ROI
- 60% to 85% Energy/Maintenance Savings
- Higher Lumen (Light) Output
- Increased Security & Safety
- Utility Rebates Available
3. Gain Control and Automation - Building Automation Systems
Building Automation Control Systems and Hardware
Manage HVAC and machinery utilization to reduce costs, truck rolls and unnecessary maintenance cost.
Building Automation provides you with the following benefits:
- Phone Alerts
- Maintenance Savings Enterprise-Wide
- Transparency
- Control of Lights and HVAC
- Water Monitoring
- Humidity Levels
- Co2 Levels
- Security Integration
- Usage Reports
- Peak Demand Management
- 24/7/365 Support & Professional Monitoring
4. Distributed Energy Resources
Generate Your Own Power
Increase resilience, lower cost, manage loads, reduce Demand Charges and create revenue with an On-Site Microgrid.
Onsite microgrids help to generate power and increase resiliency. Microgrids are not simply backup power, they also are essential to additional power generation that can lower your costs and, in some cases, generate revenue.
Microgrids:
A MicroGrid is simply integrating one or more generation sources (Solar + Natural Gas Generator) with Batteries, A Controller (Brains) and DC to AC Invertors.
5. Targeted Energy Assets
Improve customer, tenant and workforce experiences while positioning your Energy Ecosystem to generate additional revenue with EV Charging and Solar Carports
Commercial Charging Solutions
Improving the customer experience by providing desired EV chargers has been proven to increase sales. The average EV owner continues to be aged 40-55 years old, with an annual household income of more than $100,000.
6. Optimize
Capture Value Via Optimization
With your Energy Ecosystem built, you will avail your business to the opportunities presented by the energy transition while reducing energy consumption – Welcome To The Energy Future
Benefits of Optimization:
- Build Resiliency
- Create Sustainability
- Generate Savings
- Harness Revenue Streams
