Energy and Smart Building Industry Blog

Energy conservation is a global concern, and governments worldwide are developing policies to place mandates on consumption. These regulations will require programs and protocols that track and isolate ways to reduce usage. California has developed a new metric based on normalized metered energy consumption, or NMEC. These regulations provide energy savings data that help improve building performance.

Managing occupant comfort levels has always been a tricky science. The pandemic has made this even more challenging, with the addition of required safety masks. Many people feel constricted when wearing a face covering, which complicates airflow and comfortable room temperature perceptions. With this psychological aspect intermingled with the need to adjust settings to increase fresh air circulation, building operators face finding a magic formula that keeps customers happy and safe. 

PhoenixET is grateful to CPower for collaborating on an energy project to enhance control and deliver savings for customers during demand response (DR) events. CPower has released a case study highlighting the collaboration, which we outline below.  

CASE STUDY: How PhoenixET enabled a major pet specialty retailer to devise and quickly deploy a new comfort energy strategy across over 1,600 stores.

The EEI National Key Accounts Workshop has gone virtual this year and runs from Tuesday, October 6th to Wednesday, October 28th. Just like every other tradeshow, the normally in-person event has changed its format from several days in a great location to a series of interactive sessions and webinars throughout the month. If you are interested, register for free. As always, the event covers the most current energy industry topics to educate and connect corporate customers and energy industry experts and vendors.

While we will certainly miss the epic PhoenixET After Party this year, we look forward to the next time we can all wear silly costumes. In the meantime, do register for this event to learn the latest and greatest in C&I energy management.
