Phoenix Energy Technologies Awarded 2017 Smart Grid Product of the Year Award

IRVINE, Calif. — Phoenix Energy Technologies proudly announced today that EnterpriseDX has received a 2017 Smart Grid Product of the Year Award from SmartGrid.TMCnet.com, a TMC and Crossfire Media sponsored technology media website.

EnterpriseDX (EDX) is a software-based energy management platform servicing the multi-site retail, theatre and grocery industries. EDX aggregates tens of thousands of building data points across disparate control systems into a centralized platform, providing a clear picture of energy consumption and cost.  Phoenix Energy Technologies uses this platform to optimize the performance of lighting, refrigeration and HVAC equipment to drive enterprise-wide savings while maintaining customer comfort. Using the data collected by our clients’ Building Automation Systems (BAS), Phoenix’s team of energy analysts is able to dive deeper into building performance to identify unique energy savings opportunities to reduce additional kW usage and energy cost. EnterpriseDX also allows customers to execute demand response and load shedding events to drive even more savings across their building portfolio. This cloud-based solution requires no additional hardware installation or capital expenditure allowing Phoenix to deliver a quicker ROI for each client.

“We’re very appreciative that our EnterpriseDX IoT platform has been recognized as an innovative part of the SmartGrid revolution,” said Keith Gipson, Chief Technology Officer, Phoenix Energy Technologies. “We’ve been doing IoT for some time now and this is a tremendous honor for us.”

“It is an honor to be recognized as a thought leader in IoT and stand along side so many great companies who have received this award in the past!” said Lisa Varga, CEO, Phoenix Energy Technologies. “We have worked hard to change the way large multi-site clients integrate their building portfolio and manage their energy and facilities strategy.  The proof of success has been the large number of clients who have chosen to adopt our product!”

“The solutions that have been selected for the 2017 Smart Grid Product of the Year Award reflect the diverse range of innovation driving this market. Congratulations to Phoenix Energy Technologies which exemplified the best of smart grid technologies in the past year," said Carl Ford, CEO & Community Developer, Crossfire Media.

“It is my pleasure to recognize EnterpriseDX with a Smart Grid Product of the Year Award for its contribution to the advancement of smart grid technologies,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.  “I look forward to seeing more innovation from Phoenix Energy Technologies in the coming year.”
