Data and Devices Bringing Transparency to Energy Use
Hugh Scandrett, VP of engineering for EnerNOC, is bringing transparency to an energy system that works against clarity. The goal: help companies realize more cost savings and cut back on energy usage. In a Q&A, Scandrett says that one big issue for companies is predicting future demand. "We predict a company's usage based on analytics that look at weather, degree of sun azimuth, and a whole set of other parameters," he says. "We then can provide techniques for minimizing peak usage, like pre-cooling a building."
