Kilawatt Technologies and Vermont Electric Coop to start an energy and environmental management project

Kilawatt Technologies has great pleasure to announce the start of an Energy and Environmental Management project with Vermont Electric Coop.
This project will include the collection of total energy consumption data across the entire building on a one to three minute interval. A statistically based model will be developed to understand the energy momentum of the building. From this we will develop building specific control algorithms so only the energy needed to provide a comfortable environment is delivered to the building, where it is needed, at the lowest possible cost.
A few advantages of Kilawatt’s program that will be realized by Vermont Electric Coop include:
1) elimination of occupant comfort issues within the building,
2) reduction of total energy consumption which is projected to be 15% or greater, and
3) avoidance of non-scheduled HVAC and mechanical equipment expenses.
For typical commercial buildings, the Return on Investment realized for a project of this nature is between 12 and 21 months. We look forward to working on this exciting project with them.
Vermont Electric Cooperative, Inc. (VEC) is a member-owned, not-for-profit electric distribution cooperative which was founded in 1938. VEC’s headquarters is in Johnson, Vermont, with service centers in Grand Isle, Newport and Richford. They are Vermont’s third largest electric utility serving approximately 34,000 members in 74 towns in Northern Vermont.
Kilawatt Technologies, founded in 2008, provides a data-centric, statistically-based, energy and environmental management program. The methods involve continuous trending and analysis of energy and interior environmental data for commercial, multi-family and industrial buildings.
