Although many utility implementation contractors are now developing and piloting virtual program delivery, Power TakeOff has been providing virtual and remote engagement since the company's start in 2007 and is a foundational design of the company's Virtual Commissioning™ (VCx™) Program. The benefits of this delivery model were innovative prior to COVID-19, but essential during the COVID-19 crisis. As the pandemic brought about changes to the way most businesses operate, the VCx™ Program was able to maintain...

As the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world, businesses shut their doors as governments reacted with mandates to close non-essential businesses in an effort to control the disease. As a society, we looked for ways to support local businesses that are pillars in our communities, while businesses tried anything to stay afloat. Utilities reacted by taking steps to commit to the safety of the communities that they serve, double down on their communications to provide operations...

M&V, Real-Time Monitoring

With all energy efficiency program designs, the company makes changes to consumption and then calculates savings. Deemed savings estimates allow for engineers to make comparisons between equipment that was previously installed and estimate lifetime savings for new equipment. Whole building modeling gives programs the opportunity to do non-intrusive monitoring to look at the facility from a holistic view. One of the major benefits of using whole building approaches with utility data is the ability to monitor...

Building Benchmarking, Data Analytics

Despite the massive opportunity for energy reduction, operational savings in commercial buildings have long been low on utility priority list because of the challenges of big data: acquisition, analysis, and action. There are energy savings that are easy to prove, and energy savings that are harder to prove. Proving energy savings from capital measures, like changing out lightbulbs, is relatively simple. Incandescent light bulbs use a certain amount of power to operate, and LEDs use less...

Data Analytics, VCx

Power TakeOff's VCxTM Program with ComEd has found a rhythm that works for utility SMB and public institutions which we engage. These markets are historically under-served by utility DSM programs due to their limited time and capital budgets. However, by pinpointing and only engaging the locations in a utility portfolio that would benefit most from easy to implement low and no-cost opportunities, we are having relevant conversations with organizations that have a clear opportunity, and not...

Real-Time Monitoring

For many commercial customers, a slight shift in operational activity can result in a substantial reduction in energy costs each month. Electric demand is the rate at which a facility is using electricity at any given point in time, and utility companies will often charge customers based on the highest demand during any 15-minute period in a billing month. Any unpredictable spike in electricity usage can drastically impact your peak demand charge, and it is important...
