Grid2 Expands Into Commercial Real Estate & Facilities Market with Its Flagship Energy Management System

Tuesday, April 15th, 2014

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) April 08, 2014

Grid2 (http://energymanagementsoftware.com/) announces an expanded focus into commercial real estate energy management providers. The expanded focus is meant to be partly educational and partly promotional toward a group of people in desperate need of expanded energy management applications.

Recent data suggests that most real estate facilities management personnel often fail to fully utilize efficiency solutions in their energy management initiates across large organizations. As a result, many companies end up missing out on millions in lost costs on an annual basis. Because energy consumption represents the single greatest utility cost among organizations, it also means it is an area where extreme waste can easily be tracked and subsequently eliminated, says Stein Chu, Chief Sales Engineer. In nearly every organization weve consulted, there has been room for improvement in tracking usage and increasing efficiency.

With one of the most robust systems on the market, Grid2 allows energy managers and enterprise-level organizations to gain better access to energy data, better interpretation of energy data and ultimately better energy decision making. It represents an all-in-one energy tracking system for viewing, maintaining and improving–a process that is a large net gain for nearly every commercial organization with whom we work, says Chu.

The companys new focus on commercial real estate comes as the result of direct contact with many commercial real estate management and owners whore looking to increase efficiencies and eliminate waste within their organizations. Currently over 50% of all energy consumption comes from commercial and industrial organizations. Consequently, commercial real estate and facilities managers can see an almost immediate benefit by tracking and using the Grid2 solutions.

We also feel there is an education gap for some facilities managers, says Chu. They dont recognize the need for some of the advanced tools we can help provide nor do many facilities managers know of their existence. Were hoping our educational initiatives for energy managers will help to change that and push the needle forward in commercial energy management systems, he says.

Kolben, senior vice president of Ullicos Real Estate Investment Group. J for Jobs 34 and 1 positive return record over the past 35 years is a record were proud of.

This win-win strategy of using labors money to finance construction projects that grow investment and pension funds and put union members and contractors back to work is why the union market place has no better partner than Ullico, Smith added.
