Energy Audits
A professional energy audit is the first step in defining and describing the most cost effective energy efficiency improvements you can take. Comprehensive energy audits consistently reveal that significant cost reductions are achievable in areas of lighting, HVAC, refrigeration and automation.
Smart Appliances
Major home-appliance manufacturers are sufficiently convinced of the commercial viability of the Smart Grid. Whirlpool, the world’s largest manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances, has announced that it plans to make all of its electronically controlled appliances Smart Grid compatible by 2015.
LEED Certification
“Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design” (LEED) Green Building Rating System LEED is a voluntary national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings that rely on on-site renewable energy resources.
Smart Homes
The vision of a smart home is that it would utilize a wireless network to connect appliances, lighting, HVAC, entertainment systems to a central computer. This would allow the whole house to be monitored and controlled through a PC or cell phone, combining home automation with energy management.

Energy Efficiency is one of four components within the realm of Energy Innovation; Energy Conservation, Demand Response and Distributed Resources being the others.  EPRI studies indicate that the most cost effective measures presently available to better meet our energy demands is through energy efficiency.
