Implementing intelligent energy management systems

Electric demand in the U.S. is projected to increase approximately 30-percent over the next 25 years. Energy efficiency not only reduces costs and carbon footprints, but also ensures a more reliable electric grid. Demand response (DR) programs incentivize customers to curtail electricity usage during times of peak demand. These programs enable utilities to reduce short-term strain on the grid and cost-effectively defer or reduce the long-term need for new power plants, transmission lines, and distribution substations.

Demand response system integration

Automated DR combines building automation systems with utility-sponsored programs that pay customers to reduce electric consumption at critical times. OpTerra combines expertise with integrated building automation and energy-efficiency solutions to enhance building operation, while lowering a facility’s signature on the electric grid. Through partnerships with leading energy companies, we deploy technologies that integrate buildings into a utility’s DR network and program. Learn how we have helped companies get paid for reducing their electric use.

Metering and analytics

With more than two decades of experience and proven tools, we have solutions to help facility and water utility managers analyze and optimize electric, gas, and water consumption. We implement state-of-the-art meters and analytical software, so that our customers can monitor their facilities’ or systems’ consumption, measure and verify savings, participate in DR programs, and reduce operating expenses associated with meter reading.
