Analytics-Enabled Retro-Commissioning Program

September 28, 2015 By NEEC

BACKGROUND

PG&E has been delivering cost-effective Retro-commissioning (RCx) programs to larger commercial customers to help improve and optimize energy use.

OPPORTUNITY

PG&E historically struggled to engage schools and municipal buildings into its Retro-commissioning program. They recognized analytics could provide a cost-effective solution to expand their Retro-commissioning service offering into the broader commercial customer portfolio.

SOLUTION

FirstFuel’s Remote Building Analytics provide a breakthrough solution to make retro-commissioning cost-effective and scalable to a much broader range ofcustomers. Leveraging utility meter data, FirstFuel analytics work across the entire efficiency lifecycle to rapidly and cost-effectively expand RCx program reach. FirstFuel seamlessly integrates with Nexant’s services, which helps customers implement low/no-cost operational measures.

FirstFuel helps PG&E:

– Access hard-to-reach customer segments

 – Identify new sources of operational savings

– Channel retrofit leads to prescriptive/custom programs

– Build stronger engagement levels with customers
