The state of Massachusetts has tapped energy management applications company EnerNOC to upgrade energy efficiency in 470 state buildings to save between 5% and 15% in energy expenses when the project is finished. The $10 million, three-year Recovery Act stimulus-backed project will incorporate state-of-the-art Smart Grid technologies to track energy use in real-time. In the short-term, the data will give facility and agency managers the ability to quickly respond to aberrations in energy use patterns, and in the long-term point out areas where efficiency overhauls are needed.
Quick Take: This is a large-scale energy efficiency project that's worth tracking and learning from. It's also a good indicator of how the Smart Grid can reduce our environmental impact. And, it will generate jobs.
