Energy Tracking has integrated Demand Response (DR) and energy management technology within its web enabled meter. This advanced meter can track the facility's demand (kW) and automatically initiate demand reduction by directly controlling an IP enabled thermostat. This smart meter can also periodically access a local or an Internet domain web site that can provide a signal to initiate demand management. These options provide for a simple and cost effective solution for load shifting and control.

Majority of companies see their peak demand highest during the summer months due to the added air conditioning load. This affects the whole sale supply and generation side as demand for energy approaches energy availability. This increases volatility and energy costs that are passed down to end users. Building more generation plants adds to pollution and increases dependency on our limited natural resources. Many Utilities offer Demand Response Programs that offer incentives for reducing loads for short periods during times of peak demand.

Energy Tracking is pleased to provide a simple and elegant method which helps entities reduce their peak demand during the summer season. We have evolved this technology to help provide the same solution to those entities who face the opposite dilema when demand is highest during the winter due to electric heating for heat pump applications.

The key advantage of our demand response technology is that it enables end users to manage their peak demand throughout the summer or winter season, irrespective of whether they are participating in a demand response program.

This greatly increases the value of our advanced metering system as it can be also used to establish a baseline, enable and enhance energy management by using the meter's interval data reporting capability. In addition, the savings generated using this technology pays for the initial investment.

In light of high energy costs, end users are searching for solutions to accurately track and reduce their energy costs. This advanced meter allows them to do just that.

End users now have a simple and efficient method to proactively manage peak load and reduce demand rather than install a more expensive energy management system. Furthermore, end user's do not have to surrender control to another entity. Large corporations can track a demand reduction signal and use their own domain to initiate demand management. Alternatively, they can reduce energy usage during periods of high energy costs.

We also offer a software solution that does not depend on or require our metering technology.
