WHAT IS TOTAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT?
6. The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent
School District in Texas approached Direct
Energy Business with a desire to understand
how their energy was being used and where
they could save.
We introduced them to Panoramic Power®, an
energy monitoring solution that uses tiny
wireless sensors to track electricity used by
each device and upload the data real time to a
user friendly dashboard.
In only two months the school district
discovered improperly operating rooftop air
conditioners, inappropriately scheduled lighting
and overuse of other equipment. In total, they
identified nearly $23,000 of potential annual
energy savings across just three buildings.
