Austin, Texas, May 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CLEAResult, a leader in technology-enabled energy efficiency and demand side management programs for utilities and businesses, announced it will support Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) Strategic Energy Management (SEM) program for customers in Northern and Central California that are food processing facilities. CLEAResult has been leading SEM program development and deployment across the continent for over a decade.
SEM is a long-term, holistic approach to energy management that increases energy and cost savings for customers year-over-year through goal setting, progress tracking and reporting of results. This innovative program design includes a whole-facility approach that uses Normalized Metered Energy Consumption (NMEC) and a baseline model to help identify and measure energy savings opportunities from all program activities at participating facilities.
The customer program begins with a structured two-year program that creates a foundation of energy efficiency for eligible food processing, winery and dairy facilities. SEM encourages a culture of energy efficiency among facility staff and operational enhancements focused on continuous energy improvement. Once enrolled, participants are given the necessary tools and training to independently identify energy-saving opportunities that improve productivity and overall facility operations.
“SEM is the most effective approach to building lasting customer engagement and to improve whole facility energy performance,” said Aziz Virani, Chief Executive Officer of CLEAResult. “We are excited to help launch one of the first programs of its kind in the state of California, and look forward to results that call attention to the efficacy of SEM for achieving persistent energy savings.”
