SECO adds GridPoint’s Solution to Services Offering

Smart Energy Co-Op (SECO) customers that implement GridPoint’s solution will gain automated management of their energy consumption through on-site hardware, cloud-based tools, and analytics

GridPoint has announced a partnership with the Smart Energy Co-Op (SECO), a voluntary and member-directed organization that uses its membership volume to help business owners secure the benefits of new energy technologies at the lowest possible cost and risk. SECO acts as an energy advisor to their customers and helps them build programs to achieve 30% savings per year within 90 days. Smart Energy Co-Op (SECO) customers that implement GridPoint’s solution will gain automated management of their energy consumption through on-site hardware, cloud-based tools, and analytics. The EMS technology provides critical insights into equipment health and performance enabling customers to automate control of their HVAC and lighting schedules and troubleshoot equipment issues remotely. The data is collected in real-time, and can be visualized and over a period of time, so customers can learn more about their energy patterns and adapt operations to maximize savings.

GridPoint, a smart buildings technology leader, provides visibility into facility operations in order to automate and control sites, lower energy spend, and proactively manage day-to-day operations. Under the terms of their partnership, GridPoint and SECO will deploy, manage, and service GridPoint’s EMS solution which accommodates a majority of commercial buildings, requires no capital outlay from SECO Members, and delivers positive cash-flow from day one.

“GridPoint’s smart buildings technology aligns perfectly into our energy services offering due to its simplicity, zero up-front costs, and ability to deliver hard savings immediately,” says Brent Hollenbeck, SECO CEO. “We are excited to include GridPoint’s EMS as a part of SECO’s holistic approach to smart energy solutions.”

“We increasingly see commercial customers looking for a simple, one-stop shop for energy efficiency and renewable energy options. The Smart Energy Co-Op provides this in an innovative way by packaging new energy technologies, such as LED lights, solar and energy management systems to create a comprehensive energy solution. We are excited to begin delivering our solution to SECO customers within the State of Maryland, and nationwide as they continue to grow,” said Jason Narod, VP of Strategic Partnerships at GridPoint.
