In partnership with Focus on Energy, WPPI Energy members are providing an innovative way to help business customers reduce their energy use without the need for an on-site visit through the Virtual Commissioning (VCx) pilot.
The pilot primarily targets school and government facilities in local communities and uses advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) data to analyze and uncover potential energy saving options. Local utility representatives and a Focus on Energy expert meet with customers virtually to review data and identify savings opportunities, with a goal to implement changes quickly and easily.
Examples of changes to increase energy savings include things such as scheduling updates, temperature setpoint modifications, and equipment sequencing. Over the course of 2022, 26 customers saved approximately 1,800 MWh across the WPPI membership, which collectively includes 51 communities.
Energy savings is just one of the many benefits of the VCx efforts. The pilot offers a way for the local utility to build and expand relationships with small and midsize business customers – specifically schools – to continue to provide customer support to significant energy users in the community.
