Integrated Lighting and HVAC Controls for SMB Customers

The primary objective of this project was to demonstrate energy savings in the small and medium sized business sector by means of low-cost technology retrofits that leverage advances in intelligent advices and lower-cost networked controls. 
The primary project learnings showed:

1. Recruiting SMB customers for pilots is very difficult, in this case with an 8% success rate.
2. SMB owners have little to no visibility into energy. Energy visualization and dashboarding provides them a significant benefit, with controls providing incremental benefits.
3. Building and HVAC controls are difficult to run as a standalone program, but could be incorporated in conjunction with a lighting replacement program.
