Assembly Bill 802 directed the California Energy Commission (CEC) to create a statewide energy benchmarking and public disclosure program for buildings larger than 50,000 square feet. The CEC’s regulations require healthcare facilities to report building characteristics and energy data to the CEC by June 1, 2018. Reporting is done annually using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.
As an industry leader in utility benchmarking efforts and certified ENERGY STAR Partner, Ecom-Energy’s EnerVisor Software is designed to accomplish the very goals set forth by the Administration in Executive Order 13834.
On May 25, the bill passed out of appropriations, but thanks to your engagement, the bill will be amended to include ratepayer safeguards, cost effectiveness evaluations, and legislative oversight.
Direct Access (DA) is an electric service that allows customers to purchase their electricity directly from third party providers instead of from a regulated electric utility.
Assembly Bills 3001 and 3232 are moving through the California Legislature. They would mandate the electrification of buildings across the state.
To combat the changing energy landscape healthcare facilities need to develop a plan that typically entails a healthy and proper mix of fossil fuels, alternative energy, high performance buildings, and renewable energy.
Before deregulation in the 1980s, the only option consumers had for their supply was their local utility; there was no choice. The government-regulated pricing and single-distribution source fostered a monopolistic marketplace. Once deregulation was approved, customers started benefiting from an open, free marketplace offering a choice in supplier and, ultimately, more competitive rates.
