Chicago Energy Technology

Chicago Energy Technology provides consulting on strategies to improve energy efficiency. Founded in 2008, we provide strategic consulting on energy technologies for software developers, property managers, building owners and tenants. Our focus is energy efficiency in small to medium size commercial & insititutional buildings, as well as in multi-dwelling residential facilities in urban areas. Our approach includes creative application of: * data - think: algorithms, predictive analytics & Big Data * software - think: Software as a Service (SaaS) * hardware - think: Internet of Things (IoT) * network communications - think: mobile (cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc) * people - think: a network of experts who can manage change and spur adoption Our recipe is common sense: we combine the new with the old - low-cost modern tech blended with the tried and true, resulting in affordable yet highly creative solutions tailored to the needs of your buildings. As the cost of high tech has come down in the past decade (think: smart phones) today an energy efficiency technology investment strategy can provide solid returns, typically achieving an ROI far superior to capital-intensive clean energy investments like renewable generation, storage systems or smart utility meters. Using modern technologies in C&I buildings can achieve savings of up to $0.50 per square foot, often 10% to 20% of your energy costs. With the right strategy, your investment typically will pay for itself in no more than a year or two! Building owners too often failt to realize full potential savings, instead turning to a local utility or energy services company (ESCO) for zero-up-front financing, performance contracts or shared savings. With smart tech guidance, you can get efficient, stay efficient, maximize benefits and keep the savings for yourself. Take control and prevent utilities or ESCOs from hijacking your energy savings!
