ComEd program puts power in customers’ hands to
share their energy usage data
ComEd is joining forces with Schneider Electric, a global
specialist in energy management, to deploy Green Button Connect My
Data in northern Illinois. ComEd is among the first utilities to
roll-out Green Button Connect My Data, which allows customers to
authorize third-party service providers to receive direct access to
their energy usage analytics via the Green Button
functionality.
To help customers maximize energy savings via the Green Button
Connect My Data functionality, ComEd offers Energy Insights Online,
a free web-based energy analysis service that interfaces with Green
Button. Energy Insights Online provides ComEd’s commercial
customers a more detailed analysis of their building’s energy usage
and enables third-party vendors like Schneider Electric to provide
automated monitoring based commissioning (aMBCx) technology with
embedded fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) analytics that
accurately prioritize energy savings opportunities.
“Green Button Connect My Data, along with ComEd’s Energy
Insights Online solution, provides our customers increased
visibility into their energy usage, which is one of the easiest and
most efficient ways we can help them produce energy savings on a
large scale,” said Val Jensen, senior vice president of Customer
Operations, ComEd. “As we deploy smart meters across northern
Illinois, we hope to unlock even more value through data analytics
that will give our business and residential customers the power to
manage their energy use.”
Elmhurst Hospital is among the first of ComEd’s commercial
customers to take advantage of ComEd’s Energy Insights Online and
Green Button Connect My Data. Using the Schneider Electric utility
interface, data is pulled from different sources including three
onsite ComEd smart meters with information Schneider Electric
compiles every five minutes via 13,000 sensor points within the
HVAC control system. Working with ComEd and Schneider Electric,
Elmhurst Hospital was able to leverage these tools, and their smart
meters, with zero additional investments in hardware or software,
to reduce the energy costs of their 866,000 square feet
facility.
“There is a growing awareness about the value analytics can
bring to energy managers to help improve energy performance,” said
Greg Thompson, manager of Smart Grid Offers at Schneider Electric.
“We are pleased to join efforts with ComEd to offer customers
additional energy saving products and services that utilize Green
Button data.”
Green Button is an industry initiative stemming from a White
House call to action for utility companies to voluntarily provide
customers with easy access to their energy usage in a secure and
user-friendly electronic format.
This initiative is part of ComEd’s Smart Grid Exchange, a
collaboration between ComEd, entrepreneurs, technology start-ups,
universities and customers to explore and design new products,
offers and innovative solutions that utilize the intelligence of
the smart grid.
ComEd’s sister utilities, BGE in Baltimore and PECO in
Philadelphia, are joined in this effort to provide its customers
with energy usage analysis through the Green Button Connect My Data
functionality.
