Problem
Building owners face challenges in managing rising energy costs, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing operational resilience due to inefficient energy usage and limited participation in energy market programs. Existing building management systems often lack the granularity and real-time insights needed to optimize energy consumption and leverage flexible energy capacity.
Solution
Blueprint Power provides a real-time flex energy platform that enables building owners to harness the flexible energy capacity within their buildings, adding cash flow, reducing carbon emissions, and increasing operational resilience. The platform identifies, analyzes, and reports on flexible energy capacity, models options to utilize and increase this capacity, and connects building assets to market programs that pay for flexible energy capacity and incentivize demand management. By providing detailed transparency into building energy usage, Blueprint Power helps organizations decrease costs, reduce emissions, and access data to support their energy management goals. The platform integrates data across large portfolios and works with various building types, offering insights to manage and monetize flexible energy capacity.
Target Audience
Blueprint Power targets commercial real estate, manufacturing and industrial, retail, and other building owners seeking to implement affordable, reliable, lower-carbon energy solutions and generate revenue from their building's flexible energy capacity.
