Focus on Energy leverages AI to identify energy savings for residential buildings across Wisconsin
Madison, WI — This year, Wisconsin’s Energy Efficiency Program, Focus on Energy, implemented the next phase of its Online Home Energy Assessment campaign by integrating AI (artificial intelligence), using the RetrofitAI technology developed by SaaS company, EnergyX Solutions.
Since 2011, Focus on Energy has delivered more than $1 billion worth of net economic benefits to Wisconsin. The main goals for the program are to educate Wisconsin residents about natural gas and electric energy savings opportunities as well as help install cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy projects via rebates and incentives.
EnergyX’s RetrofitAI technology changes that playing field, enabling energy efficiency programs and utilities perform cost-effective virtual building audits across their entire service territory. By using these data insights to target buildings with high potential for energy-savings and renewables, RetrofitAI boosts cost-effectiveness and program uptake.
“Leveraging machine learning and AI technologies to generate home energy savings recommendations has become a very efficient and cost-effective way to engage audiences.” said John Landowski, Digital Director at Focus on Energy. “Combining this with advancements in email marketing automations, has made an engagement tool that helps create a complete profile of each residential customer's energy efficiency roadmap.”
“EnergyX’s technology is well-aligned to support Focus on Energy’s vision of leveraging data to continue to maximize the possibilities of energy efficiency. We have already generated building profiles and energy efficiency recommendations for over 150,000 residential buildings across Winsconsin with an estimated potential savings of over $125M” said Nishaant Sangaavi, CEO and Co-Founder of EnergyX.
