Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How do the controls work?
    Several devices will be installed around your facility that communicate with each other and show you or your energy manager how much energy each unit is using in real time. By analyzing your usage patterns, you’ll be able to see where you may be wasting energy, and thus help you make adjustments to lower your monthly expenses. This visibility unlocks powerful, actionable insights designed to make businesses more resilient long-term.  

  2. What products are available?
    Currently, Hawaii Energy is working with a company called GridPoint. Their smart building platform includes a combination of smart devices, cloud-based software, and building controls that collect data, analyze energy and facility patterns, identify inefficiencies, and tells a building what to do to be most efficient.

  3. How do smart devices benefit me?
    They lower your costs! A reduction in energy consumption means a reduction of your monthly energy bill and cash back to your bottom line.
