Product or process

REGEN Energy™ created EnviroGrid™, a wireless energy management solution that is quickly installed and can cut a business’ electric costs 5-10% or more—the equivalent of one ‘free’ electric bill every year. EnviroGrid™ is based on “swarm logic,” the way that bees communicate and coordinate with each other using simple rules.

Different types of building equipment usually operate in isolation from each other, obeying a single thermostat or a timer that has no knowledge of what else is currently operating in the facility. Since these loads do not communicate with each other, they often operate simultaneously--unnecessarily boosting the highest demand level in a given month, and causing higher than expected bills. REGEN's EnviroGrid swarm-logic controllers allow the loads to communicate and coordinate with each other, continuously smoothing out their combined electrical demand, and hence reducing monthly electricity bills.
