by Shane Henson — May 1, 2013—Powerhouse Dynamics, a company working to eliminate wasteful energy consumption in the built environment, recently announced that its award-winning eMonitor has been endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association (GRA), a national nonprofit that provides a convenient and cost-effective way for restaurants, manufacturers, distributors, and consumers to become more environmentally responsible.
The eMonitor is designed specifically to meet the needs of small commercial operations such as restaurants and convenience stores, says Powerhouse Dynamics, and is the first energy management system to receive this coveted endorsement.
The eMonitor remotely controls heating and cooling systems, and identifies equipment-related issues before they turn into major problems. It analyzes every electric load in a facility and delivers real-time intelligence to weed out inefficient energy expenditures, such as unnecessary off-hours usage, and can also monitor natural gas and water usage as well as refrigeration temperatures and other key variables.
Just as beneficial, the eMonitor is as close as one’s mobile device, allowing users to perform these functions and receive alerts from anywhere, says Powerhouse Dynamics.
Restaurants that implement a complete eMonitor system will earn 11.25 GreenPoints toward becoming a Certified Green Restaurant, notes Powerhouse Dynamics.
