by Rebecca Walker — November 30, 2009 Servidyne, Inc. recently introduced a comprehensive technology-enabled demand response and energy efficiency product line under the brand name Fifth Fuel Management.
Servidyne is expanding its Web-based iTendant platform to create a real-time, energy optimization and demand response system, combining its proprietary technologies and award-winning energy efficiency programs and best practices. Demand response is emerging as a critical tactic to help address the growing imbalance in the supply and demand of generated electric power in the United States, notes Servidyne.
The company successfully tested the new system at several large luxury hotels this past summer in a pilot program for a major U.S. electric utility, implementing the demand response participation by controlling the hotels’ peak time energy usage. Servidyne has begun marketing Fifth Fuel Management to a network of electric and natural gas utilities, as well as to owners and operators of large commercial office buildings, retail stores, hotels, light industrial facilities and institutional buildings.
