Both our Non-Interruptible Demand Response and our Sustainable Energy and Emissions Reductions solutions operate through our Clean Tech® delivery platform: our Real Time Network Operations Center (NOC) establishes a remote, dynamic connection to a customer’s energy management system (EMS) or field level device in each facility. Through this connection, Prenova dynamically exercises predictive diagnostics to assess asset performance. We then execute strategies for operation of business-critical equipment and energy-related assets in real time. For our Non-Interruptible Demand Response solution, our knowledge of a customer’s facility, environment, and asset system, combined with our intelligent agents and processes, allows us to take actions such as automatically cycling facility cooling or heating systems to reduce peak energy demand while maintaining the customer’s desired level of facility comfort. Once the event is over, Prenova will automatically and remotely re-establish normal system operation through the EMS. Our Demand Response solutions, while effective for one-off Demand Response events, are not a long-term energy efficiency solution. For those customers searching for a more permanent and sustainable energy reduction method, Prenova’s Sustainable Energy and Emissions Reductions offering is the perfect solution.
Sustainable Energy Efficiencies
Prenova is revolutionizing energy efficiency through the creation of sustained asset efficiencies. For our Sustainable Energy Efficiencies solution, we design and execute strategies for optimally operating business-critical equipment and energy-related assets.

Prenova continuously measures, extracts, stores, and assesses key information on operating performance parameters. This information allows us to identify and analyze performance at the component, unit, and facility level, which allows us to uncover indications of any early asset degradation and act to correct issues before incurring unnecessary operating expenses. By continuously assessing and automatically tuning control systems to conform to a customer’s established business standards, Prenova ensures compliance with a customer’s temperature ranges, set points, schedules, and other more sophisticated and complex business operating rules. This proactive approach provides the customer with continuous, real-time optimization of assets from our Real Time Network Operations Center, reducing risk of failure or impaired performance of critical equipment and energy-related assets. Below is a representative graphic of how this works for a restaurant site:
Automatic, Continuous, Remote Intervention and Tuning
Through the proactive and predictive diagnostics of our Sustainable Energy and Emissions Reductions offering, we significantly reduce energy use, emissions, equipment failures and unplanned maintenance service calls.

Prenova’s ability to identify early signs of failing assets and then act quickly to avoid equipment breakdown is a key source for improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. Prenova restores optimal operating performance levels remotely before failure occurs, delivering sustainable savings results and producing predictable financial outcomes. Prenova’s predictive building diagnostics performed by our Network Operations Center (NOC) can be analogized to the diagnostics performed on a car by General Motors’ superb OnStar® offering*. Prenova’s NOC remotely and automatically runs predictive diagnostics to assess equipment and whole system efficiencies and performance. We also remotely take action to resolve identified equipment performance anomalies, optimize building system efficiencies, and reduce costs and emissions.
We are able to remotely tune or correct nearly 70% of all equipment issues identified, significantly reducing unplanned expenditures. Additionally, we are able to measure the ongoing consumption reduction, and calculate and verify the associated reduced carbon emissions as a result of the Sustainable Energy and Emissions Reduction initiative.
*OnStar® is a registered trademark of General Motors Corporation. Prenova has no relationship with, nor is in competition with, General Motors Corporation. The analogy provided is for illustrative purposes only.
With both of these solutions, customers’ operations are maintained, energy efficiencies are sustained, and environmental stewardship of our limited natural resources is assured.
