MyEnergyPlatform.com has announced its intention to launch both free and low-cost Smart Grid technology targeting New York City’s commercial, industrial, and institutional sector.

Davide Gristina, a myEnergyPlatform Trustee in charge of functional development, notes, “The patent rights in our possession were gifted, and we feel compelled to perpetuate that gift. Therefore, while some platform tools, analytics and services will rendered on a subscription fee basis, a considerable portion of the platform’s high end functionality will be built on a do it yourself model and made available first to end users and licensees in the NYC Metro area, but ultimately worldwide. Understanding, tracking, accounting and managing energy consumption, and cost, for the purpose of minimizing resource waste benefit Earth, Inc., and price tagging planet sustainability felt rather uncomfortable. This is not the only reason we’ve elected to open portions of our platform, but it’s the one that makes us feel most human.”

MyEnergyPlatform.com was inspired by a 2008 article in the New York Times that presented evidence that billions of dollars of energy is wasted in the Unites States every year. The article expressed the need for advanced technologies that reduce carbon emissions without stunting economic growth. Mayor Michael Bloomberg spurred the initiative in 2009 by requiring owners of tens of thousands of New York City’s largest buildings to conduct energy audits and undergo energy efficiency retrofits as part of newly enacted green building laws.

MyEnergyPlatform.com reports that its energy portal “will provide end users and licensees access to superior infrastructure management, resource analytics, cost recovery and sustainability services.”

Once launched, myEnergyPlatform users can register then immediately access their Green portal. The platform will use a consumer’s existing utility data to track energy usage and cost with no change to meters, providers, or services. “Separate functionality will be available to allow users to independently validate utility charges including downloadable, certified dispute resolution rate calculations.”

By using myEnergyPlatform’s offering, New York’s commercial, industrial, and institutional energy users can maximize energy management services, promote corporate sustainability, and unbundle cost recovery services.

MyEnergyPlatform.com provides infrastructure management and cost recovery services to commercial real estate owners and managers. For more information, visit myEnergyPlatform.com.
