“We see a large information gap between what’s happening with utility usage and what’s possible with real-time data-driven insights”

Over 39% of total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) come from electricity production and the operation of buildings due in large part to the use of equipment that is hidden away behind locked doors, on rooftops, and in basements. Because of the location of this equipment, emerging issues may increase GHG emissions and utility expenses and not be identified until there are critical failures that could result in unexpected shutdowns, catastrophic equipment failures, and safety incidents. Vutiliti’s data collection and insights management system can simultaneously lower greenhouse gas emissions, utility expenses, and the risks of equipment failure.

“We see a large information gap between what’s happening with utility usage and what’s possible with real-time data-driven insights,” said Steve Ellis, CEO and Founder of Vutiliti. “We are leveraging and refining IoT to transform that data into actionable information that benefits our customers’ bottom-line and sustainability performance. This technology will also enable faster development of energy efficient innovations. We are excited to work with leading global investors who share our vision to always pursue the data that matters, the data that sparks change.”

Vutiliti is an energy data company that focuses on utility efficiency through detailed, timely and accurate measurement data. This data is challenging to obtain affordably in real time and at scale. Vutiliti can help companies solve these challenges with the first truly wireless, LoRaWAN enabled energy meter called the HotDrop™. Each meter can be safely installed in less than two minutes without wires, batteries, or the need to de-energize circuits, and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Each meter is securely cloud-connected to enable real-time data insights. Vutiliti leverages this location-specific information to allow customers to improve their energy efficiency performance, reduce their carbon footprint, and lower their utility bills.
