Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is the driving force behind the idea of “negawatts” – energy demand that is no longer required. Energy efficiency helps address critical utility challenges including base load growth, peak load growth, and carbon management.  Effective consumer engagement is paramount to a successful portfolio of programs using these demand side strategies.

The Smart Grid presents new opportunities for consumer engagement utilizing secure two-way communications to connect consumers, devices, and energy service providers.  Dynamic pricing offers consumers new opportunities to save energy and reduce their electric bill.  Enabling home area network devices – such as in-home displays, programmable communicating thermostats, and load control switches – enhance energy efficiency and demand response program participation.  And entirely new channels for communication with the customer, such as in-home displays, offer opportunities to improve program performance and increase customer satisfaction.

Trilliant’s consumer solutions consist of flexible end-to-end solutions including software, devices, and networking that support energy efficiency and demand response programs.  The product portfolio consists of UnitySuite DSM software, SecureMesh intelligent communications cards, and in-home devices including the SecureMesh Certified AzTech In-Home Display, SecureMesh Certified Pioneer Programmable Communicating Thermostat, and SecureMesh Certified FA Remote Appliance Controller.
