Yes

A. Does your customer have a decarbonization plan with milestones? If so, please share your roadmap/plan.

B. Have you or your customer completed Sustainability School? If so, please share the Sustainability School completion certificate

2. Do you Digitize?

Yes

A. Are you helping a customer deploy centralized utility data management and monitoring software for energy and carbon analysis and reporting?

Yes, we are using the features available in Building Advisor

B. With your help, is a customer metering major energy loads to uncover opportunities to reduce energy consumption and emissions?

C. Are you helping a customer monitor energy efficiency and equipment performance to gain actionable insights?

We use Building Advisor to monitor over 52 buildings campus wide. this tool allows our customer to make strategic and actionable repairs to thier critical buildings across the campus.

D. Are you enabling a customer to use power management and monitoring solutions to assess power quality and increase business resiliency and continuity?

E. On behalf of a customer, have you deployed innovations to maximize the efficiency and digitalization of their operations?

We have deployed SE Building Advisor across 52 buildings, Monitoring 2611 data sources while monitoring over 108,000 data points every 5mins. This is across over 13,800 pieces of equipment campus wide.

F. Have you implemented asset upgrades and modernization programs for a customer to optimize and increase the longevity of their plant equipment and avoid emissions ?
