TORONTO – Screaming Power has teamed up with the City of Toronto to provide their Environment and Energy Division its own mobile application to help manage energy and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. This energy management initiative was made possible through Toronto’s Green Market Acceleration Program and Screaming Power’s “Scream Enterprise” Business mobile solution. The Pilot’s goals were to consult with the Division to build a prototype mobile app that helps educate and inform the City, while aiding in achieving its building and energy footprint goals.
The solution provides dashboards with detailed interactive maps, comparable graphs, current information and market alerts. This information, along with key building information, helps the user see what is happening and the effects it has on the building’s energy use. This real-time mobile view into information allows multiple opportunities to integrate with the “Internet of Things” (IoTs) and Energy Management Systems, as it simplifies the reuse of information.
By the end of July, Screaming Power’s Software as a Service (SaaS) received over 135,000 energy bills from Toronto’sbuilding footprint. Gary Michor, CEO of Screaming Power says, “Without access to Toronto’s Green Market Acceleration Program, the City’s expertise and government funding, we could not have achieved what we did in such a short time. We feel confident that in a matter of weeks we will have surpassed our pilot’s original goals.”
With a combined team of dedicated energy and software experts, Screaming Power’s “Scream Enterprise” infrastructure and proprietary machine-learning technology can do much more for organizations managing multiple buildings. Part of the pilot’s success was due to utilizing the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and Ontario’s Electricity Market Operator’s common datasets.
When the prototype is complete in August, the City of Toronto will have an Apple and Android solution to evaluate and Screaming Power plans to surpass their original objectives that represent over 3 years of research and development in Canada’s ever-changing energy and Greenhouse Gas management landscape. Screaming Power is now looking for more organizations, cities and municipalities that want to improve the management, reporting and socialization of their building and energy information.
