Laws in California, New York and Illinois now require owners of certain sized new buildings to “commission,” or survey their energy use.

Energy Efficiency Markets interviews Jerry Schmits, director of business development with KLH Engineers, Energy solutions group, about some unexpected benefits that arise from commissioning.
Steve Hoffman, CEO of Hoffman Power Consulting, describes the best practices that have emerged from successful U.S. community microgrids. These offer a roadmap for the next generation of community microgrids.

Download the new white paper from Velioa that explores how to navigate local utility requirements for microgrids.
