Retroficiency, SEA to support energy efficiency saving initiatives for US

Retroficiency has entered into strategic partnership agreement with Sain Engineering Associates (SEA) to help identify and deliver massive energy efficiency saving opportunities to the US Army and the US Navy.

Under the terms of the accord, Retroficiency’s building efficiency intelligence platform will be used by SEA to deliver approximately 640 on-site energy audits at US Army and Navy buildings, over the next year, in multiple regions around the world.

SEA Federal Sustainability Group vice president Butch Wallace said Retroficiency will allow SEA to implement energy master planning in an easier, faster and more flexible way in addition to enhancing the energy audit process.

"This will offer a significant advantage for SEA as we focus on expanding our work in both the federal and corporate sectors," Wallace added.

The Department of the US Navy had announced its ambitious energy goals to enhance energy security, increase energy independence while helping nation towards a clean energy economy.

SEA will streamline data collection and management, energy efficiency measure evaluation and report generation using automated energy audit (AEA), a software solution available on Retroficiency’s building efficiency intelligence platform.

Retroficiency CEO and co-founder Bennett Fisher said: "By embracing Retroficiency’s leading analytics and rapid energy modeling platform, SEA will be able to streamline their energy audit process, while also driving deeper insights into energy efficiency projects for customers."

In addition to providing a more standardised, automated platform for long-term capital planning, AEA will enable SEA and its customers to easily explore opportunities for different projects across a portfolio, as well as to re-evaluate buildings for new opportunities over time.
