How to Get Involved By Long Term Initiative - FortZED

Long Term Initiatives

Imagine a building that uses 10-20% less energy, gets 10-20% more PV output, is resilient and uses back up power while providing a productive, healthy and safe environment for occupants! Stay tuned for more details.

Hybrid DC
Microgrid Technology

Generating electricity at a customer site with a small turbine or engine and capturing the heat that would be wasted for useful purposes. By capturing the wasted heat – significantly higher efficiencies can be reached.

Advance Use of Combined Heat and Power

Develop renewable energy generation alternatives in the region including wind power, solar electric, biomass and waste-to-energy resources.

Increasing Use of Renewable Energy Sources

The CrowdSource Thermostat is a direct replacement for traditional residential thermostats. It automatically reduces summer peak energy load through imperceptible, automated adjustments to the HVAC controls.
