Description
Sapient’s plug load management system analyzes the specific power consumption and performance of each individual device connected to Sapient’s smart plugs. This proposed Phase I project will support the DOD’s mission to reduce energy consumption per gross square foot by metering and management of plug loads. The Sapient plug load management system is a deployment of smart outlets and smart power strips that collect live power consumption data on the plugged-in devices in a building. It can analyze the specific power consumption and performance of each individual device connected to Sapient’s smart plugs and identify it after comparing its power consumption characteristics to a proprietary database of known consumers. The end result is reduced operational costs and energy consumption, improved safety, and enhanced overall building operational efficiency, among other uses. This proposed phase I objective is to evaluate the technical feasibility of the system within the Airforce bases while determining the most appropriate pilot site.
