Reduce and Monitor Your Energy Usage with Energy Management and Home Automation

We’re fortunate to live on a beautiful island and in a state that has been a leader in conservation and environmental protection for decades. In 2015, Hawaii became the first state in the U.S. to ban plastic bags. In 2018 and 2021, they banned the sale of sunscreens that contain petrochemicals believed to harm coral reefs. They also committed to being carbon neutral by 2045.  

In Kauai, HI, we consider it important to do our part in creating a sustainable environment. In fact, Kauai quit using oil to produce most of its electricity years ago. Today, about 70% of Kauai’s electricity grid is powered by renewables. At Pacific Audio & Communications, we also believe strongly in reducing carbon emissions and helping our clients live a more sustainable life while untethering from the electric grid. 

As an energy management consultant, we empower our clients to take control of their energy consumption, reducing their reliance on the power grid by using load shedding, renewable energy, and smart technology. Let’s see how it’s done.

Learn What a Technology Integrator Can Do for Your Winery

Energy management is becoming an essential component of a business’s strategy. For some, it’s about reducing costs. For others, it’s about minimizing their carbon footprint. For many, it’s a combination of increasing profits and caring for the Earth and future generations. At Pacific Audio & Communications, we’re uniquely positioned as an energy management consultant and electronic systems integrator to help companies achieve their energy goals. 

We not only help businesses come up with an energy management plan but also install and implement the system. An example of this integrated approach can be found at the Del Dotto Winery, our clients in Napa Valley, CA, and a project that won the CEDIA Award for Best Innovative System.

Let’s look at the possibilities and how to reduce your energy load.

LEARN HOW OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT TEAM RELIEVES THE STRESS OF BROWNOUTS, INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY AND PRODUCT QUALITY.

Consistent power is vital to any business in the Napa Valley, CA, area; wineries are especially dependent on the grid to develop and protect their product. In recent years, companies have had to contend with environmental factors such as a desire to lower their carbon footprint and increasing reliability issues with PG&E.

The UC Berkeley December 2019 paper entitled ‘2040, Electricity Independence and Microgrids’ points out that wildfires and transmission issues have affected over 32,000 Napa Valley customers. The results were loss of work, the danger of wine fouling and supply chain setbacks decreasing revenue for months to years after.

SONNEN’S ECO-FRIENDLY SOLAR, STORAGE, AND MONITORING PROVIDE COMFORT AND SECURITY

The security and reliability of local infrastructures continue to be a growing concern. The critical issues range from an overextended power grid, weather and natural disturbances associated with climate change. More recently, several national systems suffered reduced output due to breaches by hackers into the operations management.

While the Hawaii energy office continues its goal to modernize the grid by 2045, we still pay more than double for electricity than the rest of the US. You need energy independence that goes beyond diesel backup generators. The bounty of the sun in our state provides more clean, renewable power than you could hope to use in your smart home.

Working with our energy management consultant team can save you money and give you the peace of mind a sonnen solar and storage unit furnishes. Are you intrigued by the possibilities? Read below to learn more.
