Smart Energy Memo

784 Words4 Pages

To: President Dr. Papazian
From: Sumaid Mahmood
Subject: Benefits Smart Energy at SJSU Engineering Building
Date: 11/13/2017

Purpose of today’s memo I am requesting for a development of an Energy Dashboard at our SJSU Engineering Building while proposing $80,000 grant to the Engineering department for students to develop an energy dashboard under the direction of a professor of their choice.

Discussion:
The usage of property sectors faces several pressures relating to energy including rising energy cost and maintaining tenant satisfaction. More than 37% of the building in the bay area are emission by greenhouse gas affection and 10% of them including the commercial and educational institutions. Energy Dashboard will help the provider to …show more content…

Data analytical from smart energy reading will not just have an impact in residential areas but will also benefit education institutions and commercial properties. Smart Energy will help data analytics to reveal information about the consumer's behavior, like for example the data surveys being pool together by power distributing companies will help them define how much customers are using their energy and determine its cost in specific areas depending on energy’s demand and supply provided by electrical firms. SJSU is not the first one to adopt the smart energy technology, UC Davis has been using it since 2016. According to CEED UC Davis website, their dashboard measures EUI (Energy use intensity = annual energy use (kBtu)/building square footage (ft^2)) which is a mathematical formula to motorized building’s yearly energy usage divided by its square footage (CEEP UC Davis). Distributing power companies don’t have to depend on the workforce to analyze the company supply data; smart energy will automatically record the data to the processing system which helps the management system of improving the demand of supply in the engineering

  • Duke Energy Industry Comparison Paper

    736 Words  | 3 Pages

    By researching I discovered that Duke Energy was the largest power corporation, but Engie and National Grid are not far behind. However, these two corporations are located in other countries, so I decided to do an overall industry comparison using S&P. By looking at the ratios found in Appendix A.2 and A.3, it is noted that the industries are very similar, but Duke Energy is right below the industry average. Although Duke is slightly below the industry this could be due to expansion and investment. Duke is growing and is the top electric utility corporation in America.

  • Energy Policy Has Become A Racket And The Madness Must Stop By Judith Sloan

    475 Words  | 2 Pages

    The state government's approach on Australia’s energy policy has provoked much debate in recent media. The Australian opinion piece, titled ‘Energy policy has become a racket and the madness must stop’ (November 7, 2016) was written by an Australian economist, Judith Sloan, in response to this debate. Sloan presents a mocking and skeptical tone where she argues that ‘it’s time for the federal government to intervene to stop this madness’. She attacks the Australian state governments by portraying its management techniques which are contrary to her ideals as foolish, uncaring and deceitful. This creates distrust of this section of the government in the audience and further supports her view by using evidence and appeals to hip pocket nerve to gain approval of ‘the Australian taxpayer’.

  • The Dangerous Delusions Of Energy Independence Analysis

    375 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Robert Bryce’s article “The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence” he explains the depths of America’s delusional perception of energy independence and asserts his evident disapproval of the subject. He begins by mentioning past presidents and their verbal concerns of an upcoming energy crisis leading into the similar views held by America’s majority. The fact that energy independence will make America self-sufficient, create new jobs, keep U.S. soldiers out of the Persian Gulf, and result in a thriving economy has become a generally accepted attitude. Bryce claims that this attitude has escalated since the attacks of September 11th due to the numerous news stories proposing that “buying oil from the countries of the Persian Gulf

    The harnessing of electricity is emblematic of this trend. As it relates to the process of innovation, the work of developing electricity as a cheap and widely applicable power source fell increasingly to the newly organized industrial and corporate research labs. The first among these were Thomas Edison's Menlo Park lab in New Jersey (an industrial lab) and the company lab established at GE (a corporate lab) at the turn of the century. Following the trail blazed by Edison, the whole process of innovation came to rely more on specialists, trained scientists, collaboration, and corporate funding-establishing the basic blueprint for cradles of twentieth-century

    Another aspect of the policy is providing incentives for already established buildings and homes to make changes such as insulating solid walls, changing doors and windows, and using LED lighting. It is imperative that as a country we accept and take action for our carbon footprint produced by buildings and the numerous amount of appliances inside that consume astounding amounts of energy. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, buildings and the appliances they contain are responsible for more than 20% of all global energy consumption, specifically 50% in the United States. With the population continuing to grow rapidly, more buildings are being built which provides the perfect opportunity to initiate the trend of energy efficiency. Some beneficial implementations include; LED lighting, hybrid solar lighting, green roof gardens, and air- source heat pumps.
