GridPoint Energy Management Appeals to Consumers

GridPoint (Booth S10193) will be showcasing at the 2007 International Builders’ Show the market’s first intelligent energy management (IEM) products and demonstrate how they provide home owners with cleaner, more reliable and more efficient power.

With GridPoint Connect and GridPoint Protect™, builders can offer a superior alternative to generators, easy integration of renewable energy and a window into home energy use to appeal to tech-savvy and environmentally minded consumers, according to GridPoint.

Show attendees will be able to see GridPoint Connect in action at the Building America and Palm Harbor Solar Home in the outdoor exhibit area.

Home buyers are increasingly interested in more energy-efficient homes that incorporate renewable energy, says the manufacturer. Builders can leverage this growing demand by featuring GridPoint’s IEM products in their homes. Instead of relying on separate products and services for clean backup power, renewable energy integration and online energy management, builders can choose one product to do it all.

GridPoint enables builders to offer clean, safe backup power in space-constrained environments such as town homes, home offices or where traditional generators are prohibited. Also, the ability of GridPoint products to be integrated with home automation devices allows builders to tap into this growing market.

GridPoint Central, the accompanying online Web portal, enables home owners to view data on energy consumption, production and the amount of carbon emissions saved. GridPoint Connect can also facilitate the sale of excess renewable power to the utility, reducing customers’ energy costs.

GridPoint products are silent, emission-free and safe to install and operate inside a home or business. A single-box, “plug-and-play” design allows contractors to install it in less than two hours, and GridPoint handles all service and support after installation.

GridPoint is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Supplier 100 of NAHB.
