  • What is SkyCentrics?
    SkyCentrics is a leading provider of cloud-based energy management solutions for both Demand Response and 24/7 Flexible load programs, and commercial/multifamily buildings. Our platform enables businesses to optimize energy usage, reduce costs, and improve sustainability by providing real-time data and insights into energy consumption and performance.
  • How does SkyCentrics' Fleet Management Work?
    SkyCentrics uses open-source cloud native solutions to provide demand response and 24/7 grid flexibility to a fleet of smart devices using the EcoPort Module. Grid events are implemented via the CTA-2045 protocol and delivered via OpenADR. SkyCentrics can act as both a data “pipe” to send events from a third-party VTN, or send events through their own “lightweight DERMS”.
  • What types of programs benefit from SkyCentrics?
    SkyCentrics EcoPort solution is tailor-made for utilities and program implementers who are looking for a connectivity solution for any CTA-2045 enabled Smart Grid Devices. SkyCentrics provides “last-mile” connectivity to fleets of smart devices across single-family and multi-family residences.
  • What are the benefits of using SkyCentrics EcoPort Modules?
    Resilient, Low-Cost Connectivity: SkyCentrics offer connectivity through low-cost cellular, WiFi, and ethernet pathways via the EcoPort Module. Trade Ally Network Solutions: SkyCentrics FLEX provides validation, incentive disbursement, and historical record of installations for a given program 24/7 Grid Flexibility: SkyCentrics can provide both at-will demand response events in times of high grid constraint, but is also a leader in 24/7 grid flexibility. This means getting value out of your connected fleet every day by conducting load away from times of high grid constraint, and towards periods of abundant cheap, clean, renewable energy Remote Monitoring: Monitor your building’s energy usage in real-time from anywhere, at any time using the SkyCentrics DREAM platform. Real-Time Insights: Use detailed reports and predictive analytics to make informed decisions about your connected equipment and/or fleet.
  • Are SkyCentrics EcoPort Modules easy to install?
    Yes, the SkyCentrics EcoPort module is designed for easy installation by both trained installers and homeowners with no prior experience. Installation is ‘Plug-and-Play’ with no wiring needed.
  • How secure is the data collected by SkyCentrics?
    SkyCentrics takes data security very seriously. We use industry-standard encryption and secure cloud storage to protect your energy data. Access to the platform is granted only to authorized users, ensuring your building's energy information is kept private and safe.
  • How can I get started with SkyCentrics?
    To get started, contact SkyCentrics for a consultation. The SkyCentrics DREAM platform is set up for “Full SaaS” solutions where a program can be initiated fully automatically, but we suggest consulting with SkyCentrics for “Best Practices” around program initiation and enrollment strategies.

  • How does SkyCentrics' Energy Management System work?
    SkyCentrics uses the SkyBox to allow legacy commercial building equipment to connect to the cloud. The SkyBox acts as a ModBus and BACnet “translator” which can take data points generated by the equipment and provide them in easy to understand dashboards on the SkyCentrics DREAM platform. SkyCentrics can also intelligently align whole-building energy use to real-time price signals and grid constraints, providing value to both the building owner and the grid. The SkyCentrics DREAM platform allows you to monitor, control, and analyze energy consumption from anywhere through a secure, easy-to-use interface.
  • What types of businesses can benefit from SkyCentrics?
    SkyCentrics is designed to support a wide range of commercial and multi-family buildings, including office buildings, retail spaces, hotels, apartment complexes, schools, and healthcare facilities. Our solutions are scalable to meet the needs of small businesses as well as large enterprises.
  • What are the benefits of using SkyBox for commercial and multifamily buildings?
    Real-Time Visibility: See previously siloed equipment in real-time. No delays in data, no specialized training needed. Cost Reduction: Align your building equipment with the cheapest grid prices, and orchestrate multiple systems to stagger peak power demands and mitigate costly demand charges Remote Control: Change equipment status using SkyBoxes cloud control to ModBus/BACnet translation remotely - no VPN required Alerts: Set parameters for individual data points and get notified when any readout is outside of its pre-set bounds, or stays outside of normal bounds for prolonged periods of time

  • Can I track energy consumption by specific areas or devices in my building?
    Yes! If multiple SkyBoxes are installed in one building, SkyCentrics provides individual power consumption numbers for each device. SkyCentrics can also set up a meter monitoring system which allows for full-building energy management solutions.
  • Can I receive alerts if there is an issue with my building’s energy system?
    SkyCentrics can send automatic alerts via email or text if energy consumption exceeds predefined thresholds or if any data point deviates from or remains outside of pre-defined parameters. This helps you diagnose and address potential issues with equipment promptly.
  • How do I find out more about pricing?
    Pricing for SkyBox implementation solutions is based on your building's size, amount of connected machinery, and specific needs. Contact us for a customized quote tailored to your facility's requirements.
