Circuit-Level Submetering Webinar, May 29, 12 pm ET
Circuit-level analytics and submetering platform (CLASP) technologies monitor individual circuits within an electrical panel in a building, providing detailed power and energy consumption data at a much more granular level than was previously achievable in a cost-effective manner. Researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory will present results from two soon to be published reports. During the webinar, researchers and facility managers will discuss findings from the evaluation, share operational guidance and answer questions. Attendees are eligible to receive continuing education credits from the American Institute of Architects.
