<div class="overview-text col-lg-6">
<p>We believe a sustainable future for human life requires dynamic energy intelligent technology.</p>
<p>We&rsquo;ve developed advanced sensor technology that can be quickly and easily installed into any building&rsquo;s electrical panels to get granular data down to the circuit level. Our proprietary AI algorithms enrich the data streams, and analytics reveal clear actions to take to increase the efficiency and reliability of the electrically-run equipment in the building. Adaptive automation takes those insights one step further, saving money effortlessly.</p>
<p>With tens of millions of square feet monitored and growing, each day we are motivated by our mission.</p>
