Featured Company:
GridRabbit

GridRabbit is an open platform for real time energy management connecting lights, outlets, AC, doors, and more to a smart manageable system. In 2016, founder Henrik Westergaard started the company’s first major install at the Sacramento Hyatt Regency, allowing the hotel to control the energy use in rooms when guests leave. The end-to-end hardware and software solution gives facilities managers more control over the building's energy uses. The Hyatt now buys energy from SMUD at night when it is less expensive, reduces energy use when guest leave, and is nearing a flat energy usage curve. Read more on our Blog

Sacramento Innovation Awards
Returning for its third year, the Sacramento Region Innovation Awards nominations are open through July 20. The awards recognize the area’s vibrant innovation community — from startups to established companies — and their breakthrough creations. There are eight categories including sustainability. Self-nominations are highly encouraged.
