Regulatory Support for OutSmart Power Systems

OutSmart Power Systems
Project completed March 2016

OutSmart Power Systems provides commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities with a full energy optimization solution including its own cost-effective submetering, analytics on all circuit-level energy use transitions, and an energy services team focused on actionable, work order-ready efficiency improvement measures. On behalf of OutSmart, Synapse Energy Economics developed a cost-effectiveness screening tool and assessed the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of OutSmart’s solution, providing program administrators in Massachusetts and others visibility into OutSmart’s cost effectiveness. Our analysis found that their solution is cost-effective with a benefit-cost ratio greater than one, assuming a reasonable measure life.
