Seagate Property Management Reduces Peak Power Use By As Much as 30%

Seagate Property Management, a company that owns and leases a number of major properties in California and Colorado, is accomplishing great things in the area of demand response. As a member of the Business Energy Coalition, a group of Bay Area businesses committed to reducing power use at peak times, Seagate has routinely reduced its peak power demand at 44 Montgomery Street in San Francisco by 27-30% -- all without having to ask its tenants to make any changes in their energy use. The company has implemented building equipment upgrades, including replacement of one of its chillers, window film installation, and installation of variable frequency drives for the HVAC system. In addition, the building's property engineers achieve part of their savings by shutting down non-critical equipment during a peak power event and keeping a close eye on their energy management system.
