NOVI – The title of Spencer Sator’s opening presentation at
the 2015 Energy Conference and Exhibition was “Five Emerging Technologies You
Don’t Want To Miss.”
Well, it was really more like seven or eight, but who’s counting?
Sator, senior manager of emerging technology at Boulder,
Colo.-based E Source – which Sator described as “like Consumer Reports for
utilities” – said massive changes and improvements are afoot in heating,
cooling and lighting technology that will both save energy and improve the
livability of homes, offices and factories around the world.
First, Sator said, is something called dynamic airzone
balancing. Problems in balancing airzones in a building, Sator said, result in
a problem millions are familiar with – “having a freezing
coldconference room but uncomfortably hot cubicles” within a few feet of
each other.
