“I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Billing of Advanced Retail Energy Analytics when he was asked by the U.S. DOE’s Better Buildings Challenge program to serve as a subject matter expert in a webinar on sub-metering. Not only was Ryan a highly knowledgeable expert on the topic of energy sub-metering in retail and other types of facilities, but he was able to discuss advanced and challenging concepts in a way that non-energy experts could easily understand. This combination of skills was well-suited for the webinar, which attracted approximately 350 energy managers across many economic sectors. Ryan’s presentation provided meaningful insights into how implementing sub-meters to collect energy data can be used to generate real-time energy savings opportunities. The examples Ryan provided were immediately impactful in helping his peers understand how to use sub-metering technology to reduce both energy consumption and demand. As a result, Ryan’s presentation contributed significantly to the event’s success, which was reflected in many positive comments we received.”
