The EnergyMAXX Tool’s ability to evaluate projects based on payback, lowest net cost, or Total Cost of Ownership (TCO),…provides great flexibility to the customer to choose which metric, or combination thereof, is most valuable to their decision makers.
PLYMOUTH, Minn. (PRWEB) May 17, 2018
Energy Management Collaborative (EMC) today announced its EnergyMAXX Tool received a Top Product/Project of the Year Award in the Environmental Leader and Energy Manager Today Product & Project Awards. The EnergyMAXX Tool is a consultative application EMC developed to simplify the process of prioritizing energy efficient lighting projects and is ideal for customers with multiple locations.
The Environmental Leader and Energy Manager Today Product & Project Awards is a program recognizing excellence in products and services that provide companies with energy and environmental benefits, or in projects implemented by companies that improved environmental or energy management and increased the bottom line.
“We are honored to have the EnergyMAXX Tool receive this level of recognition,” said EMC CEO Howard Heckes. “While there is no shortage of lighting energy savings calculators out there, they don’t include the dynamic information about newly available LED products and rebate and incentive offerings that has helped our clients literally identify millions of dollars in project savings,” he said.
This capability was echoed in the Environmental Leader and Energy Manager judges’ comments: “The EnergyMAXX Tool’s ability to evaluate projects based on payback, lowest net cost, or Total Cost of Ownership (TCO),…provides great flexibility to the customer to choose which metric, or combination thereof, is most valuable to their decision makers.”
The judges added, “[A] large number of lighting products ensures that EMC doesn’t choose “winner” and “loser” vendors, instead letting the customer evaluate many different options to fit their needs. Including rebates provides another clear value for the customer.”
