Case Study: 2100 Powell achieves $75,000 in annual energy savings with Gridium

2100 Powell Relies on Gridium to Optimize Energy Efficiency

2100 Powell, a Class A office tower in Emeryville, CA, needed to improve energy efficiency while keeping 16 floors of tenant space comfortable and controlling rising utility costs. The property had already tackled basic savings opportunities, so it turned to Gridium for deeper operational efficiency, rate optimization, and budgeting support using Gridium’s data-driven energy insights and advisory services.

Gridium helped 2100 Powell identify energy spikes, tighten building operations, switch to a better utility rate, and enter the California Direct Access lottery to lower supply costs. As a result, energy use trended downward, efficiency improved, and tenant comfort stayed strong. The building saved an average of $42,000 per year through rate optimization and $33,000 per year through Direct Access, for total annual savings of about $75,000.
