Case Study: The Swig Company achieves major energy savings and lower emissions with Gridium

The Swig Company Uses Gridium to Tackle Ambitious Cross-Portfolio Energy Reduction Targets

The Swig Company, a family-owned California office and multifamily property owner, was facing the challenge of reducing energy use across its 2.6M SF portfolio while also improving the speed and accuracy of utility budgeting. With ambitious Scope 1 and 2 emissions targets and limited staff time for deep energy analysis, Swig turned to Gridium to better understand consumption, identify savings opportunities, and streamline planning.

Gridium implemented its energy analytics platform and advisory services across Swig’s California portfolio, starting at the historic Mills Building. The solution helped the company optimize operations, rates, and efficiency upgrades, while also supporting renewable power sourcing and a planned LED retrofit. Gridium helped Swig save $110,000 in electricity costs in 2023 from operational improvements, another $42,000 per year from rate optimization, and is expected to cut energy costs by 24% at the Mills Building through the lighting project.
