COP21 saw the signing of a historic climate agreement – the Paris Agreement – among the world’s 195 countries. This milestone came from commitments of over 5,000 global companies that together represent over $38 trillion in revenue[1]. The Conference’s particular emphasis on energy efficiency and building efficiency, compounded with a general technology transformation in the market, could signify the right timing for the commercial real estate sector to take advantage of these changes and engage with the growing body of stakeholders.

Read MoreThe results are in from our industry-wide survey of 800 building professionals, and one thing is paradoxically clear: There's rampant confusion in the alphabet soup of building and energy management. Although there is confusion surrounding the actual features distinguishing energy management systems from building management systems, there is no mistaking the growing need among building professionals to reduce energy costs. Given the proven track record of Energy Management Software (EMS) in reducing energy expenditures, it stands to reason that we are approaching the tipping point of the demand for EMS.

Oakland, CA, Jan. 8, 2016 — MACH Energy, the leading provider of commercial real estate (CRE) energy management solutions announced today a highly successful 2015, during which the company expanded its reach and impact in many ways:
Central to the company’s success is the launch of MACH Energy Insights, a comprehensive and flexible software platform that automatically identifies, quantifies using utility grade tariff engines and tracks savings Initiatives. In fact, the system has already identified opportunities equal to $60 million savings, 14,700 ENERGY STAR points, reducing the collective carbon footprint by 361,000 tons of CO2.
The system also saves building personnel’s time by automating time consuming tasks like energy budgets, tenant billing or tariff based alerts via pushed updates or easy to use mobile access. Insights can be set up and installed quickly and easily via MACH’s hundreds of utility importers or via MACH’s team of experts.
“In 2015, MACH Insights has led to strong enthusiasm and growth in our customer base, by adding leaders such as publicly traded Hudson Pacific, well regarded institutional advisors like L&B Realty Advisors and our first buildings in Canada,” said Jon Moeller, CEO of MACH Energy. “We have also been able to leverage our experience and talent to enhance our solutions for customers, and we look forward to 2016, where we will continue to focus on our customer experience, delivering easy setups, reduced complications and most of all, savings in both energy and time.”
To do so, MACH invested heavily in both client services and marketing in 2015. Kristin Rock was hired as VP of Client services in early 2015 after having a similar role helping improve retention and response at Phoenix Energy Technologies (recently acquired by Duke Energy).
Wei-En Tan, Ph.D. joined MACH in Q2 2015 as VP of Marketing after leading marketing for Joule Assets and Elster, a multi-billion dollar smart grid and metering company. Her team has since conducted the largest industry survey (with more than 900 respondents) and white paper on building energy management software, in which many findings have been incorporated in Insights. The report has elicited significant interest amongst both media and industry professionals, and is available to interested parties here.
Finally, MACH also welcomed Tom Donoghue as a board advisor. Tom brings with him a unique and dynamic real estate skill set, and was most recently SVP of Operations for Equity Office. For more than ten years, Tom oversaw a 22-million-square-foot portfolio, culminating in a highly successful sale of the portfolio. “We saved millions using MACH Energy at Equity Office and I look forward to helping MACH position the company to help other owners and operators.”

Recently, our very own Jon Moeller and Wei-En Tan were guests on the Energy Efficiency Markets Podcast hosted by Lisa Cohn to discuss the insights gained from MACH’s industry survey of over 800 building management professionals and engineers on energy management solutions. In this podcast, Jon and Wei-En explain the widespread confusion in commercial real estate surrounding the differences between building management systems and energy management systems. They also reveal the primary motivations that drive the adoption of EMS – mainly, reducing energy costs – as well as the most enticing features, such as real-time monitoring to prevent unforeseen bill increases.
We’ve all heard the axiom “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” This is particularly true when it comes to managing energy – the information contained in your monthly invoice is simply not sufficient for successfully controlling your energy costs and usage.
In the past, getting better visibility into energy meant a complicated installation process with metering devices, data loggers, internet cables, power adapters and contractors. I previously had responsibility for more than 1,000 assets and I know what a headache installation can be, and how easily it can fall to the bottom of our "to-do" list. But it doesn't have to be that way! A couple of significant advances have radically changed this scenario for the better, and has made harvesting your energy data much simpler.
