ITHACA — Performance Systems Development, an Ithaca–based provider of building performance software and services, has joined the White House-led Green Button Initiative.
The White House last year called on industry to provide electricity consumers with easier access to their energy usage data via a green button on utility websites. Access to the information can help consumers conserve energy and save money through new tools and services developed by third parties, according to PSD.
The company plans to offer Green Button energy data connections as part of its Building Performance Compass software.
“Easy and recurring access to energy information is critical to improve the success and efficiency of the energy efficiency industry,” Greg Thomas, CEO of PSD, said in a news release. “We applaud the White House for rapidly moving forward this voluntary standard. It will help building and homeowners make better decisions, help contractors and engineers improve their energy services, and help utilities improve the cost effectiveness of their programs.”
Thomas is also chairman of Efficiency First, a national building retrofit trade association.
