Sempra Energy’s headquarters in downtown San Diego, California, is home to nearly 400,000 square feet of building space. The 16-story, LEED Gold-certified building includes numerous office and conference spaces, a gym, a café, and a parking garage with 24 electric vehicle charging stations.
To model energy-efficient projects that could be replicated at other high-rise buildings, Sempra Energy commissioned a solution to reduce power consumption during peak hours, decrease strain on the urban electric grid, and mitigate demand charges. The Sempra model serves as a fully-operational example to help future clients better understand how they may replicate the PXiSE microgrid solution at their properties to improve energy efficiency.
