GridPoint

GridPoint sells an energy management system for commercial buildings that monitors and controls HVAC, lighting, refrigeration and other equipment, using its own hardware and software. Restaurants use it to cut energy costs, watch kitchen equipment and cooler temperatures, and catch failing HVAC units early. It is sold to restaurant, retail, convenience and automotive chains, and it also works with utilities on demand response.
