At our meeting on Monday, September 24, 2018, the Long Island Chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers welcomed John McArto and Mark Morales of Legend Power® Systems Inc. (www.legendpower.com), a global leader in voltage management technology, who presented on Conservation Voltage Reduction.
Legend Power® Systems Inc. helps buildings use less energy by eliminating ‘overvoltage’; an inherent challenge associated with power grids around the world. Legend’s industry-proven Harmonizer™ enables dynamic power-management of an entire building. The proprietary and patented system reduces total energy consumption and power costs, while also maximizing the life of electrical equipment. Legend’s unique solution is also a key contributor to both corporate sustainability efforts, and the meeting of utility energy efficiency targets.
You are hereby invited to join the Long Island Chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers at our upcoming meeting, Monday, May 21, 2018 at 7 pm, to be held in Theobald Hall Room 411, at the Old Westbury Campus of NYIT. We are pleased to welcome our own Dr. Robert Amundsen, who will present “Micro Structures: Going Green by Going Small” and explain how significant energy savings can be achieved by downsizing the building footprint. This can be accomplished by adopting a more sustainable lifestyle, and using compact equipment. The financial and environmental benefits are significant.
Robert N. Amundsen, Ph.D., CEM, LEED AP BD+C, is the Director of the M.S. in Energy Management program at the School of Engineering and Computing Sciences of New York Institute of Technology. He is responsible for programs at the NYIT campuses in Old Westbury, Manhattan, Vancouver, and online. Dr. Amundsen is the President of the Long Island Chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers.
