April 12, 2013: Novar, Constellation Partner to Give Retailers Access to Automated Load Response
BALTIMORE — Constellation, a business unit of Exelon, announced that Constellation’s VirtuWatt™ Link web services application is now available with the Opus Building Automation System (BAS) by Novar, a Honeywell business unit and a leading provider of multi-site energy management solutions.
According to the companies, the combination gives retailers the ability to automate and expand load response participation across multiple sites and regions through real-time electricity pricing, centralized management of building control systems, and revenue-grade metering capabilities for programs requiring quick response times. Novar retail customers who participate in Constellation load response programs also have the option of applying the revenue they earn to get controls and metering upgrades at additional locations.
