Adobe's San Francisco building gets energy-intelligent

CALIFORNIA, USA: Stem, Inc. announced that it has finalized an agreement to install and manage energy intelligence systems for its first Fortune 500 customer, Adobe. Stem will install its advanced energy storage and real-time data analytics solution in Adobe's historic Baker and Hamilton Building in San Francisco, the oldest LEED platinum building in the world.

For years, Adobe has stood among the world's foremost champions of sustainability," said Stem CEO John Carrington. "Our energy intelligence solution furthers Adobe's environmental leadership while providing immediate and long-term savings. We are looking forward to a successful collaboration for years to come."

The system will automatically and rapidly respond to spikes in the building's electricity use, drawing on previously stored power to reduce Adobe's energy costs without impacting operations. Adobe will be able to take advantage of Stem's utility capacity relief programs to help stabilize local grid operations during times of peak demand.

"Adobe is committed to exploring the newest technologies to sustainably manage our operations," said Jonathan Francom, vice president, Global Workplace Solutions, Adobe. "Stem's predictive analytics, in tandem with reliable energy storage hardware, will help manage our energy use more efficiently at peak times, and continue to minimize our impact on the environment."
