A Faster, Easier Way for School Districts to Save on Energy Costs

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — School districts can quickly reduce energy and water costs with Mountain Vector Energy’s Cufflink system—an easy-to-procure solution that turns complex data into results.

Mountain Vector Energy is a comprehensive energy and water management company that delivers technology to increase speed from ‘data to decision’ through their patented software, Cufflink. As the modern grid increases in complexity, Cufflink enables real-time utility usage and spend data to reduce waste and save money.

The greatest challenge in facilities management isn’t a lack of data—it’s turning that data into results. By doing so, school districts can reduce energy and water usage while ensuring comfortable temperatures and safe air quality. Cufflink consolidates disparate datasets into a single cloud-based platform that automates alerts, notifications, and reports in real time—empowering operations managers to make data-driven decisions.

Simple Procurement Process

Mountain Vector Energy has made it easy for schools across the United States to procure Cufflink through the Allied States Cooperative by ESC19. Here’s how it works:

This process simplifies purchasing by eliminating the need for a formal Request for Proposal (RFP). All procurement work has already been handled by the cooperative, making it quicker for districts to select and deploy this cutting-edge technology. Through ASC, schools can bypass time-consuming procedures, allowing them to implement Cufflink faster and start saving immediately. By accelerating speed to deployment, schools can more quickly realize energy and water savings, while advancing toward their sustainability goals.
