Power factor is an important part of energy efficiency that becomes clear when you have a beer. Imagine the beer in your glass is the usable power, while the foam is wasted energy. In this analogy, thanks to Leading Energy Edge, you want as little foam as possible, indicating a higher power factor.
Energy waste may sound insignificant, but it's a real problem — and we're all paying for it.
That's because public utilities deliver electricity based on a customer's peak load, even though that peak may only happen one day out of the year. This rigid model makes it difficult to supply just the right amount of high-quality power to everyone at the right time.
Fortunately, predictive analytics and innovative systems like our Virtual Utility® offer the promise of a brighter, more flexible and more efficient energy future. Here's a closer look at how we're helping ensure the glass is more than half full for everyone.
Glossary of terms
Energy efficiency is the practice of achieving equivalent or superior outcomes while consuming less energy. The fundamental concept underlying it is to minimize energy use while maintaining or improving the quality of the output or service.

Commercial Buildings Waste 30% of Their Energy
Commercial buildings account for 35% of electricity consumption in the United States, and 30% of all the energy they use is wasted due to vacancies or inefficiencies, according to Energy.gov.
Public utilities charge for electricity based on a customer's peak load, even though they may only use that amount one day of the year. Every consumer pays the price for this current model. Yet the future promises much more flexibility.
Virtual Utility® bridges energy demand and supply gaps by analyzing real-time usage patterns. This data-driven approach reduces reliance on public utilities during peak times and integrates seamlessly with renewable energy sources.
This ultimately benefits everyone, from utilities to commercial, industrial and residential users. (This illustration from our partner, Keyfive, highlights those benefits.)
Investing in a resilient and sustainable energy source pays dividends for decades, eliminating unplanned downtime and safeguarding your company from market fluctuations due to weather, increased demand, and an aging power grid.
Our innovativeVirtual Utility® is an on-site power generation and energy storage system designed to provide reliable, cost-effective power while decreasing your physical and carbon footprint.
Given the long-term financial and operational benefits, we’ve developed a detailed approach to calculating a company’s upfront costs and estimated savings based on a variety of factors.
