Backed by RLE Technologies, new company will provide data centers with turnkey energy efficiency solutions, improved PUE, and potential utility rebates

FORT COLLINS, Colo.–()–RLE Technologies, a leading provider of water leak detection systems and web-based monitoring solutionsfor mission-critical facilities, announced today the formal launch of a new division, Future Resource Engineering.

“For all their benefits, data centers consume an incredible amount of energy: an estimated 91 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in just 2013”

The new enterprise will systematically identify facility and operational inefficiencies in enterprise or embedded data centers and implement turnkey solutions to reduce power usage and increase the data center’s bottom line. Future Resource Engineering administers a three step process to provide data center owner/operators with tangible power savings with no IT downtime or movement of equipment. Their Efficiency Engineers perform:

  • Facility Evaluations to determine energy and operational inefficiencies. This free service determines if an engagement with Future Resource Engineering can produce a significant enough ROI for the customer to justify moving forward.
  • Efficiency Reporting, which includes a complete energy audit that measures facility metrics and quantifies precisely how much savings a customer can expect to see. Recommendations typically include: adjusting airflow management, implementing or upgrading equipment monitoring and controls, improving operational protocols, increasing cooling efficiency, and other best practices. During this phase, the Future Resource Engineering team also works closely with local utility companies to validate their findings and help determine potential energy reduction incentives.
  • Implementation of the suggestions outlined in the efficiency report. Future Resource Engineering is one of the few companies that can also execute on recommendations. This results in little disruption to the daily facility operations and no downtime. Additionally, the company is one of the few that will help clients reduce the financial risk of implementing the efficiency plan by utilizing utility incentives and vendor neutral solutions to offset project costs. The anticipated utility incentives can be deducted from the total project price up front, essentially transferring much of the risk from the customer to Future Resource Engineering if a project doesn’t meet expected efficiency goals.

Future Resource Engineering will be directed by Jeremy Swanner, a technology industry expert with 20 years of management experience focused on business growth and product development. He has assembled a seasoned team of Efficiency Engineers and Business Development Managers with more than 50 years of combined experience in the data center space.

“For all their benefits, data centers consume an incredible amount of energy: an estimated 91 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in just 2013,” said Jeremy Swanner, Executive Vice President of Future Resource Engineering. “Thanks to the numerous utility-approved incentive programs, there are many tangible motivations for data center owner/operators to make their facilities energy efficient. Beyond the important reduction in energy costs, creating a green data center benefits local communities and improves the environment for all of us. There really isn’t a downside and I am pleased that Future Resource Engineering can play an important role in this process.”

About Future Resource Engineering

A subsidiary of RLE TechnologiesFuture Resource Engineering was launched in 2015 to identify energy and operational efficiency opportunities for data centers that lead to tangible savings. Unique in the marketplace, Future Resource Engineering is one of the few energy efficiency companies that will help clients implement efficiency plans with minimal financial or operational risk by utilizing utility rebates and vendor neutral solutions to offset project costs. By employing a three phase solution that encompasses facility evaluations, efficiency reporting, and plan implementation, data centers typically enjoy power savings estimated between 20 and 35% with an average 24 month ROI.
