These days, "Green" is THE buzzword. We at Encore have a long standing and fully committed approach to using technology to our advantage when attempting to reduce our carbon foot print and environmental impact. As the so called "Prius" effect has shown, one of the best ways to reduce our consumption of  electricity, natural gas, propane and water is to become fully aware of much of any given resource we're using. With that in mind, we have strived to create and provide the means to monitor, and potentially manage, your home or business' consumption. We were the first systems integrator in Arizona to work at the Platinum level within the strict confines of the USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification process. What does that mean to you? If you are looking for the means of displaying a "dashboard" of what resources are being used and where (as well as monitoring your alternative energy production), no one else in the area has the experience, creative solutions or ability to integrate the necessary sensor and control networks or software used in the industry.
