In our video, we discuss our energy savings module (ERASE(tm)). Its approach is unique: it focuses on the conductor / wires that transmit electricity...the single largest link between the generation and end-use consumption of electricity. It saves 7%+ of energy use by optimizing the design of the power distribution system inside the facility. We also introduce the *PowerCalc* team, our company, our software, and our goals. So take a look.

For the first time, the ability to calculate and specify the exacting detail of conductor sizes is easily possible due to *PowerCalc's* automation of the electrical design process. Designing with PowerCalc, including ERASE, can save at least 7% in energy use and *likely a lot more*.  [Extreme Savings in Data Centers](https://www.powercalc.co/voltage-drop-in-data-centers-re-think-for-extreme-savings-in-energy-equipment?utm_campaign=1%20Line%20Diagram&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9HWrnQ5vIlReltCHiheZnUAF-PVJ0zvVU1GaJu9cLPe5ZpVl7N6CPUUymvDRJbXRKcryuA)  [Energy Savings Module](https://www.powercalc.co/energy-saving-panel?utm_campaign=1%20Line%20Diagram&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9HWrnQ5vIlReltCHiheZnUAF-PVJ0zvVU1GaJu9cLPe5ZpVl7N6CPUUymvDRJbXRKcryuA)  [Commit to Green #1](https://www.powercalc.co/article-1-of-3-commit-to-green-at-least-7-energy-saved-1?utm_campaign=1%20Line%20Diagram&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9HWrnQ5vIlReltCHiheZnUAF-PVJ0zvVU1GaJu9cLPe5ZpVl7N6CPUUymvDRJbXRKcryuA)  [Commit to Green #2](https://www.powercalc.co/article-2-of-3-commit-to-green-data-centers?utm_campaign=1%20Line%20Diagram&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9HWrnQ5vIlReltCHiheZnUAF-PVJ0zvVU1GaJu9cLPe5ZpVl7N6CPUUymvDRJbXRKcryuA)    [Commit to Green #3](https://www.powercalc.co/article-3-of-3-commit-to-green-the-numbers-/-the-calculations-1?utm_campaign=1%20Line%20Diagram&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9HWrnQ5vIlReltCHiheZnUAF-PVJ0zvVU1GaJu9cLPe5ZpVl7N6CPUUymvDRJbXRKcryuA)   **Listed on US DOE's Building Energy Software Tools Directory** *PowerCalc* is [listed on the US Department of Energy's Building Energy Software Tools Directory.](https://www.buildingenergysoftwaretools.com/software-listing?=Search&keywords=powercalc&field_platform_tid=All&field_price_tid=All&field_last_updated_value%5Bvalue%5D%5Byear%5D=2010&field_language_tid=All&keys=&buildingtype=&sort_by=field_rating_rating&sort_order=DESC&items_per_page=40&utm_campaign=1%20Line%20Diagram&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9HWrnQ5vIlReltCHiheZnUAF-PVJ0zvVU1GaJu9cLPe5ZpVl7N6CPUUymvDRJbXRKcryuA)    [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1002713/0ab391e1-360e-4211-839a-cceab9a5f499.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1002713/0ab391e1-360e-4211-839a-cceab9a5f499) And remember, we have a free demonstration  on the first Friday of each month:  [FREE Demonstration Friday, April 3rd at 12 EST](https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tZckdu-pqTspMw7b226jdL6KiwxiNo1u0Q?utm_campaign=1%20Line%20Diagram&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9HWrnQ5vIlReltCHiheZnUAF-PVJ0zvVU1GaJu9cLPe5ZpVl7N6CPUUymvDRJbXRKcryuA) Hope you will join us!
