At *PowerCalc*, we want to add our energy savings module, [ERASE](https://www.powercalc.co/energy-saving-panel?utm_campaign=Save%20Energy&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_PZNOXqP7stDLJQ5IHxtBzcaNOeHkT9GKxGbm_B1BzBgiIuvyaRuQ1drRQ-uacuVYTWnae)(tm) to this list. ERASE optimizes the distribution of electricity in buildings measuring both decreased energy use /  increased energy efficiencies as well as return-on-investment. The conductors / wires that distribute electricity are the single largest link between the generation and end-use consumption of electricity. [Commit to Green #1](https://www.powercalc.co/article-1-of-3-commit-to-green-at-least-7-energy-saved-1?utm_campaign=Save%20Energy&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_PZNOXqP7stDLJQ5IHxtBzcaNOeHkT9GKxGbm_B1BzBgiIuvyaRuQ1drRQ-uacuVYTWnae) [Commit to Green #2 ;](https://www.powercalc.co/article-2-of-3-commit-to-green-data-centers?utm_campaign=Save%20Energy&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_PZNOXqP7stDLJQ5IHxtBzcaNOeHkT9GKxGbm_B1BzBgiIuvyaRuQ1drRQ-uacuVYTWnae)[Commit to Green #3](https://www.powercalc.co/article-3-of-3-commit-to-green-the-numbers-/-the-calculations-1?utm_campaign=Save%20Energy&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_PZNOXqP7stDLJQ5IHxtBzcaNOeHkT9GKxGbm_B1BzBgiIuvyaRuQ1drRQ-uacuVYTWnae) ERASE's  approach is unique and will allow energy efficiency to be designed into the  building *before* it is even built or renovated. At *PowerCalc*, we are applying to the National Science Foundation for a grant to prove the effectiveness of ERASE in the field /  actual practice. ***We are seeking consultants to share finished project plans with us for the following types of buildings: data centers, office buildings (high rise), manufacturing facilities, and any other type of commercial building.*** For selected plans, we will provide a consulting fee and evaluate the impact of ERASE on energy efficiencies working together with you throughout the implementation of the proposed study. Contact us at [support@powercalc.co](mailto:support@powercalc.co). Let us know what projects you wish to share and we will get back with you right away!
