Shelton energy savings company secures new patents

PHOTO | ANDREW VENDITTI Subbloie divined a fundamental truth about the energy business: ‘You can’t manage what you can’t measure.’

Energy startup Budderfly has secured two new patents aimed at protecting its process for helping customers cut energy costs.

The Shelton-based company indicated it now has six patents, with more pending.

Al Subbloie, president and CEO, said the patents, awarded by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, demonstrate the company’s “industry-leading approach to energy management.”

"This is official recognition for the combination of our 'in-the-lab' work plus our dedication to solving the complex business issues that so often slow or stop company leaders from committing to saving energy and enabling their firms to go green," Subbloie said in an announcement.

Budderfly provides businesses with short and long-term savings related to their energy costs and usage, such as through equipment upgrades, system maintenance and monitoring.

According to the company, the technology underlying the patents enables its systems to help customers save money and  reduce their carbon footprint. 

One of the new patents protects the company’s process that allows it to provide energy savings without a time-delaying audit or having to predict future usage. A second patent involves the company’s ability to combine energy usage and client operational measurements on a user-friendly monthly bill, according to an announcement.

At no upfront cost to customers, Budderfly implements energy intelligence software and energy efficiency upgrades, such as LED lights and HVAC controls. It also offers proactive maintenance for a building’s energy infrastructure. 

Once Budderfly helps a customer save money, Budderfly and the client become partners. Budderfly, which has over 2,000 customers in North America, makes money by taking a percentage of the energy savings.
