Energy Demand Control - What is that?
SACC Seattle had yet another interesting evening tonight, visiting Powerit Solutions at Seattle's waterfront.
Powerit Solutions is a player in the unique field of "Energy Demand Control" and "Energy Demand Response", techniques whereby a power user can reduce its utility bills by "time shifting" when electrical energy used. See it as a TiVo for the large scale electrical consumer.
Claes Olsson, Powerit's CEO, gave a presentation of how this relatively small company is making ever greater inroads in the North American market, traditionally dominated by the Honeywells and the GEs of the world, and helping such diverse industries as food processing, smelters, and ice rinks, reduce their ever skyrocketing electrical bills.
SACC and Powerit had put up a great buffet, with wine, beer, cheese, crackers, sushi, and other things to "nibble on" while chatting with the interested audience, making this into both a fun and very interesting (some would even say educating) evening.

Tony Stewart, SKANSKA, presents at
SACC's Annual Meeting
SACC's annual meeting was held at Hotel Ändra in Seattle.
After an great buffet and time for socializing and networking, the members proceeded with electing the board for 2008.
Afthe the formal proceeedings, Tony Stewart from SKANSKA, gave a very interesting presantation of SKANSKA as well as the cosntruction industry in the United States and the Puget Sound region in particular.
SKANKSA recently (XXXX) acquired XXXX, a big and long time construction conglomerate in the U.S.. Making this gigantic investment, has given SKANKSA a strong foot hold in the very competitive North American market and a participation in many high profile public and private projects across the nation.
Tony's presentation was followed by a lively Q&Q session, ranging from regional transportation projects, via "green building", to how Swedish ownership was received in the conservative American construction sector.
We thank Tony for taking time this evening giving us an "insider's" view of what most of us only read about in the papers!
