Energate Inc., a provider of interactive energy management solutions, announced a new partnership with Stream, a provider of connected services, to supply programmable communicating thermostats (PCT) and in-home displays (IHD) to up to 30,000 eligible Texas customers.

More and more homeowners are gravitating toward the control and convenience offered by new thermostats, which are designed to make managing energy easier than ever before. But, despite all the bells and whistles, consumers are most often looking for simple solutions because their time is valuable — and most don’t want to spend a lot of time tracking their energy use.

Renovate America, a provider of residential Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing, and the Missouri Clean Energy District (MCED) announced a recruitment effort to register local contractors to offer new financing for Missouri homeowners to make energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements.

The Circulator Pumps Working Group is an offshoot of the Commercial/Industrial Pumps Working Group, which convened two years ago to set standards on larger pumps.

As the first of its kind in the U.S., the standard outlines requirements and best practices for geothermal project design, installation, commissioning, and more in the U.S. and Canada.
