SkyBox
Cellular to Modbus EcoPort, OpenADR, IBB Cellular Bridge
Grid-Interactivity for Commercial Buildings
01
Grid Interactivity for incentives
The SkyBox allows legacy commercial building machines (Modbus, BACNet) to become OpenADR and CTA-2045 EcoPort certified within weeks and at a very low cost, allowing them to receive state, federal and utility incentives.
03
Pre-Loading of Grid Events
The SkyBox allows utilities and aggregators to pre-load events months ahead of time, and adjust to predicted energy needs. This means that if buildings go offline, the SkyBox can still ensure load-shifting as usual and provide historical data once connection is re-established.
02
EcoPort/OpenADR Certification
The SkyBox provides:
-
EcoPort CTA-2045 Certification on the QPL
(example) -
OpenADR 2.0b or 3.0 Certification on the QPL
(example) -
IBB Compliance

Gateway to EcoPort Modules
The SkyBox can act as a gateway to up to 25 EcoPort modules, connecting dozens of units in multi-family buildings to the grid and allowing them to coordinate energy usage.
