As of August 2020, we are excited to announce that the Axiom Exergy team is now Axiom Cloud Inc!

What follows is the story of two identical grocery stores that experienced the same compressor failure on the same day. However, that is where the similarities end.

Axiom has adapted a number of proven execution frameworks, including Agile methodology, to meet our unique needs. In this post, we take a look under the hood.

California, along with many other regions throughout the world, is implementing regulations to decrease the use of HFC's and therefore reduce their impact on the environment. Supermarkets need to start adapting.

In this blog post, we will explain demand charges and commercial time-of-use utility bills, followed by a discussion of how energy storage can be used to lower the costs associated with them.

We are excited to announce the release of two new case studies, which highlight our Platform's two main services: Virtual Technician and Virtual Battery. Axiom has brought AI to the underserved refrigeration industry!

Axiom Cloud's IoT Platform is a lightweight, software-based addition to any refrigeration system that transform it into an intelligent, flexible, optimized asset. Through intelligent pre-cooling and load-shedding of thermal systems, the Virtual Battery app is able to provide services across fleets of buildings that are similar to those provided by a traditional battery.

Because of their high operating expenses, in particular their high energy costs, it's no secret that solar power can create massive savings for grocery stores. After installing solar arrays, many store owners are finding that they need storage to take full advantage of the power of the sun.

For the last 20 years, supermarket managers have emphasized reducing energy (kWh) consumption of their stores. This is no longer enough. Today, supermarket owners must focus on managing power (kW), which drives 60-70% of their electricity bill.

Exergy is a well-defined concept in thermodynamics, and understanding it is the first step to understanding why our CTO and co-founder, Anthony Diamond, decided on the name Axiom Exergy.

"As DER technologies and strategies, EVs, and IoT continue to proliferate, and the traditional grid evolves to a smart grid, the relationship between buildings and the grid will change. Buildings will become active partners in the electricity sector."

Energy storage has arrived. It's gone from a nice-to-have to a must-have for utilities that are integrating renewables on the grid. For utilities navigating how to integrate storage into their planning, here are a few things to consider.

While the impressive growth in renewables has extensive positive attributes for the economy and the environment, the rate at which the grid is changing also creates a challenge for utilities and presents a clear solution: energy storage.

Ever since the announcement that Amazon is acquiring Whole Foods, we've been getting some version of the same question from partners, customers, and investors: "What does this mean for Axiom?"

Refrigeration represents almost 10 percent of energy consumed in the entire US, yet there's been very little innovation in the industry or technology to allow building operators to save money and energy.

The electricity grid is experiencing a historically rapid transformation in North America. Originally designed as a regulated, vertically integrated energy generation and delivery monopoly, …

For many facilities with smoother load curves, behind-the-meter li-ion battery systems are NOT the answer, nor will they be in the foreseeable future.
