EMerge Alliance
The EMerge Alliance is a nonprofit open industry association established to promote the adoption of safe, low-voltage hybrid ac/dc microgrids and other evolving power collection and distribution systems used in buildings. The Alliance develops and maintains open standards that integrate power sources, wiring infrastructures, controls and a wide variety of load devices, such as lighting, HVAC, appliances, IT gear and the connected Internet of Things in a common platform that adds flexibility, resiliency, economy, safety and sustainability for new and existing buildings. EMerge is focused on the building side of the utility meter. With a keen eye on renewable and site based distributed energy sources, the Alliance is helping prepare buildings for new energy platforms as part of an evolving new energy network, or Enernet.
