MAISY Energy Use and Hourly Loads Databases have been applied to analyze nearly every conceivable household, firm and institution energy issue.

We believe that the best way to demonstrate potential MAISY Database applications is to present brief descriptions of our previous projects.

MAISY clients range from start-up companies and consulting engineers to the largest US companies, investor-owned utilities and the US Department of Energy.

This page includes a sample of MAISY Database applications.

Projects are provided in chronological order with the most recent projects presented first. These are just a sample of MAISY applications so be sure to contact us if you have a question about an application that is not included below.
