EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE FROM SUN ENERGY SOLUTIONS THE SUNVIEW KNOWLEDGEBASE™ A UNIQUE CENTRALIZED PROJECT MANAGEMENT DATABASE FOR THE DESIGN-BUILD LIGHTNG INDUSTRY

(2006, Santa Ana, CA)

Sun Energy Solutions developed the SunView KnowledgeBase™ in response to their clients' needs to implement several simultaneous lighting upgrade and retrofit projects. SunView KnowledgeBase™ is a value-added database and information management service that tracks all aspects of project management and performance related to design-build energy efficient lighting projects.

The cornerstone of this service is a database platform which tracks all aspects of project management and performance related to an energy-efficient lighting project designed and implemented by Sun Energy Solutions. Tom Kirkpatrick, CEO of Eco Engineering and a partner in Sun Energy Solutions explains that "SunView KnowledgeBase™ is unlike any other tracking service in the industry. Our years of experience helped us pre-define process controls and QA standards that drive the information exchange between project managers, technicians and our clients. Our Sun Energy Solutions Technicians, on-site installation teams and centralized project managers access the database to log and track critical milestones before, during and after the lighting project. As milestones are reached, SunView is capable of generating compliance reports to ensure projects stay on-time and on-budget."

If the project experiences delays, SunView is capable of noting in exception report fashion, allowing both the client and the Sun Energy team to take corrective actions. The ability to respond and resolve issues is made possible by the exception reporting notification and subsequent entry of resolution notes. This feature also ensures that anyone who encounters similar circumstances later in the project has access to the information surrounding prior resolution. SunView features include both site-specific and total project reporting modules. Communications and documentation are attached to a project entry, where appropriate, stored in the SunView Knowledgebase™, and accessible to both client and authorized Sun Energy personnel. Daily reports, installation requirements, methods and procedures are all capable of being tracked and analyzed. Finally, project close-out documentation and actual energy savings versus engineering estimates are also available through SunView. SunView is real-time, 24/7 and is easily accessible with secure, password-protected access from any web browser.

"Large, national accounts often have a variety of energy savings lighting initiatives going on in multiple facilities and at various stages of design, implementation and close-out. These clients use SunView as their primary information management system for the projects", explains Duncan Frederick, President of Sun Industries, and a founding partner in Sun Energy Solutions. He goes on to say, "The SunView Knowledgebase™ helps enhance efficiency and accuracy in the complex world of energy efficient lighting upgrades. It provides a cumulative history of all projects, helping both clients and Sun Energy Solutions turn information into insight and decision support. Most of all, it helps Sun meet and/or exceed the expectations of our most important audience - our clients!"

The SunView Knowledgebase™. Available exclusively from Sun Energy Solutions.
