Itron joins water/energy conservation project

Smart metering firm Itron Inc. has made a three-year commitment to the Frontier Project, a water and energy conservation demonstration project in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

The Frontier Project, a 14,000-square-foot LEED Platinum demonstration building, is aimed at showing individual homeowners, commercial builders and sustainability advocates the latest methods and technologies in water, energy and site conservation. Among the project’s features are a passive cooling system, made up of a cool tower and two solar chimneys, and alternative roofing options that reduce the heat gain of the building.

Later this year, the Frontier Project will feature a variety of Itron product demonstrations, showcasing innovations in metering technology and how residents, business owners and municipalities can interact with emerging technologies.
