Moon-Sized, Deep-Space Battlestation Proves More than $143 Trillion in Energy Savings in Just 6 Months by Partnering with EnergyPrint

Challenge Solution

The Galactic Empire is one of the With construction of the Death Star taking significantly longer than most influential organizations in expected, Death Star leadership saw an opportunity to optimize their the universe, with space stations energy performance, but were not confident where to begin. After and military installations across the working with EnergyPrint to identify possible avenues of improvement, galaxy, and an average facility size the Empire brought in outside contractor Hoth Industries to update of 20 million square feet. A recent their antiquated ion energy systems with a new hypermatter reactor. addition to their fleet, the Death Star Additionally, they were able to install more efficient carbonite chillers is a spherical, 2.3 quadrillion square for temperature control and smart gravity and atmosphere systems foot mobile battle station, described throughout the facility to allow for remote monitoring and control, as by employees as a “technological well as advanced scheduling and setback capabilities. terror.” “The Emperor will be most pleased with our progress,” says Grand Moff Since the fall of the Republic and Tarkin, the Death Star’s commanding officer. “Working with EnergyPrint the Death Star’s construction, the has been a success on almost all counts. They were even able to break Empire has been tracking its utility down demand charges for us.
