Legend Power Systems announced it has agreed to provide SmartGATE Systems to the United States General Services Administration (GSA) for evaluation as part of GSA's Green Proving Ground program. GSA operates approximately 1,800 federally owned buildings. The Green Proving Ground program leverages GSA's real estate portfolio to evaluate innovative building technologies.

The program aims to drive down operational costs in federal buildings and help lead market transformation through the deployment of new technologies. GSA selected eight technologies to evaluate as part of this year's program, including the SmartGATE Systems technology offered by Legend Power Systems. Under the program, GSA will work with the U.S. Department of Energy's Oakridge National Laboratory to validate the technology and conduct measurement and verification. Oak Ridge Labs is widely recognized for its technical leadership and expertise in building level energy efficiency.

Under the agreement, Legend Power Systems will provide multiple SmartGATES to demonstrate the full capabilities and energy savings of the SmartGATE Platform. The purpose of the program is to aid in the development of specifications and standards for GSA's real estate portfolio.
