OpenADR 3 Training by QualityLogic
Develop the expertise you need to implement and optimize the latest Demand Response standard with expert-led instruction tailored to your company’s goals.
Stay Ahead with the Latest in Demand Response Technology
The global energy landscape is rapidly changing, and Demand Response (DR) is more critical than ever in ensuring grid stability and energy efficiency. OpenADR 3 is the next-generation standard designed to modernize DR programs, lower the cost of adoption, and expand support for IoT and consumer-driven energy management.
That’s why we partnered with a key contributor to OpenADR 3, Frank Sandoval, to develop a new workshop for this updated protocol. Over the course of your online or on-site sessions, Frank will guide you through this essential training program, giving you the knowledge and tools to implement and leverage OpenADR 3 effectively.
