Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you quantify how many SmartGATE units might be installed in each building managed by the GSA, assuming approval? Would it be one or two per building or more for buildings with a footprint exceeding 50,000 square feet? A: The number of SmartGATE units depends on the building size and the number of electrical feeds. For example, a large building like the Federal Triangle with over a million square feet has more than 30 electrical feeds, each a potential SmartGATE opportunity. Smaller facilities may need one to two units, while larger ones could require dozens.
