Kimco Realty Corporation is the owner and operator of more than 500 open-air shopping centers across the United States. Headquartered in New Hyde Park, New York, as of September 30, 2016, the company owned interests in 534 U.S shopping centers comprising 86 million square feet of leasable space across 35 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. In 2015 Kimco selected EMS as the sole vendor responsible for a national metering project to survey all shopping center utilities and install a single automated metering system to monitor every tenant's utility usage. Once complete, EMS will have installed or replaced meters in every one of Kimco's centers and will be posting hourly meter reading data to its web portal.

Project: Avenir On Fifteenth
Scully Company's beautiful multi-family renovation of this former 150,000 sf office building included EMS's EMStat wifi thermostats for residential and retail spaces. The EMStat is both a smart meter and a building amenity. Giving residents and management the ability to set schedules and control temperatures remotely via their computer, tablet or smartphone adds comfort and saves money. The EMStat also accurately meters the HVAC runtime to allow management to fairly charge residents for their individual HVAC usage.
Project: Divine Lorraine, Philadelphia PA
Designed by architect Willis G. Hale and built between 1892 and 1894, the building originally functioned as apartments for some of Philadelphia's wealthy residents. Lorraine Apartments was one of the most luxurious and best preserved late 19th-century apartment houses in Philadelphia. In 1900 the building became the Lorraine Hotel when the Metropolitan Hotel Company purchased the apartments. Later it would become the first hotel in Philadelphia to be racially integrated under Father Divine. The hotel was abandoned and left to deteriorate, with graffiti all over the walls, broken windows, and crumbling stone. On September 16, 2015, a massive renovation project was begun by Eric Blumenfeld. EMS continues it long partnership with EB Realty Management by providing The Divine Lorraine with submeters and billing services for the domestic water and electricity.
