Generac's Multifamily Energy Role Takes Center Stage with Ecobee's SmartBuildings API

Ecobee has expanded its SmartBuildings platform with a new API for multifamily property operators, focusing on smarter energy use and HVAC control. This move highlights the evolution of connected energy solutions for large property portfolios, potentially impacting Generac Holdings' competitive position in the smart building and energy management space. Generac's business touches backup power, energy management, and residential and commercial customers, so integrating with building platforms, working with property managers, or focusing on whole-building energy resilience may become increasingly important.
