In a public weekly note bearing the issue date August 21, 2026, KiWi founder Steve Huang said the team was moving the Louisa 17-store energy-efficiency demonstration toward execution. The planned scope included 34 digital meters, 90 air-conditioning control modules and an AI-EMS system.

The work emphasized site surveys, 15-minute data collection, missing-data handling, baselines, control testing, connection-loss protection and manual overrides. The objective was to create measurement and verification practices that could be reused at subsequent locations.

This is a historical account of the announced execution scope. It does not establish that all 17 stores had completed installation or acceptance, or that a specific energy-saving result had been achieved.
