Questions Answered
With internal and external pressures for building owners and operators to reduce costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, building energy and water performance management is as important as ever. The Efficiate UIS answers key questions about your buildings to help building operators stay ahead.
- How much did I spend last quarter?
- Who are my good and poor performing properties?
- What portion of my usage is weather-driven versus operational?
- Are energy efficiency measures working?
- How much carbon emissions do my buildings emit?
- How can I meet my external compliance reporting requirements?
Insights Delivered
- Competitiveness Scoring - Quickly identify your good and poor performing assets. Our Efficiate Score compares your building’s efficiency to its North American peers in an apples-to-apples comparison so you know which assets are rock stars, and which could use some attention. These insights are driven by machine learning (ML) models that account for the building’s unique operating conditions, physical attributes, and weather and climate.
- Time-series Trends - Understand your past energy and water use and expenses so you can plan future budgets. Compare periods equally with weather normalization. Gain powerful insights and visuals of how weather and operational changes are impacting building use and cost.
- Savings Potential - See how much your building could save through actions that reduce building energy use. Our energy and water conservation measure (ECM, WCM) calculator provides a list of measures to improve building efficiency.
- Measurement and Verification - Visualize the results of pursued energy and water efficiency projects. Our regression models establish an operational baseline that allows savings from pursued measures to be accurately calculated.
Data Engineering at its Foundation
The UIS takes care of the hard data tasks behind the scenes. We audit, process, and aggregate use and cost data to ensure accuracy and ease of understanding.
- Audited utility data - We quality control the meter level utility data we collect through a series of numeric and logic audits.
- Processed utility data - We calendarize and normalize your data to enhance accuracy and enable period-to-period comparisons.
- Aggregated property data - We aggregate all the meter data for electricity, natural gas, and water to the building level.
