When developing UtilityRecon®, EnterScape™ made the decision to provide the client with the ability to analyze and monitor utility data across channels, facilities, and time using a simple intuitive interface. Unlike many reporting software solutions, our goal was not to simply create a dashboard-style graphical output; we wanted to provide the customer with the greatest value from their utility data, i.e. actionable data!

Abbreviated Listing of Functionality and Benefits:

• Multiple User Access Levels
• Easy to set-up tenant/department sub-metering
• User-defined Daily Exception Reports and Alarms (emails/text messages)
• Calculated channels provide the user the ability to create user-defined data streams based on real data channels, e.g. kWh/sqft
• Graphical reports are automatically generated and can be easily modified using Excel
• Modeling of HVAC systems using various ambient condition parameters (temperature, humidity ratio, etc.) as a predictor for energy consumption
• Secure data storage that utilizes customer specific databases

The benefits to the customer include:

• Continuous monitoring of utility consumption on a sub-meter level
• Sub-metering of utilities for allocation of expenses to tenants or departments
• An in-depth understanding of peak power and the contributing loads
• User-defined alerts and exception reports (emails/text messages) keep you informed about the status of your facility
• Independent verification of equipment status and utilization – “sits on top of existing facility controls”
• Reduced installation expenses (wireless)
• The ability to view a single or multiple facilities using a single consolidated source for utility data
• Identification of opportunities (specific $ impact) of shifting loads to reduce peak demand fees
• Identification of equipment, which may be contributing to or impacted by reduced Power Factor
• Determination of the portion of utilities that is utilized for manufacturing and therefore not subject to sales tax
• Increased employee customer awareness utilizing customized continuously updating dashboards, which can be displayed on any PC screen/display
• The addition of monitoring may make you eligible for the Energy Efficient Commercial Building Tax Deduction – Section 179D.
