Creating Opportunities for VEPGA Members to Measure, Manage,
Save
Slide 2
Utility bill tracking, analysis, and reporting is the
foundation of energy efficiency activities. Ten value streams save
you energy, money, time and reduce carbon emissions.
Interfaces with expense accounts payable Reduces your utility
bill A/P costs Import bills via EDI 810 or Excel formats VALUE 2:
Rapid & accurate utility bill payment
Slide 5
Customer Choice and Direct Access programs save money by
allowing you to select the lowest- cost suppliers, generators, and
producers, but it requires accurate and current energy use data.
VALUE 3: Make wise energy procurement decisions
Slide 6
Creating cost allocation and chargeback bills is complex. You
need a single tool for tracking purchased utility bills and
creating chargeback bills using submeter readings, virtual
accounts, or percent splits. VALUE 4: Shared facility cost
allocation, chargebacks, rebilling
Slide 7
Most budgeting processes lack detailed meter-level data, so
accuracy suffers. Meter-by-meter and month-by-month budgets mean
less guesswork and fewer fiscal emergencies. VALUE 5: Create
accurate budgets
Slide 8
You have thousands of switches and thermostats, yet the
occupants who control them have no motivation to conserve.
EnergyCAP reports create a sense of accountability. GreenQuest
gives your residents and your employees a free energy efficiency
website. VALUE 6: Motivate energy users to conserve
Slide 9
Benchmarks, trends, profiles, and comparisons help to identify
and correct inefficient facilities and control systems; great for
rate analysis. VALUE 7: Quickly identify outliers with benchmarks
and analytics
Slide 10
Carbon tracking begins with energy tracking. There is a growing
need for voluntary GHG disclosure reporting, as well as mandatory
disclosure of commercial building energy and emissions at the state
and local levels. VALUE 8: Track greenhouse gas emissions and
credits
Slide 11
Performance Contracting is the preferred method for energy
retrofit projects, but not without accurate and timely cost
avoidance reports. EnergyCAP has been used since 1985 for
performance contracting savings calculations on thousands of
buildings. ENERGY STAR ratings offer excellent PR value as well as
impartial assessment of efficiency. VALUE 9: Measure and verify
energy savings; Easily obtain ENERGY STAR ratings
Slide 12
We have a 20-year history with AccuWeather. AccuWeather
provides daily downloads of historical and future degree days to
EnergyCAP users. Charts are calendarized and normalized (v2.8).
VALUE 9.5: Usage vs. degree days; weather- normalized reporting is
more accurate
Slide 13
There are essential business processes that rely on accurate
and timely energy information. Improve energy-related accounting
and overall cost management. Save valuable accounting and
management time. VALUE 10: Improve accounting, accruals,
management
Slide 14
EnergyCAP often pays for itself in under 12 months. "After two
years of experience, we have paid for the system two times through
identified utility savings. David Godfrey, State Utilities Program
Manager, Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority "We were able
to find a $90,000 billing error - thanks to the new EnergyCAP
softwareBEFORE the paper bill was even opened. Keith Roberts, P.E.,
LEED AP, City Energy Manager, City of Sacramento Within the first
year EnergyCAP almost paid for itself in energy savings. Kelly
Winnett, University of Alabama at Birmingham A Smart
Investment
Slide 15

over 30 years. We provide implementation, bill processing,
training, and support services.
