Energy Intelligence to Make Informed Decisions
The first step in making an informed decision, is having the required information. This is as true with energy management as it is with any of your other business decisions.
Direct Energy Business Services is ideally suited to help. We have different options to help you dive deep into your energy consumption at an individual site or to make comparisons across a portfolio of buildings.
Building Energy Performance Index (BEPI)
Rank your buildings against peer properties inside your organization or against the industry.
BEPI strives to provide best-in-class performance comparisons across multiple buildings. It is the total annual energy usage measured against the size of the facility—sort of like the average gas mileage of your car.
First, it allows you to construct a base year for energy use. It is a critical tool when comparing year-over-year results—or when beginning an energy-efficiency project—because you can track and monitor its performance.
Additionally, you can use the BEPI results to compare one building against another. This creates an opportunity to identify problem areas and optimize performance across your portfolio of sites. It can also help create a strategy to justify long-term capital expenditures.
Other benefits include:
- Web-based access
- Weather normalization—compare multiple buildings on an equal footing
- Accurate values for energy cost or use per square foot
- Customized reports
- Cost and maintenance progress tracking
- Flag potential problems early
Delve deeper into your building with a web based profile of when you are using energy throughout the day, month and year. Useful information to improve operations, prioritize investments and purchase energy contracts.
