Performance metrics are automatically calculated using a powerful analytics engine that enables users to analyze monthly and annual performance trends across meters, spaces, properties, and portfolios.

Performance Metrics

The following section outlines the way monthly and annual performance metrics are calculated. The diagram below shows how data is rolled up from meters associated to a specific space type to provide higher-level performance insights. Group 1000002828 (2)

Methodology

1

All energy meters associated with a space type are collected

  • For whole building performance metrics all in-metric meters are used.
2

Meter consumption is normalized into common units & calendar months

Consumption entries between meter activation & deactivation dates and property buy and sell dates are broken down and reconstituted into monthly values for each meter. Data outside of these boundaries is ignored.
For bulk delivery energy meters (e.g. Fuel Oil), all energy associated with the entry is attributed to the month in which the fuel was delivered.
3

Monthly consumption values are aggregated by meter type & subtype

Meters are grouped by subtype and higher-level types, to enable performance metrics at multiple resolutions.
SubtypeType
ElectricElectric
Electric on Site SolarElectric
Electric on Site WindElectric
Natural GasFuel
DieselFuel
Fuel Oil No 1,2,4,5,6Fuel
District SteamDHC
District Hot WaterDHC
District Chilled WaterDHC
4

Monthly consumption data is aggregated over rolling 12-month periods

For every meter type and subtype, monthly normalized values are rolled up to provide monthly & annual metrics for every possible 12-month reporting period.
5

Values are further rolled up into portfolio-level insights.

Monthly and annual consumption values are aggregated across all properties to enable portfolio-level views.

Tracking Performance Metrics

Users can analyze energy performance across meters, properties and portfolios.
