EnerVisor Software

Ecom-Energy’s dedicated EnerVisor Software team regularly collects your facility’s utility and supplier invoices to enter billing data. We work extensively with utilities and suppliers to collect data and ensure, if possible, no extra workload for the facility.

Utility bills provide the necessary energy data to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) Scope 2 indirect emissions. Our EnerVisor Software automatically calculates your organization’s carbon footprint and reports on GHG emissions resulting from energy use. You’ll be equipped to provide a comprehensive GHG reporting framework to satisfy legislative and policy mandates.

EnerVisor Software syncs seamlessly with ENERGY STAR®’s Portfolio Manager. By scoring your facilities, you’ll join more than half of the largest United States healthcare organizations determined to understand and reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. As a certified ENERGY STAR® partner, Ecom-Energy validates and optimizes parameters to ensure the most accurate ENERGY STAR® score available.

Energy to Care is a healthcare-specific benchmarking and awards program that gives hospitals the opportunity to compare energy reduction efforts to those of similar, nearby facilities. Ecom-Energy provides its EnerVisor Software users with an Energy to Care membership so that they may be recognized for their efforts toward energy excellence. Ecom-Energy will automatically enter your facilities into ASHE’s annual Chapter Challenge.

As the prevalence of energy benchmarking and public disclosure programs increase throughout the United States, EnerVisor Software eases the burden of regulatory compliance. In California, for example, healthcare facilities face statewide AB-802 requirements, while also dealing with local ordinances from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Berkeley. The trend is seen elsewhere in regions like St. Louis, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Colorado, Portland, and beyond.

Ecom-Energy’s EnerVisor Software team manages the compliance process and ensures your healthcare system stays compliant with all benchmarking mandates.

Normalization is the only way to truly compare year-to-year usage. Normalization accounts for weather and through EnerVisor Software adjusts weather-sensitive meters to reflect the degree days in the user-selected weather normalization year. The result is an accurate comparison that tells the real picture of usage trends.

Both ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and EnerVisor Software give a clear picture of your building’s total energy cost and usage, broken out by commodity. Thanks to hundreds of reporting possibilities in EnerVisor Software, there are many unique ways to display these common metrics, including unit cost analyses.

How do you know if your utility bill data is correct? EnerVisor Software automatically audits bills to verify accuracy and identify problems.

Want to know every bill that comes in 10% higher in usage and/or cost than last month or last year? Audits will flag bills according to conditions you specify. Identify potential issues relating to unusual billing periods, abnormal use, cost, and demand fluctuations, meter reading errors, rate schedule issues, and actual vs. budget differences.

EnerVisor Software’s daily cost and usage tracking make interpreting your facility’s energy performance easier than ever. You’ll gain a clear understanding of today’s cost and use against this same time last year.

Comparing similar buildings and meters in EnerVisor Software enables you to spot opportunities for savings. Using these powerful data tools, you can rank and compare buildings and meters within peer groups based on the criteria you choose, such as building or meter primary usage, commodity, vendor, or rate. Once you’ve identified an outlier, it’s easy to prioritize energy conservation efforts.

Cost avoidance works by comparing current bills with a normalized baseline year. The normalization process automatically takes into account major variables including weather (degree days), billing period length, floor area changes and commodity price, and allows the analyst to enter adjustments for other changes such as occupancy, schedule, and equipment retrofits. This enables you to compare energy use and cost from year to year to get accurate savings data.

Common energy metrics are provided such as Energy Use Intensity (EUI), kBtu/square foot, costs per square foot, and unit costs. Other energy indicators can be customized for the internal reporting metrics that your facility values most.

Utility profiles are created for natural gas, power, and water. Profiling details monthly and annual usage for each utility and associates meters with their respective loads. You’ll gain a clear picture of each account and meter’s cost and consumption history.

While ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager captures basic monthly cost and usage, other key line items are left out. EnerVisor Software captures all line items to ensure maximum insight and reporting flexibility. You’ll gain new visibility about how your buildings use and consume energy. Best of all, data input and management is handled in-house by Ecom-Energy’s expert staff.

With Ecom-Energy’s EnerVisor Software, you’ll gain access to a customized dashboard containing your facility’s key energy metrics and other relevant details such as your organization’s ENERGY STAR score and quick access to your ASHE Energy to Care portal.
