Energy CAP Online Benefits - 10 Ways to Save!
1. Eliminate Billing Errors
Utility companies aren’t perfect – mistakes happen. Our energy efficiency software recently spotted an $873,000 over billing that resulted in a one million dollar refund!
2. Fast Processing of Utility Invoices.
National chains and large property managers who receive thousands of monthly utility invoices use energy software to rapidly process bills via manual entry and EDI. While bill payment outsourcers charge $4 and up per bill, Energy CAP can do it for under $2. One retailer saves $380,000 a year through in-house bill processing and payment!
3. Make Wise Energy Purchase Decisions
“Customer Choice” programs save money by letting you select the lowest-cost vendors, generators and producers….but it requires accurate and current energy use data. Energy CAP gives you the power of information to make the best choices!
4. Submetering, Cost Allocation and Re-Billing
Managing the cost accounting for a large university-owned utility system is a complex and difficult task. Energy CAP gives you a single tool for submeter readings, “virtual accounts,” application of tariffs, cost allocation and reporting.
5. Uncover Account Ownership Errors
Are you really paying for just your own utility accounts? It sounds simple enough, yet large organizations often find they’re still paying for former leased space. One hospital chain didn’t notice a $15,000 error for eight years!
6. Motivate Occupants to Conserve.
Your dilemma – you have thousands of switches and thermostats, yet the occupants who control them have no motivation to conserve. Energy CAP reports show that energy reduction is important…and that you’re monitoring energy conservation activities.
7. Identify Inefficient Facilities and Spot Leaks.
It’s been said, “You can’t manage what you can’t see.” Energy CAP’s benchmarks, trends, profiles and comparisons help you to identify and correct inefficient facilities. Hidden energy and water leaks will be unmasked!
8. Pinpoint Building Control Problems with Electricity 15-Minute Interval
Data Charts.
Energy efficiency software showed a building owner that heat pumps were inefficiently cycling on and off during nighttime hours.
9. Perform Energy Savings Measurement & Verification.
Performance Contracting is the preferred method for energy retrofit projects, but not without accurate and timely “cost avoidance” reports. Good Steward Software pioneered cost avoidance calculations!
10. Improve Budgeting, Accruals, Accounting.
Energy CAP’s new budget and accrual features save time and money on the tricky and often time-consuming tasks of utilities cost accounting and management.
