Energy Dashboards and Analysis Tools

Executive Energy Dashboards

Creating and maintaining support for major energy and sustainability initiatives requires good communication with executive sponsors.  An Executive Energy Dashboard will help keep your sponsors informed about your organization's goals and achievements.

Cimetrics can create and maintain a custom dashboard for your organization's executives.  An Executive Energy Dashboard can include the following:

• Energy expenditures, actual vs. budget
• Progress toward achieving energy efficiency and sustainability goals
• Facility energy performance metrics
• Custom content

Cimetrics dashboards are powered by the same proven infrastructure used in our Infometrics and Metermetrics products.

Energy Kiosks and Public Displays – Share Your Success

Many organizations want to publicize their energy conservation and sustainability efforts to facility users and the general public.  Cimetrics will custom-develop a web site or kiosk display for your building or organization.  Built on the Metermetrics platform, your kiosk site provides a simplified, graphical and easy-to-navigate view into your organization's sustainability goals and achievements.

• Present energy consumption compared with savings goals, expressed in everyday units.
• Each display can be customized for a particular stakeholder group.
• Include custom content (RSS feeds or your own text and images) to describe your plans and successes or to share "green" tips.

Infometrics Online – Your Window to Infometrics Savings

Metermetrics - An Energy Information System

Metermetrics is a new product for energy managers and facility managers that want to improve their organization's energy efficiency and lower energy costs.

What is an Energy Information System?

An Energy Information System (EIS) collects data from meters, processes the data into information, and displays the energy information for energy managers and facility managers.  This information enables:

• Top-down analysis of the energy performance of facilities and processes
• An understanding of energy consumption patterns
• Baselining and benchmarking of facility energy consumption
• Budgeting and cost allocation

A typical Energy Infomation System consists of the following components:

• Interval meters
• Data acquisition hardware
• Communication hardware and software
• Database system
• Analytical and visualization software
• Web server

Metermetrics Benefits and Features

Metermetrics helps you manage and track energy consumption by building, campus and commodity, down to the level of individual meters.  You can view current readings as easily as querying years of historic data.  Data can be summarized across locations and by timescale.

• You can rank buildings and meters under a variety of conditions and drill down to identify opportunities for action.
• You can monitor the effectiveness of your conservation efforts.  It is easy to export before and after readings for your Measurement and Verification processes and utility rebate applications
• You can anticipate and avoid consumption peaks.  Demand profile views help you understand your typical and design-day energy usage to inform your demand response plan.

Multiple users can access your data via a secure web interface.  A wide variety of graphs, tables and gauges are available for presenting your data.  Data views are updated in real time.  Raw readings can be viewed as easily as performance metrics.  User configurable dashboards provide quick access to common data views.  You can export current and historic data for offline analysis using tools such as Microsoft Excel.
