Energy Monitoring

Serious Energy Manager organizes all of the data streaming from today’s extensively connected and metered building infrastructure into a whole-building information store. Its advanced data collector normalizes the data for easy manipulation. It can gather data from meters (including water and gas), sub-meters, gateways, and load/generation devices, maintaining associations to building zone, subsystem, whole building, or a multiple-building portfolio or campus.

Savings Opportunity Reporting

View all the performance anomalies identified by platform analytics, automatically and in real-time. You get actionable energy improvement measures and related energy waste cost information at a glance. This is insight beyond traditional Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD) software; you can compare the cost impact of each fault occurring anywhere, at any time, across a building portfolio. The status of each listed fault is also prioritized on the one-screen view, providing convenient support to a Facilities Manager systematically working through the issues.

See a brief video tutorial.

Key Performance Indicator Reporting

Build a custom performance report based on the key performance indicators (KPI’s) of your choice. Easily track portfolio totals for KPI’s like electricity usage, peak demand, energy costs. Or get granular—choose from approximately 60 predefined KPIs. Drill down to a specific time period (month or year), specific subsystem (HVAC, Lighting, Plug Loads), or particular physical space (data centers, floors, and building zones). Explore relationships between KPIs, such as electrical load against square footage or peak demand on Cooling Degree Days versus Heating Degree Days. Create powerful visuals for communicating about the scenario-specific nuance of your building's energy performance.

Spectral Analysis

Sift through months of real-time meter data acquired over a 24/7 schedule in a glance.  Graphically visualize power usage over a select period, without getting lost in the data.  Every point on these easily interpreted graphs represents energy usage for a 15-minute interval. No detail about why and when your building is wasting energy is lost.

EPA Benchmarking

Automate your EPA Energy Star benchmarking through SeriousEnergy Manager to gain greater visibility, precision and granularity. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Portfolio Manager is fast becoming the defacto standard in building rating systems.Your building's Energy Star score is a key factor  determining property value and rents. So it's vital to keep your submitted energy profile accurate and up-to-date and to constantly measure progress toward improvement.

Customizable Dashboard

Select from a rich widget library to configure a dashboard that delivers direct, powerful insight in the business terms most familiar to your role and interests. If you're managing facilities operations, you'll be glad to have our Savings Opportunity Reports at your fingertips. If you're managing building finances, you will appreciate real-time updates on energy usage via Billing Month-to-Date (BMTD) Cost, BMTD Energy Cost, Month-to-Month Cost Comparison and Cost Projection widgets. Of greater interest to a Director of Sustainability are widgets that show results for EPA Benchmark, Today’s Carbon Performance, Month-to-Date (MTD) Water and MTD Gas.

Trending

Look at energy demand (kW) against outside air temperture or at energy intensity (kW against square footage) — you choose the building assets of interest, the variable and the time period (day, week, month, year, billing-month-to-date). Identify anomalies at a high level, then continue to explore the scope of the situation and the root causes in more granular KPI visualizations and Savings Opportunity Reports for specific Fault Detection & Diagnosis.

Cost Analysis

Quickly determine the areas of highest energy consumption and costs.  Know where to focus limited energy conservation measures dollars to have the most impact. Drill down to identify your most costly buildings, floors, tenant areas and equipment. View energy costs per time of use—peak, partial peak, off-peak.  

Budgeting and Chargebacks

Set the budget for a particular building, tenant area, or for the entire building portfolio.  Easily track forecasted versus actual energy usage. Accurately account for and chargeback energy usage to a specific department, group or tenant.
