Conservation & Renewal

The Conservation and Renewal module is unique to ManagingEnergy and truly separates it from pure Energy Accounting applications. The details around conservation opportunities enable users to make fully informed conservation decisions.  Rather than making decisions based on capital cost or gut instinct, users of ManagingEnergy evaluate energy conservation opportunities based on solid information such as:

• Input from engineering feasibility studies
• Life cycle return on investment (net present value)
• Biggest contributors to GHG emissions
• Long term strategy
• Convenient opportunities
• Future usage
• Predicted or anticipated tariff changes
• Corporate objectives
• Facility-Specific (Production) Variables

Target Usage Profiles overlay conservation targets on the baseline, normalized for weather and facility variables so you can demonstrate energy performance quickly and confidently.

Investment Scenarios provide a simple way to plan an energy conservation program by grouping individual opportunities.  Prioritize and sequence the work based on budgets, availability of capital, and corporate objectives.

Baseline Adjustments.  Buildings tend to change over time, in ways that influence energy use but are outside of the control of the energy management team.  Baseline adjustments provide a way to correct for those changes to keep your energy reporting fair and valid.
