ENERGY INTELLIGENCE FOR PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

?

We harvest the insights within your

energy meter data….

…to deliverenergy intelligence

via ‘zero-touch’ analytics…

…to enable you to achieve energy savings and meet EISA 432, EO 13693 and

other regulatory targets at scale.

SUPPORT ALL BUILDINGS

$15,000 - $50,000 budget may be largely consumed by onsite audits….nothing left for EE implementation

Analytics can deliver audit, monitoring and compliance platform for 10-20% the cost of onsite audits

TIME-CONSUMING PROCESSES

Many months to contract, schedule & conduct just one onsite audit… FirstFuel audits completed in 2-4 hours

ORGANIZE & MANAGE EFFORTS

100s of non-standard paper audits, difficult to track across portfolio

Analytics approach captures results from all buildings, including offline results, in a standardized fashion

TRACK & REPORT PROGRESS

Cities must manually track overall progress including audits, implementation and actual savings

FirstFuel platform automatically aggregates results of all efficiency activity in one centralized repository

PRIORITIZE RESOURCES

Difficult to determine where to spend limited resources

FirstFuel’s screening capability targets biggest opportunities prior to conducting audits

IDENTIFY LOW-COST SAVINGS

Onsite audits miss low/no-cost operational savings – 50% of all potential savings

Analytics technology finds operational savings missed by on-site audits

DOD: USING ENERGY ANALYTICS TO MEET DIVERSE GOALS

DoD Objectives

• Diversity of building stock and geography• Cost of multiple metrics• Scalability on a timed time frame• Accuracy of recommendations

DoD Assessed Building Types

Headquarters, Classrooms

Barracks, Dining Facilities

Warehouses, Commissaries

“FirstFuel demonstrated a tremendous capability for the Department of Defense to use data analytics to meet it’s challenging energy auditing requirements that traditionally require much more time, money and manpower,”

–Dr. James Galvin, Former Program Manager- Energy and Water, ESTCP

Rec centers, auditoriums

Facilities with lighter process

loads

DOD: TOUCHLESS AUDITS FOR SPEED, EASE, AND ACCURACY

“The company’s unique approach to data analysis enabled us to save significant time and money, while yielding the same – if not better – results than traditional onsite audits.

- Dr. James Galvin, Former Program Manager- Energy and Water, ESTCP

Elapsed time of ~2 weeks compared to ~2-4 months with onsite audits

Building manager time commitment of <2 hours compared to >8 hours for onsite audits

• Utilize Investment in Smart Meters• Use Meter Data for Rapid Building Energy Audits• Tack Action on both Operational and Retrofit ECM’s• Report Using Energy Usage and Analysis System• Results put into EISA 432 Compliant Tracking System

GSA Objectives

“These three related initiatives – advanced metering, Rapid Building Energy Assessments and Energy Usage and Analysis System – resulted in energy intensity reductions of 9.3% and a savings of $27.3 million in FY 2013 as compared to FY 2011” – GSA as part of the FEWM Awards 2014
