Energy Management Solutions

Are rising energy costs putting a squeeze on your budget?  For many facilities, energy expenditures represent a significant, yet often unknown cost savings opportunity.  The challenge is finding a platform that can accurately gather the appropriate data for analysis.

In addition to managing costs, many organizations are concerned with tracking “green” initiatives.  Such efforts require heightened levels of reporting and accountability. Finding a simple, yet effective web-native solution to manage these objectives is extremely important.

FacilityDude to the rescue!  With FacilityDude’s new UtilityTrac Plus web app, you now have the tools necessary to manage both energy costs and green initiatives.  UtilityTrac is easy to use and provides a snapshot of utility cost and consumption.  Like all of FacilityDude’s products, we designed this solution to fit both small and large organizational needs. 

Utility Bill Dashboard

The Challenge

In a perfect world, utility bills would be as predictable as the sun rising and setting each day.  However, in the real world, you know that energy costs can fluctuate significantly, depending on countless variables such as weather, usage, and rate increases.  Without diligent analysis of your energy expenditures, you may miss opportunities for rebates, lower utility costs, and energy conservation measures.

The Solution

Use UtilityTrac Plus as a convenient dashboard to stay on top of your utility bills each month.  UtilityTrac Plus organizes your utility data in a concise way, which audits and highlights potential issues before they get out of control.  In addition, set automatic alert notifications to bring visibility to any significant fluctuations or changes in patterns.  Your utility data is too important to track on a spreadsheet – UtilityTrac Plus makes the process easy! 

 

Greenhouse Gas Tracking

The Challenge

Over the past few years, many facilities have become more socially conscious by implementing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  Although companies are usually aware of steps they can take to reduce emissions, many organizations struggle with an effective way to track and measure such an ambitious program. 

The Solution

Thanks to FacilityDude’s UtilityTrac Plus web application, tracking greenhouse emissions has never been easier.  This innovative tool automatically runs advanced calculations and plots your greenhouse gas footprint into meaningful charts and reports.  UtilityTrac Plus allows you to stay focused on moving your green initiatives forward, rather than building manual reports.   

 

ENERGY STAR Metrics

The Challenge

Familiar to many facility managers, the ENERGY STAR Challenge is a national call-to-action program focused on improving the energy efficiency of commercial and industrial buildings.  Participating in this requires dedication to detailed guidelines set forth by governing bodies, thus yielding excess paperwork and metric tracking needs.       

The Solution

UtilityTrac Plus interfaces with the EPA's systems to record the energy use of your buildings and to retrieve the correlated ENERGY STAR ratings.  Such an automated system reduces your team’s administrative obligations, which, in turn, saves money through improved productivity.   

 

LEED Benchmark Tracking

The Challenge

In addition to the ENERGY STAR program, many organizations also choose to participate in the technically rigorous LEED process.   In doing so, they demonstrate their dedication to environmental stewardship.  However, like ENERGY STAR, LEED requires a proven system to track all of the additional documentation and benchmark achievements.   

The Solution

UtilityTrac Plus is your proven resource to track the consumption and conservation efforts implemented by your organization to assist you in achieving LEED certification.  UtilityTrac Plus provides your team a simple, yet dynamic tool to manage the many benchmarks and programs related to the LEED effort
