EnergyCAP 2.8.0 Released with Exciting New Features
09/07/11 at 04:17 PMCalendarization and Normalization
A major new feature of EnergyCAP 2.8.0 is the added ability to see your utility bills in two new ways. Until now, there was one set of PowerViews showing the actual utility bill data at each level of your organization. Now, EnergyCAP can also calendarize this data automatically using smart weather regression to give a more realistic view of your usage and cost for weather sensative meters.
Additionally, these same bills can be normalized so to compare the year-over-year data on an apples-to-apples basis. In normalizing data, EnergyCAP substitutes a common year of weather data for all years of bills to allow you to answer the question, "What would my usage have been like if the weather was exactly the same in all years?" This enables you to quickly and easily see if your energy management efforts are making a difference when weather sensitivity is removed from the equation.

Energy Project Tracking
We've also added the ability to track your energy projects at a building level. The projects are marked on our Energy Trend Chart (found under the "Normalized Data" tab) so that you can see if the projects have made a difference in energy intensity over time. Energy Projects can be found under the new tab "Building Properties". For more information on projects, please see the "Calendarized & Normalized" Help pages on the home screen.
