Energy Strategy Series, part 1: Building the energy data foundation—Where to start and what matters most

A strong energy strategy starts with the right data—but knowing what to collect, how much to collect, and how to manage it isn’t always clear.

In the first session of our Energy Strategy Webinar Series, a panel discussion focuses on how organizations can build a solid foundational energy data layer. The conversation covers where to start, which utility and building data matters most, and how organizations typically manage bills, providers, and usage information.

Panelists share practical guidance on collecting and tracking utility data, understanding common bill components and units of measure, incorporating demand and interval data, and identifying where the earliest cost-saving opportunities are often found. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to establish an energy data foundation that supports better visibility, accuracy, and decision-making moving forward.
