Optimal utility data management strategy
Utility expense management services that improve data collection efficiency, improve energy reporting, and reduce costs.
Organizations that have large energy and utility expenses, high volumes of monthly utility invoices, and or have multiple tenants where cost need to be allocated and recovered, require a comprehensive approach to utility expense management. Components of an optimal utility data management strategy can include:
- Centralizing collection of utility invoice data into Hubgrade to streamline processing, validate invoices for errors, and organize invoices by cost center
- Monitoring utility sub-meter data to provide tenants and owners with more accurate and transparent bills and usage data — accessible anywhere at anytime
- Real-time monitoring of major energy-consuming assets to understand consumption patterns and identify opportunities to reduce consumption on demand
- Benchmarking usage and cost data to inform energy budget and purchasing decisions
