BENCHMATA is an advanced system that can help utility companies, municipalities, local and state governments, and energy billing companies to automatically benchmark their customer's energy usage in ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager.
Description | It is the first commercially available system powerful enough to automate any organization's energy benchmarking needs. Software can put your organization on the fast track for bulk benchmarking of your customers in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. It helps in accomplishing ESP’s goal to provide benchmarking of energy data on a bigger scale. It helps organizations create processes for automatic authentication of customers using custom id values. The system provided a powerful GUI to allow a user to create customer, building, meter, and space data and all related attributes in a straight forward manner. Even if an organization is small and you don't have automatic data feeds, you can still benefit from the BENCHMATA system. The system has a built-in table where you can enter your customers meter usage data and directly upload to ENERGY STAR and receive a rating in return. It provides the capability to read and store usage data from Excel (if provided), making it very easy. Now you can plot your customer’s building reports and other data received from ENERGY STAR directly on GOOGLE MAPS, using built-in satellite imagery. The system provides advance benchmarking reports and search criteria. Now you can see how many customers have what scores and track their carbon greenhouse gas emissions. The system has its own database. This is the first ever advanced system to put ENERGY STAR Benchmarking within reach of many utilities ESP's / municipalities, state and local governments. The system works with modern RDBMS like Oracle but with few modifications. It can be configured with your legacy systems or can act alone as a standalone system.
