Portfolio Manager
Are you an owner of multitenant buildings? The Council for the City of New Orleans passed a series of resolutions to allow owners with four or more meters to obtain aggregated, anonymized energy usage date for such buildings from Entergy New Orleans without first obtaining written permission of each individual account holder or tenant. We created an automated solution to aggregate and transmit usage data to the Energy Star Portfolio Manager.
Portfolio Manager is an interactive resource management tool that enables you to track and assess energy and water use across your entire portfolio of buildings. Based on the aggregated usage data and the characteristics of the building, Portfolio Manager will calculate your building’s Energy Star score. In addition, Portfolio Manager will also allow you to generate Energy Star performance documents for your building that will help you to analyze and monitor your building’s energy consumption.
