by Shane Henson — June 19, 2013—Comverge Inc., provider of a comprehensive suite of intelligent energy management solutions, recently announced the release of its Energy Navigator portal, a cloud-based energy management portal for organizations.
According to Comverge, Energy Navigator provides organizations across a range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, education and retail, with quick and easy access to granular and actionable data on energy consumption, giving facilities managers the information they need to drive down their energy costs. In addition, by accurately calculating energy consumption, Energy Navigator helps organizations maximize participation in a broad range of demand response programs.
Accessible from anywhere and at any time through a Web browser, the cloud-based Energy Navigator provides flexible visualization, charting and navigation of meter data. The new portal also simplifies data collection for facilities managers by providing a range of options, including integrated near real-time metering, meter data collection directly from distribution utilities, and integration with numerous legacy data collection systems. Furthermore, built-in proactive alerts deliver insights into energy usage inefficiencies or anomalies.
With Energy Navigator, organizations can quickly and easily:
- Compare historical and current data: Allows organizations to benchmark energy consumption levels and analyze the impact of changes such as efficiency retrofit, process modifications or weather fluctuations.
- Compare meter data series: Helps organizations monitor a broad range of load performance and conduct gap analysis to identify areas for savings.
- Aggregate meter data: Consolidates multi-location meter data into one easy-to-view, intuitive portal.
- Calculate and visualize baselines: Visibility into baseline energy levels helps identify demand and energy reduction opportunities by supporting an organization’s participation in demand response programs. In addition, Energy Navigator integrates real-time and forecasted data from PJM Interconnection, which helps organizations understand the cost of energy and the potential opportunity of participating in demand response programs.
- Run telemetry reporting and extracts: Enables organizations to match their energy management program to specific business needs by using raw meter data to perform custom analysis of demand and energy consumption.
