by Shane Henson — October 28, 2011—A new tool that will allow facilities managers and other energy professionals to track either their building’s or their entire portfolio’s energy performance and to better manage and improve their efficiency has been released by Prenova, Inc., an enterprise energy management company. The company now offers Decision_Point, a key addition to the company’s cloud-based energy management suite.
