About Energy Manager

Energy Manager by Brightly Software is the smarter, easier-to-use energy management solution designed for facilities managers to manage utilities, reduce waste, and reinvest in energy efficiency where it matters most. Now a Siemens company, Brightly's cloud-based solution collects, digitizes, and consolidates a building's utility data, allowing teams to quickly and confidently identify billing errors and underperforming buildings - delivering real operational savings. This digitized and centralized approach helps facilities and operators make data-driven decisions and investment recommendations with real-time data, reports, and charts.

Pros:

The ease of use is probably the best thing. It does give you a good yearly look at your cost for energy.

Cons:

Some questions seem like they are needed, but you have to answer in order to move on.

Reasons for choosing Energy Manager

We are using several items from facility dude. They are easy to use and learn.

Pros:

Upon receiving the software we were able to input data from utility bills over the prior 3 years and create benchmarks allowing us to take advantage of all the reports and energy trends. We were able to show the savings from upgrades for things such as LED lighting , new more efficient HVAC units, building controls and many others changes. We are now able to see the areas that need our attention based on the positive differences these changes made.

Cons:

I can thing of nothing that I am not pleased with.

Energy Manager

I am able to notify maintenance of problems with water leaks etc... This is the point in which we have found that our solar panels are not working. This is a tool that can be used by the schools to educate students on energy and energy management.

Pros:

I believe once the product is set up the way it needs to be, I will love the reports that I have been wanting to get for years.

Cons:

The set up has been the least attractive thing about this system however, the information that will be available once established will be far greater than the old system. Because of the complexity of our invoicing with roof top solar and a solar garden we are not able to utilize the auto invoice upload each month. Even though I need to enter each account manually, it is an easy and user friendly software.

Quality Product for Tracking Energy Usage

The Energy Manager program is invaluable in showing trends and energy usage over many months or even years. This provides the data i need to validate my requests during budget hearings.

Pros:

The Energy Manager program provides all the data i need to keep track of energy usage for all of my buildings. The data is easily accessable and can provide a instant snapshot of how our buildings are performing.

Cons:

The only issues i have encountered with Energy Manager are with some of the reports. Sometimes i end up with way more information on a report than needed and toher times its not enough. I have to say also, that this could be totally caused by my lack of knowlege. Customer support is always spot on and I'm sure they would help me in anyway to extract the data i need.

Functionality

Pros:

ability to track and report on energy usage separate from energy cost automatic loading of utility bills from vendor web sites Reporting

Cons:

Need additional categorization of bills for comparison - for instance main building vs. modular classrooms or to compare athletic facilities only and not include the instructional portions of the property.

Reasons for switching to Energy Manager

the older Utility Direct did not provide the reporting and validation of bills that Energy Manager provides.

Easy to use once I realized that I had to enter every thing that is a choice in a drop down menu.

There are almost too many things to learn and I've got so many other things to do that don't require SchoolDude or Energy Manager. I'm part time so I literally don't have time to use everything the programs have to offer.

Reasons for choosing Energy Manager

I liked that this product was part of Dude Solutions and thought that having the same vendor for other applications would be beneficial. My hope is that when I eventually leave the institution that this system will be easy enough to use and worthwhile to continue using.
