Managing Energy data and use to make data driven decisions!

Our experience has been positive - we are finding the easy of getting data out of the program and reports with ease and now not having to do double entry with invoice loading and usage. Reports are easier than in the past and not having to use third party software to crest and populate. We are still determining our full usage - the customer service has been outstanding and professional. They are extremely knowledgable of their product but very helpful and the training is outstanding and on-going!

PROS

It was an module of our work order system and the integration was easy - almost plug and play since we already had the Global data information. A wonderful tool for managing the data of our energy as well as budget funding for the energy.

CONS

Not sure - still working to find at all that it does - so much power and capability and a very useful tool so we are still working to figure out all it does.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review! We are so thankful for clients like you and that we get the opportunity to help you and your team own your operations.

Energy Manager as a Energy Management Tool

Having a woven connection into my EPA reporting is a significant benefit, and it is especially useful for finding the reporting items that senior management finds compelling. It was worth the increased cost of moving up from less compatible, less expensive programs. Energy Manager has a detailed set of modules that can really tune your reporting and allow you to measure what you are managing.

PROS

Once I was able to sit down with The loaded and functional Energy Manager program, I found the interface to be very intuitional. I also found that the reporting was easy to set up and draw out the wanted information. Inputting current billing information is easy, if you have the time. I don't have the time, so having the Dude team able to pull the information from the same sources I do and populate the billing information for me is going to keep my reporting information and Energy Star stats always up to date. That's a win.

CONS

I was able to try out the Interval Data module but it wasn't successful as an application for us as the information was about 2 days behind. having real-time information is the best way to utilize that data.

Reason for choosing Energy Manager

It was a really attractive and developed interface and reporting capability that made it easy to choose the Energy Manager product.

Reasons for switching to Energy Manager

I made the switch from EnergyCAP because I felt That the main feature they use to tell you about your dollar savings history is disingenuous. It seems to add savings to your overall amount continuously, but doesn't discount forward-facing losses that sneak in as fluctuations occur in building efficiency trends. The program also had cumbersome and sometimes confusing reporting metrics.

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.

Tracking Energy in Schools

Overall both the content and ease of use of the software have exceeded all expectations!

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.

My experience with Energy Manager

Our City is using the Energy Manager to make informed decisions regarding best management practices with sustainability, building energy retrofits, and water usage monitoring and conservation. It's been a valuable tool.

PROS

The software has an easy to use dashboard and overall interface. It's very intuitive and the reporting is very useful. The software allows employees in an organization varying levels of accessibility and user privileges. What I like most about the software is the ability to make organizational sustainability decisions based on the data and the ability for our Public Works Department to identify inefficient facilities or irrigation leaks and issues in parks. The software has many useful applications.

CONS

Can't say there's anything I don't like about the software. Training from Dude Solutions is necessary to take full advantage of the reporting and features.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to review our solution! We are so glad to hear that Energy Manager is helping your city make informed energy decisions and drive future conservation efforts.
