Reports

The following reports are available with Net Zero Advisor:
  • Utility Bill Comparison: This report helps you to compare the spend appearing in multiple invoices, for the accounts under the selected building. The cost comparison and percentage deviation shown for a monthly or yearly basis, helping you to keep track of the utility spend and analyze it for an improving and deteriorating trend.
  • Energy Comparison by Location: This report compares the Consumption and Max Demand of different spaces for the same period. There is a data normalization feature along with the normal comparison which, when selected, eliminates the effect of weather. For example, if a Building Owner wants to compare the consumption or demand of Floor 1 and Floor 2 that are leased to the same company, the Owner can use this report to view the two floors that were responsible for the max demand that resulted in a penalty.
  • Energy Baseline By Space: This report displays the energy consumption against a baseline for spaces. View the actual consumption for the selected period, the baseline for the selected period, the change in consumption, and the percentage change with respect to the baseline.
