Solution: Prenova’s tools and processes include a scalable, unique method for transforming volumes of historical bill data into visible, actionable insights to take advantage of immediate cost savings and proactively address identified risks.

Once the bill payment data has been processed through Prenova’s three-staged audit process, a refined baseline is developed and loaded into PreVue for all budgeting/forecasting, measurement and analytical processes. Information regarding energy performance and benchmark comparisons is available down to the site level, and period-over-period comparisons at any and all levels are made available in both graphical and report-table formats. Most values are shown not only in units, such as $ or kWh, but also in comparative values, such as $/kWh or $/square foot, which makes them more meaningful based on the analysis being performed. Virtually all values shown that include bill data as the primary reference can be selected as “basic” or “weather normalized”, again by simply pressing a button.

Tables can be exported by the customer to Excel by the press of a button for printing or sending to others for internal reporting and analysis. Due to the vast array of selection criteria within PreVue, reports can be quickly “customized” within PreVue itself depending on user interest, without any query language required. 

All information can be seen in any relevant time interval by the use of a simple calendar feature, and can be viewed in any hierarchical layout desired, such as Building Type, Zip Code, Region, District, Utility Served, and Site (to name just a few), or in any cross-sectional view, for instance, comparing singular location performance across the portfolio.

The values in PreVue® can have “Thresholds” set which can activate a red or yellow “warning” display in PreVue and which can, upon customer request, also notify the proper individuals by email, fax, pager, or cell phone that a threshold has been exceeded.

Outcome: PreVue creates an unmatched level of visibility, manageability and predictability over strategic plan outcomes, serving as a window into consumption trends and the performance of all initiatives undertaken. PreVue quickly highlights how well the strategic plan, and all budgets and forecasts, are tracking against targeted results. Customers gain control over their KPI’s, and can extend performance visibility down to the site level, which is a critical component in engaging facility managers and driving down accountability to ensure goals are met.
