BENCHMARK, MANAGE, AND TRACK ENERGY USE

Escalating energy prices and operational costs are difficult to track and control without the right energy management software. More than ever, businesses need a better way to manage and internally benchmark their energy usage.

See The Light Benchmarking Software was developed by the veteran energy management team at Kilojolts Consulting Group. Since energy can't be tracked accurately by generic spreadsheets that don’t account for weather and billing period variations, Kilojolts created this easy-to-use tool that allows operators to know with certainty how their locations are using energy.

See The Light helps you:

• Benchmark facility energy performance against your own portfolio locations
• Establish a company baseline metric most valuable to your organization, such as MBTU's per $ of sale or transaction (restaurants, supermarkets, retail) or per occupied room (hotels, healthcare.)
• Verify energy use reductions
• Identify energy usage trends so you can intervene before costs get out of hand

FINALLY MAKING SENSE OF UTILITY BILLS

If your company is like most organizations, the utility bills come in, someone screams about the cost, and then they get paid. There’s no scrutiny, no analysis, no trend watching.

Carbon Accounting with
See The Light

In the near future, every business will be required to monitor, track, and reduce its carbon footprint—that is the equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by humans at home and in industry, over the course of one year. The President wants Congress to act quickly and some of the largest companies in the world—Wal-Mart, Coca Cola, and Microsoft among them-- are already making major efforts to be prepared. Wal-Mart has asked its 60,000 suppliers to start monitoring their water use and CO2 emissions.

One thing is certain; the earlier you start the process, the better positioned your business will be to comply with any new regulations. Thanks to See The Light energy benchmarking software from Kilojolts, carbon accounting is fast, affordable, and easy to implement.

How See The Light Tracks Your Carbon Footprint

See The Light software tracks usage for all greenhouse gas-emitting energy sources (electricity, oil, gas, propane.) With just one click of the reporting tool button, See The Light converts all energy usage within each selected site to equivalent CO2 emissions (using 2008 Energy Star reporting criteria) and reports the carbon footprint on a quarterly basis. The report shows year-over-year quarterly comparison, so you can track progress toward a specific carbon footprint reduction goal. Save the report in Microsoft Excel or as a PDF and share it with your team—and possibly with your clients or the EPA—to show how your company is doing its part to slow global warming.

See The Light also tracks water usage so you can measure and report how well your staff has reduced its use of this finite natural resource.
