Energy Expense Management in a Centralized System

New Energy: ManageRight includes electricity, gas and water expenses. After loading invoice information, details about your building, and a few company questions ManageRight can provide businesses with their energy cost per square foot and per employee. Once a performance baseline is established conservation efforts can be enacted and measured for success. This futuristic solution is not just a savings mechanism but a necessity as our population and pollution levels continue to rise. Join us in making a difference this year.

Process Includes:

• Perform a complete audit.
• Track the use and cost of all utilities through meters and invoices in one system.
• Process invoices electronically using Invoice X-Ray and identify errors.
• Benchmark performance using EPA's Portfolio Manager
  • Determine the level of benchmarking (equipment, process line, facility or organizational)
  • Develop metrics
  • Conduct comparisons
  • Track performance over time
• Provide an optimization report.
• Introduce trends to minimize natural resource usage.

Facility or organizational performance benchmarks are in the following ranks:

• Past performance — A comparison of current versus historical.
• Industry average — Based on an established performance metric, such as the recognized average performance of a peer group.
• Best in class — Benchmarking against the best in the industry and not the average.
• Best Practices — A qualitative comparison against certain, established practices considered to be the best in the industry.
