Energy Saving Insights: New Measurement & Verification (M&V) Capabilities

Our latest update introduces powerful enhancements to Enertiv's M&V (Measurement & Verification) capabilities. These improvements provide precise, real-time tracking and validation of energy savings, enabling your team to monitor cumulative savings, detect performance slippage, and confirm the tangible impact of energy efficiency measures across properties

Here’s a breakdown of the new capabilities and how they compare to our
previous functionality.

What’s New with M&V?

1. Track Cumulative Savings

Before: Insights reported projected annual savings, providing an estimate without confirming actual savings over time.
Now: M&V tracks cumulative savings from the date of implementation, displaying total dollars and CO2 saved over time. This cumulative view allows you to see the full value of each insight and measure long-term ROI accurately.

2. Monitor On-Track vs. Off-Track Status

Before: Savings were presented as an annual estimate, without real-time tracking of progress or deviations.
Now: Each insight has a two-week status check, showing whether it’s on track or off track. This proactive alert helps property managers identify and address any
deviations quickly to keep energy savings on target.

3. Verify Partial Savings

Before: Partial implementations weren’t measurable, so savings didn’t reflect the
true impact of partial or mid-year implementations.
Now: M&V calculates savings even if an insight is only partially implemented, giving
an accurate reflection of savings even when conditions change. This feature
ensures you capture all value from energy measures, even in dynamic scenarios.

4. Automatically Detect Implementations

Before: Implementation status was updated manually, requiring input from
property teams.
Now: M&V automatically detects when an insight has been implemented based
on real-time data, saving time and ensuring accuracy without manual updates.

5. Detect Slippage in Performance

Before: Insight performance was not continuously monitored, making it challenging
to identify drops in efficiency.
Now: M&V identifies any slippage in savings performance, alerting property teams if
an insight starts to underperform. This allows for timely corrective actions to
maintain optimal efficiency.

Standard Insights

Automatic Implementation Detection
Automatically detects when an insight is implemented based on real-time data, eliminating manual updates
Slippage Detection
Identifies and alerts when an insight's performance drops below expected levels, helping prevent inefficiencies
from reoccurring
Accounts for Partial Implementations

Benefits of M&V for Property Teams

With M&V, Enertiv transforms insights from annual projections into a powerful, real-time tool for tracking progress, adjusting strategies, and demonstrating energy savings over time. Property managers can now confidently validate energy efficiency results, identifying which measures are working as expected and when adjustments are needed.

New Energy and ESG feature: Policy Tracking

Our latest feature, Policy Tracking, gives Enertiv users a clear view of the regulations that impact their properties. Using data from IMT (Institute for Market Transformation), this feature tracks policies such as benchmarking requirements, building performance standards (BEPS), and auto-retuning. It’s a proactive way to help real estate professionals understand and manage compliance needs for their properties.

Key Features of Policy Tracking

Manual Utility Account Setup: Capture Data for Accounts Without Credentials

Now you can manually add utility accounts when automatic syncing isn’t
possible, ensuring you still capture utility data for triple-net leases where tenants
can’t or won’t share credentials.

Two Ways to Sync Utility Data

checklist blue icon
Automatic Syncing

Connect Enertiv directly to the utility provider’s account (e.g., ComEd, water or gas companies) to automatically pull in bills each month—no manual effort required once it’s set up. This “one-and-done” method is the preferred approach, offering seamless integration for ongoing billing and ESG tracking.

checklist blue icon
Manual Account Setup

For cases where automatic syncing isn’t an option (e.g., privacy concerns, lost credentials, or tenant-managed accounts), users can now manually add utility accounts. Tenants or building owners can upload bills monthly. Enertiv will track the utility provider and process each bill to capture the utility data.
