EnergyCAP Professional
Software for domestic public school districts (see EnergyCAP Enterprise for other organizations) that need straightforward utility bill tracking, energy management reports and calculation of the cost avoidance attributable to energy management activities. A typical Professional client has 50 to 1,000 utility accounts, pays $500,000 to $10 million a year and is primarily used from one energy management or utilities management office. Professional uses Microsoft's SQL Server Desktop Edition database (MSDE) but it can also connect to SQL Server. Multiple users can access the data simultaneously.
EnergyCAP Professional is perfect for school districts that need:
- Verification of utility bills. EnergyCAP's exclusive Bill Auditor checks each bill for reasonableness 21 ways.
- Energy, cost and savings reports. Over 50 reports, each with extensive filtering options. Save time with report Favorites and Batch reports.
- Cost avoidance results. Energy CAP calculates the cost avoidance (dollar savings) attributable to energy management activities, in accordance with the international standard for performance contract measurement and verification.
- Energy efficiency. It's often said that you can't control what you can't see. Professional lets you quickly and easily see a total picture of your organization's energy cost and consumption, the first step to energy efficiency and cost reduction.
