Flex Analytics
Providing detailed, real-time transparency into building energy usage to help organizations decrease costs, reduce emissions, and more easily access data to support their energy management goals.
Frequent Customer Challenges
Blueprint Power Solutions
‘Flexible energy capacity’ is the ability of buildings to generate, store, and manage their own energy, by changing the amount (kWh) and timing of electricity sourced from the grid and by using onsite power sources (e.g. solar, generators, EV charging, battery energy storage). By utilizing their buildings’ flexible energy capacity, companies can help close energy supply & demand gaps more quickly, securely, and affordably, and with lower-carbon energy sources.
Blueprint Power’s Real-time Flex Energy Platform provides insights that help companies manage and monetize the flexible energy capacity of their buildings. This platform is delivered as a service and includes:
DIGBOX® Metering Hardware
Our proprietary DIGBOX captures energy usage data from building systems. It provides granular, real-time data beyond what electricity meters and building management systems typically do. It is scalable to the variety of building types.
Portal
The Blueprint Power Portal displays energy usage data via desktop and mobile devices from any modern browser. Companies use it to:
Analyze - assess energy consumption and usage patterns by energy systems, buildings, and across commercial portfolios
Optimize - access granular, real-time data to identify and execute opportunities to improve energy efficiency and unlock flexible capacity
Monetize - get notifications to shift energy use and sources to help support electrical grid stability and generate value with grid savings and revenue programs
Value to Our Customers
Reduced Energy Consumption and Costs with Actionable Data
View detailed energy usage patterns to identify options with the potential to improve energy efficiency, decrease consumption and emissions, and increase energy flexibility and resiliency.
Easier Analytics
Access and download consistent, current data for analytics on individual building systems, buildings, and across building portfolios.
Adaptable Technology
Manage complexity with a platform that works on most building types and can be updated without physical changes.
Examples in Action
When utility bills are different than expected, customers have used our platform data to investigate potential discrepancies and causes in more detail.
A customer used our platform to quantify reduced energy consumption following an energy efficiency project (see Flex Optimization) and make the case for conducting similar projects at other locations.
When participating in demand response programs, customers can compare in real-time how their energy curtailment efforts align with targets to help optimize their program earnings.
We can potentially help building owners start to generate cash flow, carbon reduction, and resiliency benefits in just a few months, while planning and implementing value-generating site improvements for the long-term.
