Pulse Energy has designed the only energy management software product on the market with dedicated applications for three different audiences. Collectively, these three applications have enabled energy savings of 5% to 25% in buildings across North America.
The Pulse™ Dashboard view engages building occupants by providing real-time energy information by means of a public website. The Pulse™ Management view helps facilities staff to quickly identify and correct energy anomalies, and to continually learn how any building performs under a wide range of circumstances. The Pulse™ Reporting view provides automated reporting on financial performance (such as continually calculating the ROI on an energy efficiency upgrade) as well as environmental performance, including GHG emissions tracking.
The Pulse™ Analytics Engine powers all three applications, providing unparalleled intelligence and accuracy, as the system learns how every building performs in a wide range of conditions and quickly identifies problems.
The web-based software is easily scalable to portfolios of dozens or thousands of buildings, and real-time reporting and alerts ensure that critical information isn't lost in a sea of data.
Dashboard
Engaging building occupants and the public in a building's energy management is becoming increasingly important. Whether it's to show building occupants the impact they can have by turning off lights or by reducing heating and cooling loads, or to show the public that your organization is taking meaningful steps to reduce its energy use and its carbon footprint, the Dashboard is a valuable tool.
The Dashboard view is designed to provide the education and feedback that occupants need to become an important part of energy conservation in any building.
In the Spring of 2009, the Pulse™ Dashboard was named as one of the industry's top three energy visualization tools by UC Berkeley's Centre for the Built Environment.
Management
Facility managers need real time information so that they can take immediate action when problems arise. Commercial and institutional facilities are very complex and simply knowing how much energy you are using at any point in time is not enough.
That is why Pulse Energy has teamed up with leading researchers from Berkeley, Stanford, Cambridge, and the University of British Columbia to develop the Typical Curve. This advanced analysis method provides facility managers with the information they need to act immediately when problems arise.
Reporting
Energy productivity is becoming a priority for an increasing number of executives. Whether you're in retail, where $1 of energy savings helps your bottom line as much as selling an extra $70 of merchandise, or you're preparing your organization for the arrival of a cap and trade carbon system, accurate reporting with minimal complexity is very important.
The team at Pulse Energy takes reporting seriously. One of the company co-founders wrote Crystal Reports in his garage in the 1980's, and went on the grow the company, called Crystal Decisions, into one of the world's leading Business Intelligence companies.
