Inside the Dashboard: Art Gjyshinca’s Building BI – Energy Insights Dashboard for CRE Executives

What does the Building BI: Energy Insights Dashboard do?

Building BI: Energy Insights consolidates key energy metrics across entire portfolios, providing advanced analytics to monitor and optimize energy use. Here’s what it measures:

• Data visualization: Access a library of pre-built, customizable dashboards and charts for quick KPI tracking.
• Portfolio electrical consumption: View electrical consumption, carbon emissions, and site Energy Use Intensity (EUI) metrics across your portfolio.
• ESG and sustainability performance: Track CO2e emissions by service type and building, supporting certifications and ESG goals.
• Compliance with local regulations: Includes tools like the Local Law 97 Calculator to evaluate portfolio compliance and potential fines.
• Energy forecasting: Forecast energy usage trends across the portfolio to plan ahead.
• Override tracking: Identify and resolve settings left on override to reduce waste.

How can I use it?

Building BI enables CRE Executives to:

• Monitor portfolio-wide energy performance: Access all relevant metrics in a single, user-friendly platform. 
• Support ESG initiatives: Demonstrate sustainability progress with reliable data.
• Ensure compliance: Proactively manage carbon regulations to avoid fines.
• Identify and resolve inefficiencies: Detect points left on override on high-energy usage sites for quick action.
• Customize insights: Tailor dashboards for specific needs or reports. 

Portfolio energy overview

Managing energy data for large portfolios can feel overwhelming, especially when tracking multiple metrics across multiple buildings, in different locations.

With Building BI optimized for energy insights, users get a clear snapshot of their energy landscape. For example, one client with over 50 buildings in their portfolio uses the Portfolio Electrical Consumption view to identify high-energy buildings and optimize their performance. This actionable insight helps them reduce unnecessary consumption while ensuring compliance with local regulations like New York’s Local Law 97. 

Driving sustainability with ESG tracking

Building BI simplifies ESG reporting by tracking CO2e emissions across buildings and services. Users can monitor their carbon footprint, support certifications, and align with sustainability goals, all while streamlining reporting and demonstrating measurable progress.

Compliance made simple

Staying ahead of evolving sustainability regulations is critical for modern portfolios. Building BI includes a Local Law 97 Calculator, which shows how compliant your portfolio is and calculates potential fines for non-compliance. Users can address these gaps proactively, ensuring their operations align with sustainability standards.

Eliminating wasted energy with executive overrides

Building BI identifies points left on override across the portfolio, allowing users to quickly address forgotten settings and unnecessary energy use. This feature helps uncover hidden savings opportunities, ensuring energy efficiency and operational optimization.

Planning ahead with portfolio energy forecasts

Building BI provides detailed energy usage forecasts, helping clients anticipate future needs, set accurate budgets, and align with sustainability targets. With insights tailored to the entire portfolio, CRE Executives can make proactive, data-driven decisions.

Customizing dashboards for better decisions

Data visualization is a game-changer. With pre-built dashboards and a robust library, Building BI allows users to create tailored views for different roles. Whether tracking energy forecasts or monitoring override points, clients can quickly make data-driven decisions.

By consolidating all these insights in one place, Building BI empowers users to manage energy, sustainability, and compliance with confidence and efficiency. As someone who works closely with global portfolios, I’ve seen how this feature drives results, whether it’s reducing carbon footprints, saving on energy costs, or achieving sustainability certifications.
