Why track energy?
• To know energy use & cost breakdown ofevery facility
• To catch costly equipment malfunctions early• To easily report usage, cost, and emissions

• Working with BC cities since 2008• Recently setup the Town of Valleyview– Obtained historical data 2004 to present• AMSC• TransAlta• Local Gas Utility
• Determined best way to obtain & update data• Extract meaning from the data

Step 1: Obtain raw utility data

Excel
**Month Normalization**
• Raw utility data is organized by READ DATE• Meters are read sporadically throughout the year• Usage and cost data is for reading period
(ex: September 11 - October 15)• Need usage PER MONTH for meaningful tracking

Excel
**Month Normalization**
• Example:– 60 GJ from August 20th to September 10th
– 80 GJ from September 11th to October 15th
– Therefore usage in September: 60 GJ * (10 days / 22 days) + 80 GJ * (20 days / 35 days) = 73 GJ

1. Manipulate with Excel, or2. Import into self-managed software, or3. Work with an energy tracking and data
visualization consultant
3 main options:

• Compare between facilities– Identify energy reduction candidates
• Compare to history– Catch spikes in usage for investigation
(equipment malfunctions can cost $$,$$$.$$)• Factor in climate• Have facility/meter cost & usage at fingertips• Have municipality cost & usage at fingertips
