The Overview page is your quick screen of what needs attention right now. Gridium automatically highlights upcoming peak demand forecasts, utility bills with high variances, and recent days with unexpectedly high use or demand.
Upcoming demand management opportunities
Peak demand charges can drive 40% or more of a building’s monthly electricity costs. Gridium highlights upcoming demand management opportunities at the top of this page. The best days for curtailment are marked with a red dot.
Recent bills with high variance
These cards show year-on-year variances for your most recent utility bills, ordered from smallest to highest dollar variance. Only bills with greater than 10% variance are shown. If you have a portfolio, you may need to scroll right to see all of them.
Click through to see a detailed breakdown of the sources of bill variance: weather, demand charges, rate changes, schedule shifts, and more.
Recent energy use and demand outliers
This table highlights instances of unusually high or low energy use or demand by comparing your building’s actual energy use to expected energy use based on factors like weather and time of day. Only peaks with greater than 10% variance are shown. Click through to the detailed load chart to see how energy use varies from expectation on an interval-by-interval basis.
