Who we are
• Energy Management experts for commercial, hospital, industrial and institutional customers
• Cloud-based Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS)
• “SaaS” Model – Software AND a Service. Focused on value through quality software & Energy Analysts
• Monitoring actual vs. predicted energy consumption to highlight waste and conservation opportunities
• Savings of 5% - 10% in first year, which pays for the system. Long term savings of more than 20%!
Product Suite
Our basic Energy Monitoring (EM) solution providing real-time access to consumption data for all meters
Value: Validate utility bills, identify waste, report results
EnergentET extends EM by creating customized energy targets (ET) based on inputs & extensive modeling
Value: Quantify savings, comparison reports, alert engine
Product Suite
Energent’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG)module enables organizations to understand the impact of their consumption & reductions in carbon equivalents
Value: Real World consequences, public facing

Typical Retail Conservation Projects
• Identify sites that have the best opportunity to manage energy spend (direct connect, metered locations)
• Conduct Utility Bill Analysis reports
• Review key operational changes that can have high impact on consumption and low impact on business (start up procedures, conservation events)
• Use software to measure and verify results, identify and document best practices

Where are the savings from?
Improved internal processes
Measure and Validate projects
Build a “Culture of Conservation”
Quickly identify & eliminate “wasteful processes” and identify best practices that can be leveraged company wide
Build a business case for energy conservation projects and identify the projects with the fastest/largest payback (LED lighting, HVAC, etc.)
Create a culture of conservation by identifying and reducing the “golden crumbs” of energy management & benchmark across organization
Energent Engagement Process
Step 1 - Utility Bill Analysis- An inexpensive project to identify the most effective ways to reduce consumption and save money
- Analyze historical data from all locations and present detailed report on savings opportunities
- Report is completed in approximately 2 weeks
Results: Typically 2% reduction in commodity spend
Energent Engagement Process
Step 2 – Opportunity Analysis
- Systematic approach to developing an opportunities list
- List of capital upgrades ranked by various metrics
- Behavioural modifications that have the lowest cost and highest impact
Results: Detailed ROI Analysis (project & corporate)
Energent Engagement Process
Step 3 – Design EMIS implementation plan
- Begin to take action on opportunities list
- Use trackers to document best practices across organization
- Implement GHG module to showcase reductions and educate stakeholders
Results: Comprehensive implementation plan to maximize conservation opportunities & carbon equivalents
Energent Engagement Process
Step 4 – Measure & Benchmark
- Compare locations by various metrics instantly
- Share Best Practices across the organization & compare results online and through reports
- Continuous Improvement Program implementation
Results: Continuously improve across entire organization
