Personal Energy Advisor℠

The Personal Energy Advisor^SM is the premier online energy audit and reduction software for residential and small business customers. As the most user-friendly, granular and comprehensive online energy audit product, the Personal Energy Advisor^SM provides custom recommendations that make it easy for your customers to see the personal dollar, energy, and other resource benefits and costs from hundreds of actions and purchases we confront every day.

Your customers can set savings goals, compare products and see exactly where they get the most bang for the buck. With the Personal Energy Advisor^SM, living smarter has never been so easy, fun and rewarding!

Below are just a few highlights that set the Personal Energy Advisor^SM apart:

• Unprecedented database sophistication. Over 6,000,000 data points and thousands of potential user inputs across virtually every action or purchase one confronts in ordinary life! The software harnesses high-resolution data on temperature, insolation, precipitation, local energy use and many other characteristics to yield customized results.
• Complex, interdependent algorithms. Tree structures, conditionals and dependencies enable distinct parts of the software to interact with one another in complex ways. For example, if a user lowers the temperature of her water heater, the software knows to recalculate the savings from related actions like installing a low flow shower head.
• Built on the principle of exploiting uncertainty. Adaptable to extreme variation in user information input. All potential inputs rely on customized default values that users can change according to preference. You can input as little or as much information as you’d like!
• Custom product recommendations. Curated product lists are built into the algorithms for the entire range of consumer goods products. Users can see exactly what carbon, dollar and energy savings accrue to them from different models of refrigerators, furnaces, automobiles, and much more!
• Easy tracking over time. The software is not just a snapshot in time, but a service that adapts to changes in your lifestyle. For example, if a user starts driving less aggressively to save on gasoline and then a month later decides to buy a Prius, the software automatically recalculates the benefits from driving less aggressively in the new car.
• Flexible metrics. Able to translate the impact of actions into any relevant metric, whether that be energy, peak demand, carbon, dollar savings or water. Metrics can also include relevant ratios such as return on investment, payback period or carbon per dollar.
• Bill verification and support. We compare the actions you take to reduce your energy usage to your actual bills and then follow up with you to get a more reliable estimate of your actual energy reductions. Ours is the first service capable of measuring, verifying and aggregating energy reductions for monetization purposes.
