Operating analysis
Similar to a facility savings analysis but
uses hourly historic usage to evaluate effects of operating changes
on energy costs.
High demand and low load factors not only increase utility bills,
but also make a user less desirable to retail suppliers. A review
of electric use patterns can reveal opportunities to reduce demand
charges through operational changes or suggest equipment changes.
Uses:
- Assess impact of operating or equipment changes on energy costs
for a facility.
Miscellaneous data management
Staying on top of your business means staying on top of all of
the information, rate and business rule changes that states, ISOs
and utilities implement. REBO can collect, compile and interpret
this miscellaneous data for you.

Utility Rate Books, Supplier Handbooks, Utility Load Shapes, Loss Schedules,
Meter Read Schedules, and Weather data
Uses:
- Retail pricing

- Reconciliation
