Calculated management of energy and utility usage in order to create a more efficient and cost effective system.

BEST is a program to establish, implement, measure and report on energy systems and policies to manage a property with reduced operating costs, increased useful building lifetime and significant improvement in property value. The system has precise standards specific to how a building should operate in order to be as efficient as possible. By measuring the building's efficiency through audits and scoring it by comparison to those specific standards, opportunities for improvement present themselves. These improvement are then managed through Stemmons Central to ensure that they are accomplished, thus improving the building's overall efficiency while reducing cost.

USER EXPERIENCE :

• CAST creates a case periodically for BEST inspectors to complete an audit of a building
• Quest form is used as a scoring sheet while documenting results of the BEST audit
• Inspection results are compared with specified Standards of efficiency and operation
• Any results that do not meet standards will automatically create an intervention case in order for that standards to be met
• Simultaneously, Current utility usage along with history of past consumption and weather data, is consolidated in a Utility Consumption Report which is analyzed on a daily basis
• If an anomaly in the data is detected, the source is identified and an intervention case is created to resolve problem
• All intervention cases are tracked and their progress can be displayed by building or by intervention type
