Entech’s Dashboard: Your Energy at a Glance
In today’s fast-paced world, energy efficiency is more than just a trend—it’s a smart financial move. To truly manage your energy costs, it’s crucial to have a clear grasp of your fuel and gas consumption. That’s where the Entech Fuel Savings Dashboard comes in. This powerful tool goes beyond mere data presentation, transforming your energy usage information into intuitive, visual insights. Seamlessly integrating with major energy providers like Con Edison (Coned) and National Grid (NG), our dashboard doesn’t just present numbers—it clearly portrays fuel usage through dynamic graphs and reports. It offers a precise breakdown of fuel usage per Heating Degree Day, making it effortless to compare yearly consumption.
Bringing Your Energy Data to Life
Seamless Integration with Energy Providers
One of the standout features of our dashboard is its ability to pull real-time data from your energy provider and present it in a visual format.
Con Edison (Coned): If you’re a Coned customer with a smart meter, you’re in for a treat. The dashboard provides daily and even hourly updates on your gas usage, all displayed in intuitive graphs. These visuals make it easy to see exactly when your gas usage spikes, helping you identify patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
National Grid (NG): For NG customers, the dashboard updates every two weeks, displaying your monthly gas usage in a clear, easy-to-read format. The monthly graphs provide a valuable overview of your energy trends.
Understanding Your Usage with Heating Degree Days (HDD)
One of the dashboard’s key features is its ability to adjust your gas usage data based on Heating Degree Days (HDD). The yearly HDD is pulled in from Nyserdas website. It is calculated by subtracting the average daily temperature from a base temperature of 65°F. By factoring in HDD, the dashboard shows how efficiently your heating system is operating relative to the weather.
HDD-Adjusted Graphs
Normalized Usage Data: The dashboard’s graphs adjust your gas usage based on HDD, providing a clear picture of how efficiently your heating system is operating. This normalization allows you to make apples-to-apples comparisons across different time periods, even if the weather was drastically different.
Efficiency Over Time: The HDD-adjusted graphs help you track your heating efficiency over time. You can easily see when your system is running optimally and when it might be time for a tune-up or upgrade.
Key Features and Benefits
Daily/Hourly Visuals (Coned): For Coned users, the dashboard’s graphs offer a day-by-day look at your gas usage. The visual format makes it immediately clear when you’re using the most energy, helping you make quick adjustments.
Monthly Trends (NG): NG customers can view their gas usage month by month, with bi-weekly updates keeping the data fresh. These graphs make it easy to spot seasonal trends or changes in your usage patterns.
Comparative Analysis Made Simple
Compare Different Periods: Want to know how your energy usage this winter compares to last winter? The dashboard’s comparative graphs make it easy to see differences in usage, adjusted for weather conditions.
