Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, announced the launch of Performance Analytics, a new suite of functionality within its StruxureWare Resource Advisor software platform. Resource Advisor is a widely deployed energy and sustainability platform with over 4,500 clients and 20,000 users across 130 countries managing more than $30 billion of energy spend. This functionality builds on Resource Advisor's capabilities, which includes the ability to monitor energy and carbon markets, manage sustainability metrics and report results to stakeholders on over 400 types of resource streams, including utility and facility data, weather data, and water and energy usage.
To become more sustainable and efficient, companies must understand how their facilities consume resources on a site-by-site basis in enough detail to find inefficiencies and fix them. But they also need a simple way to look across the enterprise, in order to prioritize efforts, measure results, report to their stakeholders and compare themselves to their peers. Performance Analytics now allows Resource Advisor users to collect, visualize, and analyze near-real-time interval data from a variety of sources, in context of this enterprise-wide view of their data.
Performance Analytics allows for data collection and integration from multiple sources, helping to simplify visualization and analysis of interval data, while helping to reduce the cost of data acquisition. Leveraging Schneider Electric's membership with the Green Button Association, Schneider Electric can collect data straight from the utility, which can bypass the need for on-site meters and software. Schneider Electric can also tap into existing utility relationships to obtain interval data, or data can be obtained from a variety of meter, submeter, or BMS data, which may exist on-site or can be installed. This additional flexibility helps enable customers to choose a more cost-effective way to develop a complete picture of their consumption at the site-level or across their enterprise.
This software enhancement is in support of Schneider Electric's approach of providing additional integrated software and services for its clients. A cloud-based solution that helps increase collaboration, efficiency and transparency within a single software system, Resource Advisor can be used by the client, or as a means to help enable remote energy and sustainability management. For companies in need of expertise or simply additional bandwidth, Schneider Electric can also provide remote analysis capabilities to identify new opportunities for efficiency or to amplify existing in-house expertise.
