Simple inputs, useful estimates
Get the information you need without asking for data customers may not know
Many customers cannot provide annual kWh, natural-gas consumption or utility cost. The estimator uses information they—or your staff—can answer more readily.
Apply localized data
The installed application combines the inputs with MAISY customer data and applicable utility-rate information.
Review the results
Use the energy, cost or emissions estimates to support the organization’s next customer or business decision.
Application options
Configure the estimator around the business purpose
The questions and results can be adapted to collect more or less information and to support the client’s specific geography, customers and application.
Support customer inquiries
Give authorized staff a consistent way to develop approximate energy-use or cost information during customer discussions.
Identify relevant opportunities
Use estimated baseline consumption and customer characteristics to support preliminary program or technology screening.
Build a customer proposition
Develop the energy or cost estimate needed to discuss a product, service or potential savings opportunity.
