November 3, 2008—AirAdvice, a developer of technologies to monitor and assess building performance, introduced a new version of its energy assessment software with enhanced features in both the online report generation process and in the report itself, the company has announced.
This BuildingAdvice software upgrade makes it easier for contractors to use the system and to customize reports, so building owners and property managers can see immediately the estimated savings and return on investment from proposed energy conservation measures, says AirAdvice.
The improved version of BuildingAdvice features an enhanced software interface to the U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR energy performance rating system, so commercial building owners pursuing LEED or ENERGY STAR certification can see both a projection of their ENERGY STAR rating based on the recommended energy savings from the report in addition to their current rating.
The upgrade also enables contractors to develop a customizable presentation of the projected savings and return on investment from proposed energy conservation measures. Reports on the savings of electricity/fuel, dollar savings and payback period can be broken out individually or bundled together and presented as a single proposal.
