Energy Analytics Views

A guide to the different energy-focused analytics dashboards in Scaler, what each visual shows, and how to use them effectively.

Energy Analytics Views

In the Energy section of the Analytics Portal, you can choose different views to change how your data is visualized.

How to navigate

  • Analytics Portal > Portfolio > Analytics > Energy > View
 

Landlord-Tenant Split

Use this view to separate energy data into landlord‑controlled vs. tenant‑controlled. When enabled, this view introduces dedicated visualizations for:

  • Energy use intensity (EUI)
  • Total energy consumption
  • Data coverage

The split is based on how meters are classified in the platform (tenant‑controlled vs. landlord‑controlled).

Suggested use

  • Develop targeted tenant engagement campaigns
  • Identify who contributes most to energy usage and by how much
  • Prioritize efficiency measures
 

Normalization

  • See detailed methodology in the normalizations article.

Weather‑based normalization

  • Must be enabled in Data Collection Portal > Settings
  • Method: Uses heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree days (CDD) to normalize usage against long‑term averages of the assigned weather station.
  • Application: Applied at the Asset‑level when Allocated weather station is set under Asset details.
  • Use case: Helps isolate the impact of operational efficiency measures by filtering out weather‑driven variability.

Time‑based normalization

  • Purpose: Extrapolates consumption to represent a full calendar year.
  • Where used: Portfolio‑level Energy use intensity and Total consumption graphs.
  • Method:
    • For total consumption:
      • Normalized value = Reported consumption / % of year with data
    • For EUI:
      • Normalized EUI = Reported consumption / % of year with data / Active area
  • Alignment: GRESB outlier methodology (resource‑level coverage).

Occupancy‑based normalization

  • Purpose: Adjusts consumption to reflect 100% occupancy.
  • Where used: Portfolio‑level Energy use intensity and Total consumption graphs.
  • Method:
    • For total consumption:
      • Normalized value = Reported consumption / Average occupancy rate
    • For EUI:
      • Normalized EUI = Reported consumption / Average occupancy rate / Active area
  • Alignment: GRESB outlier methodology.

Time + occupancy‑based normalization

  • Purpose: Adjusts for both time and occupancy.
  • Where used: Portfolio‑level energy graphs.
  • Method:
    • For total consumption:
      • Reported consumption / % of year with data / Average occupancy rate
    • For EUI:
      • Reported consumption / % of year with data / Average occupancy rate / Active area
  • Alignment: GRESB outlier methodology.
