Things that make your life easier #2

Yes, it's two more features that make your life easier. This time, we’ve got a new benchmarking feature and inlet/outlet data. Read on …

‍

Benchmarking (when it’s OK to compare yourself to others)

Have you ever wondered how your properties compare with others in terms of energy consumption? Our new Benchmarking feature can show you just that. 

‍

By utilising OIS data, we’ve been able to create specific market benchmarks based on building types and construction decades. 

‍

What does this mean for you?

It means that you’ll be able to get a far more granular idea of how well your properties are performing, and not just at the kWh/m2 level. 

For example, if you have a property that is performing well in terms of energy intensity (kWh/m2) but comparable buildings are performing better, you can now dig into the details to help find out why. 

‍

Similarly, you can identify any properties that may have high energy intensity, but perform 40% better than comparable buildings. Ultimately, the feature allows you to really dig down into your property energy data so you can make qualified decisions based on granular data. 

Besides being able to optimise energy efficiency in your properties and portfolio, benchmarking data can also be shared with stakeholders, such as investors and tenants, to demonstrate your commitment to sustainability.

‍

If you want to dig into how we have approached these benchmark calculations, we’ve added a new tab under "Know your data" in your comundo dashboard that explains our approach.

Inlet/outlet data (it’s pretty cool)

You can now see how efficiently your properties utilise their district heating energy, thanks to inlet/outlet and cooling data, accessible through your comundo dashboard.

Inlet/outlet and cooling data refer to the temperatures at which district heating enters and exits a building, so you can see how efficiently the energy is converted on a monthly or daily basis.

‍

Why is this useful?

It’s useful because you’ll be able to see whether or not properties are utilising heating optimally, and identify which properties need to be optimised. Furthermore, you’ll be able to pinpoint any properties with insufficient cooling, posing a penalty risk.Unfortunately, not all suppliers can share this level of data, so it might not be visible on all of your properties. But rest assured, we will keep our eyes peeled to make sure we can share as much data with you whenever possible
