Basic Reports
EnergyTracer allows users to run several types of basic reports that display data on energy usage, energy cost, and greenhouse gas emissions on all or a selection of buildings within an organization.
Transcript Report
The Transcript Report helps users to understand how their buildings' energy usage compares to the CBECs benchmark, in addition to summaries of energy usage, cost, and greenhouse gas emissions. The report assigned letter grading to each building. The grade-scale is based on a percent deviation from the building's CBECs Kbtu/Ft^2 benchmark as seen below:

Trend Report
The Trend report allows users to see their current energy usage and cost compared to a baseline year. This data is graphed to show a visual comparison. Tables display data on usage, cost, usage per ft^2, a monthly average, and percent change from the baseline year.
Usage Report
The Usage Report is a summary of total usage and cost over several years, broken out by month. The data is broken out by total for the organization, commodity (gas, water, electric, propane), electric demand, and individual buildings.
Advanced Reporting
Performance Reports
Performance reports use weather normalized utility models to accurately calculate year over year savings from energy efficiency projects. This report will show you weather normalized savings for energy usage, energy cost, and GHG emissions. This data will be shown year over year, as well as, monthly, by building, and by utility type.
These reports are only available with an Analysis License, if you are interested in performance reporting, please contact someone from our team.
Greenhouse Gas Reports
Greenhouse Gas Summary Report
This is a comprehensive report that gives organization stakeholders detailed insight into their greenhouse gas emissions. It’s especially helpful for organizations that undertook an energy efficiency project since it will show a summary of reductions resulting from less energy consumption. The report also includes a ranking of buildings from best to worst emitters, greenhouse gas equivalencies, a breakdown of emissions reductions by utility, and scope, as well as potential reductions that could result by sourcing all or a portion of electrical consumption from on-site renewable energy.
Carbon Transcript Report
This report assigns a letter Grade (A-F) to an organization and each building within the organization based on carbon equivalent emissions per square foot. The grade scale is based upon the building type and climate region from CBECS benchmark data which is converted to GHG emissions based on location. We utilize the same deviations from the CBECS mean as utilized in the energy transcript report to assign the letter grades.
Greenhouse Gas Baseline Report
This report is meant to be utilized as a tool in decarbonization efforts and initiatives. The report provides baseline measurements for the GHG emissions (MTCO2e/year) for scope-1 & scope-2, outlining the environmental impact of the existing operations. Emission baselines are necessary to determine the emission reductions resulting from a GHG mitigation project and calculating the associated emission credits. They are also required for any project-based trading program to reduce GHG emissions. Additionally, the report gives examples and ideas of how GHG emissions can easily be reduced: such as bringing building energy intensity in- line with established benchmarks and adding on-site renewable energy assets.
