IPMVP: the energy savings protocol to make you go green
Reducing costs can be done from multiple aspects in a company, and cutting down energy-related costs is becoming crucial, especially since the energy prices spike that occurred during the 2021-2022 winter. And amongst the many solutions, using the IPMVP -which is included in Enectiva- is one of the most important tools to have as a complement to adequately measure the savings. Let’s dive deeper into it.
What is IPMVP The five-letters acronym stands for International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol, which was set up by the Evaluation Valuation Organization, a USA-based non-profit organisation.
AI working for a green future: predictive controlling
In the digital age, one of the most valuable assets a company can hold is data. Data makes it possible to acquire the desired knowledge, which in turn always proves to be critical to give the company a comparative advantage. In the specific case of energy controlling and facilities management, predictive controlling can decrease the consumption and the carbon footprint even further than before. And Enectiva is working on it to soon be able to provide you with such a powerful tool.
How to work with our Energy Dashboards ?
What are dashboards? Dashboards are useful to get all the data and charts that you need on a single welcome page ! With our dashboards, you can see all of your energy consumptions whether it is electricity, water, gas and even your carbon footprint monitoring in one sight.
The dashboards can be accessed by log in into Enectiva app or by clicking on your profile picture. They are a place where your delivered charts are put, if you want that to happen.
Carbon Footprint Monitoring
Carbon Footprint - Scope 1 and 2
Legislation, the public, and the drive for sustainable corporate behaviour has generated a wave of interest in determining the carbon footprint of products and entire companies. The basic documents for such calculation are ISO 14064 (company carbon footprint), ISO 14067 (product carbon footprint) and last but not least the GHG protocol (Green House Gases protocol).
The Enectiva platform fully covers the company’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon footprint monitoring and reporting requirements.
New feature: Monitoring the annual energy budget
Notifications in Enectiva are extended by another option, namely notifications of exceeding consumption or costs from the beginning of the year. Public administration and companies operate within a limited annual energy budget, which they can’t exceed. That’s why we’ve added consumption and cost alerts to the app from the beginning of the calendar year.
Why turn on calendar year alerts? Public administration institutions, schools, municipalities and companies have limited annual energy budgets.
