Features & BenefitsAnnual BudgetingCreate accurate and easy to manage annual budgets.

How do I create a yearly utility budget that is both accurate and reliable? Which source do I use to obtain the most accurate information to forecast and rely on? With volatile wholesale markets, frequently changing utility rates and unpredictable weather, these questions can be di�cult to answer.

UtilityModule provides an easy solution with a user-friendly budgeting platform that utilizes advanced algorithms to factor in usage patterns, wholesale trading activity, heating and cooling degree days and current utility tari� filings to accurately calculate budgeting expenses.

Budget ReprojectionsReforecasting your annual budget just got easier.

Once an annual budget is created, UtilityModule will compare it with the usage and cost, prior to forecasting the current year budget by inputting the data. Using standardized metrics, UtilityModule will create the budget to be tracked, reconciled and re-forecasted throughout the year. Tracking is completed at meters, properties or portfolio levels.

Report & Chart BuildingBuild, customize and download data charts and reports.

ReportBuilder allows the creation of management level reports directly in UtilityModule, with the ability to download to a desktop computer to quantify and analyze both past results and future projections.

ChartBuilder graphs energy data with selected overlays for easy historical and trend comparisons.

AlarmsReceive alerts if there is a problem or malfunction.

AccrualsCreate yearly projections with a click of a button.

PayablesProcess of utility bills the fast and e�ecient way.

ContractsTaylor will catalogue and maintain contracts.

Benchmarking Stay in compliance by comparing energy use to portfolios and properties of similar building types.

Benchmarking is a crucial tool utilized to gain insight to reduce overall energy consumption by measuring, tracking and comparing property energy performance. The problem is most companies don’t have the proper resources at their disposal necessary to collect and analyze the relevant energy data.

UtilityModule assists in the management of benchmarking by detailing, per property, standard metrics for energy usage that can be used in measuring and tracking energy e�ciency. UtilityModule displays usage and cost per square foot and per unit, and the gathered statistics can be compared to other properties in the portfolio as well as the portfolio averages or groups of similar property types.

Demand AnalysisCalculation of energy use divided by square feet.

When benchmarking a property, one of the key factors involved is Energy Use Intensity. The EUI (energy use divided by square feet), is a calculation used to determine how a property compares to other properties with similar building types. UtilityModule calculates Energy Use Intensity for each property and makes a comparison with other properties.

How it WorksPowerfully e�ective reverse auction platform where suppliers compete for your business.

EnergyAuctions is a real-time, online, reverse auction platform that creates proven savings and increased puchasing e�ciencies for deregulated electric and natural gas accounts.

The transparent format fosters rigorous competition among suppliers as they bid down their prices during a live, online auction. Suppliers are thoroughly vetted and o�erings are constantly evaluated with respect to the marketplace, in a purely objective manner, with no bias towards any one supplier.

Buying opportunities are continually evaluated, risk and reward are constantly monitored and contracts are secured on downward dips.

AggregationsCreate buying power by joining hundreds of businesses.

Join with hundreds or even thousands of local businesses to take advantage of the benefits of bulk purchasing power. Regardless of business size, Taylor will create an aggregation of clients with similar profiles.

For accounts in a common region, Taylor’s system will automatically create optimal aggregations which group accounts by delivery zone, load factor, rate class and several other complementary factors.

During the development of the aggregations, Taylor’s market experts will continuously monitor volatile market conditions and utility tari� rates to determine the optimal time to auction the overall load.

Tracking EnergyConserve energy by knowing how the energy is being used.

Once an auction has been conducted, the data is transferred to UtilityModule, a utility management system, for budget creation, tracking and savings performance. Utilizing proprietary algorithms and market information to analyze data and run reports, UtilityModule e�ectively assists in the tracking of energy usage and management of expenses.
