— Will deliver “real time” energy usage data —

EVANSTON, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Northwestern University has awarded a contract for submetering, and
monthly recharge process to utiliVisor, a leading energy advisor and
provider of submetering and energy plant oversight services for the
purpose of increasing efficiency.

The metering and submetering will be employed in 224 buildings, totaling
approximately 15 million square feet on Northwestern’s campuses, a
240-acre parcel featuring a broad mix of academic, research and
administrative buildings.

“Northwestern is committed to being a leader in sustainability and to
reducing its energy consumption by 20% by 2020 from the 2010 baseline,”
said Timothy Angerame, utiliVisor’s COO. “The first step in lowering the
University’s overall energy consumption is to precisely understand its
overall energy picture, accurately quantifying utility data and
allocations.”

The utiliVisor solution is to develop a streamlined, comprehensive and
auditable method of allocating utility costs within both campuses using
metered data. The project will be implemented in two phases:

Phase 1

  • Review of meter methodology and recharge process
  • utiliVisor will document, type, multiplier and area served in one
    cohesive document
  • Onsite training of Northwestern meter reading using the utiliVisor
    iPad platform for both electronic logging and meter reading

Phase 2

  • utiliVisor connection, monthly meter reading and submeter recharge
    package generation

Allocation data from the meters will be collected via the web.
Northwestern will be provided with a custom cloud based platform
detailing all utility charges, as well as comprehensive utility
profiles/consumption reports.

“The utiliVisor system will provide Northwestern with the latest
submetering and utility accounting technologies,” said Mr. Angerame. “It
offers a customizable, expandable and dependable platform for the
accurate analysis and allocation of all campus utilities.”
