Data analysis allows NYEM to make recommendations for conservation measures and savings opportunities. Users are provided with comprehensive monthly reports, smart alerts, and project tracking when energy-saving measures are implemented. The real-time monitoring allows NYEM’s advisors to quickly identify system failures and predict future equipment issues. Information is available in real time on the platform and NYEM users are offered virtual energy efficiency audits conducted within the platform. Insights and services are offered and priced based on the level of data collected and advisory services
