OptiMiser; OptiMiser DIY Audit |
OptiMiser professional audit software is a great tool for remote audits because it's modeling approach provides the flexibility and user feedback to help auditors produce accurate reports no matter what level of detail they're able to achieve during the audit. Virtual audits are more unpredictable, but with OptiMiser, the auditor can leverage every data point they're able to collect through phone or video chat or from external sources (e.g., utility bills or assessor data) to the fullest. OptiMiser's expert system automatically trues-up models to historical usage, while age and region-specific defaults cascade through the system as you work to supplement data collection. In addition to the professional audit software, OptiMiser provides a customer-facing DIY audit that is branded for the auditor/contractor and allows customers to participate using a short, easy to follow online survey. Each DIY audit is fed to a full physics modeling engine to provide great initial feedback to the customer and to pre-load a full-audit data set that the auditor can use later. |

Opower Home Energy Analysis |
The Opower Home Energy Analysis (HEA) is a configurable online audit tool that utility customers can complete to receive a personalized disaggregation of their energy usage as well as energy saving tips and recommendations. The HEA data is used to provide customers with a better understanding of how they use energy. The HEA incorporates behavioral design principles throughout to efficiently guide customers through the survey questions, resulting in average completion rates of 80%. Prior to customers starting the audit, the HEA displays information about the survey, including what the customer can expect to receive after completing. After the customer finishes the survey, the HEA displays a breakdown of their energy use and costs by bill period or in an annual summary. Customers can select each individual energy end-use category to see what percentage of their home’s energy use it comprises, category-specific tips, and a list of what contributes to energy use for the category. For utilities, the HEA is invaluable for gathering data about customer usage and home systems, which can then be used to promote relevant programs and build a pipeline for future retrofits. |
