Track and manage energy use to control costs,
reduce carbon footprint, and mitigate risk
With lower utility costs, mandates to reduce carbon emissions, and sustainability efforts
gaining more visibility, effective energy management has become even more important for
organizations. ARCHIBUS Energy Management provides the means to easily aggregate,
evaluate, and optimize energy and utility spending decisions to reduce unnecessary
consumption and costs. Unlike spreadsheets or finance software alone, Energy
Management helps users correlate and manage extensive cost and consumption data
with real-time facility and infrastructure portfolio information to track energy expenditures
against a business plan or objective benchmarks.
BENEFITS
• Helps lower annual energy costs, typically • Reduces business risk and exposure
by 5% (or approximately $0.10 – 0.20 USD to changes in energy costs or

• Provides audit capabilities to easily access, • Improves decision-making by
