NBI provided information from FirstView and we are proud to be mentioned in this resource from the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT). FirstView is a virtual energy auditing software tool, which uses monthly data to diagnose opportunities for improvement in buildings, provide actionable recommendations for energy savings, and compare buildings to their peers.

Putting Data to Work: Using Monthly Data From Benchmarking Programs was developed as part of Putting Data to Work, a multi-year pilot project aimed at using building performance data and asset information to help efficiency program implementers better target their outreach to building owners and increase the number of projects executed within these programs. The project team analyzed ways to use building performance data generated by city policies to improve energy efficiency program design and delivery in the District of Columbia and New York City, and resulted in a toolkit of resources to enable local governments, utilities, and program implementers to learn from activities to replicate success.
