Analytics

Everything you filed, still yours to read.

The readings we send to the city do not stop being useful the day the filing closes. The charts inside the product are drawn from those same readings — data already in your account because you had to file it.

What the data does after you file

  • Year over year, per building.

    Pick up to five buildings, pick a span, and read the change month by month or year by year. Nothing to export first.

  • Your buildings against each other.

    Compare up to five of your own buildings at once, with the buildings you picked added up as one portfolio beside them, for the period you picked. Not a national percentile — your portfolio, which is the comparison you actually argue about.

  • Metrics you write yourself.

    Fourteen are built in. Write your own with a formula over anything you track, name it, and it appears where the built-in ones do — in charts, comparisons and reports, and in alerts unless it is a once-a-year figure. There is a guide in the app for the syntax. You can track your own series per building too: parking spaces, headcount, operating hours, room nights — anything you count.

  • A number you decide is worth watching.

    Set an alert on a metric that moves further than you choose — against the same month last year, or past a fixed level. It waits for you on your dashboard, and when you acknowledge it your note is kept with it, so the record says who saw it and what they made of it.

One building, two years, month by month

Site energy. One series: Harborline Tower. 24 periods from Jan 2024 to Dec 2025. Every period has a value. Values are in kBtu.00.2M0.4M0.6M0.8M1M1.2M1.4MkBtuJan 2024Jan 2025
Example data. Harborline Tower is a demonstration building we maintain — not a customer, and not a real address — and its readings are demonstration readings too. The figures are worked out by the same code that works out yours inside Benchmarqit. Harborline Tower: 1,177,448 kBtu in Dec 2025, down 61,190 (4.9%) on the same month a year earlier.

Per square foot for the city, per unit from your rent roll

Your buildings have units. The ordinance only counts square feet.

Benchmarking programs report a building’s energy per square foot. You budget per unit — it is how the T-12 reads and how the rent roll reads. Benchmarqit carries both numbers for the same building: upload the rent roll you already have, and site energy, energy cost and water each gain a twin per unit actually occupied, so a building half-way through lease-up does not read as an efficient one — and site energy and energy cost a twin over every unit on the rent roll as well. Any metric you write yourself can divide by the same rent roll.

Example data. Harborline Tower and Cedar & Vine are demonstration buildings we maintain — not customers, and not real addresses — and their readings are demonstration readings too. The figures are worked out by the same code that works out yours inside Benchmarqit. The same year of site energy, read per square foot the way the ordinance asks and per unit the way the rent roll reads.

Where the numbers come from

Meters sync nightly to ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®. Bills come in from a spreadsheet: paste them into our template, or upload the meter spreadsheet you already fill in for ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® exactly as it is. A period that costs less than nothing, runs backwards, appears twice in one file or ends after the day you upload it is held for you to look at, and one that uses nothing or far more than its own history is held or named, never quietly added. Rent rolls come in as the export you already have: you match its columns to ours once, and we remember the shape, so the next roll lands the same way.

A bills export from any system can be uploaded as well, as a .csv or .xlsx file with one row per bill, whatever its columns are called and in whatever order: you map them to ours by hand.

One honest limit, stated here rather than discovered later. A site EUI and an ENERGY STAR® score cover twelve months, and each one can appear only once its window is complete, when the last month in it has ended — so what you read is the twelve months ending in a month already over, not only last December. What nobody can show you is a figure for a window running into the month you are standing in: a part-year is charted as a part-year, and nothing here scores a building from three months of readings.

Reports you can hand over

Reports carry the charts and your own metrics, and each one comes with a spreadsheet twin holding the same figures as numbers.

If your lender asks for the same annual figures every year, re-run a report you save with your metrics each year — the same building, the same template, and a methodology page saying which definitions produced the numbers and whether any of them changed.

The people who do the work

Add the people who do the work. Four roles: read-only for the asset manager who just needs the number, read-write for whoever maintains the data, full rights where someone has to be able to remove a building, and an owner who holds billing and the team. Seats are not billed — the plan is priced by buildings, not by people.

Part of the plan

Elsewhere, tracking progress against goals can be a tier above compliance. Here it is the same plan. Analytics is part of the plan, not a tier above it. There is no tier above this one, and no per-seat charge.
