# Building Energy dashboard
> Review building-level energy usage, cost, targets, data quality, billing data tables, and M&V results on the Building Energy dashboard in EnerG
The building **Energy** dashboard shows how one site performs on usage, cost, and baseline comparisons. In the [building view](/products/energ/get-started/navigation#building-view), open `Dashboards` in the left sidebar, then select `Energy`. The page header reads **Energy** with the subtitle *Energy Use, Efficiency, and Performance Overview.*
`Monthly Reports` opens by default. A secondary menu lists other report types such as `Annual Reports`, `Comparison`, and `Interval Trends`. See [Portfolio and building navigation](/products/energ/get-started/navigation#energy-dashboard-report-menu) for the full menu.
## Energy report menu
After you select `Energy` under `Dashboards`, use the secondary menu to switch report types.
| Report | What it shows |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Monthly Reports` | Month-by-month usage or cost with year-over-year and baseline charts |
| `Annual Reports` | Annual summaries by service type and meter |
| `Comparison` | Side-by-side comparison of two time periods |
| `Interval Trends` | Sub-daily charts and heat maps ([Interval Trends](#interval-trends)) |
| `Energy Modeling` | Quick access to [M\&V](/products/energ/energy-modeling/mv-models) and [Forecast](/products/energ/energy-modeling/forecasting) |
| `Target` | Reduction goals, baseline comparison, and variance charts ([Target](#target)) |
| `Data Quality` | Completeness and billing gaps for this building |
| `Data Table` | Raw billing data in a sortable table |
| `Baseline Analysis` | Baseline KPIs and charts ([Baseline Analysis](#baseline-analysis)); configure windows on [Configurations](/products/energ/analytics/baseline-portfolio-configurations#configure-building-baseline-windows) |
Building Energy reports apply to the site you selected in the top bar. Portfolio rollups live on the [Portfolio Energy dashboard](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-dashboards-energy).
## Monthly Reports controls
The control row at the top of **Monthly Reports** sets the metric lens and reporting window.
| Control | Purpose |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Usage / Cost** | Switches every chart between consumption and billed cost (`Emission` appears when your deployment includes it) |
| **Date range** | Select start and end months (for example, `06/22/2025 – 05/22/2026`) |
All charts on the page refresh together when you change the toggle or date range.
## Usage lens
Select **Usage** on the toggle to view consumption charts in kWh (or the unit configured for each service type).
### Usage Compared to Previous Year
The top chart compares current-period usage to the same months in the prior year.
* **Teal bars** — current reporting period
* **Light gray bars** — previous year
* **Striped bars** — accrued or estimated months without final bills
The **Difference** chart below shows the percentage change between periods. Red values indicate increases; teal values indicate decreases.
Treat striped bars as estimates until final bills post and replace accrued values.
### Usage per Service Type
The **Usage per Service Type** chart groups consumption by utility category each month.
Legend colors map to categories such as **Natural Gas**, **Electric**, and **Lighting**. Use this chart to see seasonal fuel shifts, such as higher natural gas in winter months.
### Usage per Meter
The **Usage per Meter** chart breaks monthly consumption down by individual meter or account.
Compare meter bars when you trace a spike to a specific account or equipment feed. Pair this view with [Building meters](/products/energ/buildings/meters) when you need meter configuration detail.
### Usage Compared to Baseline
The **Usage Compared to Baseline** chart compares actual consumption to the baseline you configured for the building.
* **Baseline** — light gray bars
* **Actual** — dark teal bars
* **Striped segments** — projected or incomplete actuals for the month
Configure baselines from **Baseline Analysis** in the report menu. Use [Configure building baseline windows](/products/energ/analytics/baseline-portfolio-configurations#configure-building-baseline-windows) for **Edit Configuration** steps.
## Cost lens
Select **Cost** on the toggle to view billed charges in your configured currency.
### Cost Compared to Previous Year
The layout matches the usage view. **Cost Compared to Previous Year** shows current and prior-year spend by month. The **Difference** chart below reports percentage change in cost.
Green bars represent the current period. Gray bars represent the prior year. Striped bars indicate accrued or estimated cost for months without final bills.
### Cost per Service Type
The **Cost per Service Type** chart groups spend by utility category.
Electric cost typically dominates year-round. Natural gas cost rises in heating months. Use this chart to explain tariff or operations changes by fuel type.
### Cost per Meter
The **Cost per Meter** chart shows monthly spend by meter or account.
### Cost Compared to Baseline
The **Cost Compared to Baseline** chart compares actual spend to your configured cost baseline.
Keep one date range while you switch between **Usage** and **Cost** so month-to-month comparisons stay aligned across charts.
### Blended Rate
The **Blended Rate** view shows utility rate trends by service type. Select **Electric**, **Natural Gas**, **District Steam**, or another configured service type to update the chart and table.
| Element | What it shows |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **TTM Blended Rate** | Trailing twelve-month blended rate for the selected service type |
| **vs. Prior Month** / **vs. Same Month Last Year** | Period comparisons for the current TTM value |
| **Monthly Blended Rate chart** | Calendar-month blended rate bars with a TTM trend line |
| **Historical Rates Reference** | Month-by-month rates by year with average blended rate |
Blended rate is total cost (supply, delivery, fees, taxes, and other pass-throughs) divided by total energy consumption for the same period. TTM blended rate uses the most recent twelve months.
## Annual Reports
Select `Annual Reports` from the Energy secondary menu to compare years for the selected building. The page header and **Usage / Cost** toggle behave the same as Monthly Reports. The date control uses a **year range** (for example, `2021` to `2025`) instead of month-by-month selection.
### Usage lens
With **Usage** selected, the main card is **Usage and Usage per Area**. It contains two bar charts that share the same year axis.
| Chart | What it shows |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Usage per Area** | Energy intensity in **kWh/ft²** by calendar year |
| **Usage Analysis** | Total building consumption in **kWh** by calendar year |
Scroll below the paired charts for additional annual usage views.
#### Usage per Service Type and Usage per Meter
* **Usage per Service Type** — grouped bars by year for **Natural Gas**, **Electric**, **Electric on Site Solar**, and other configured categories
* **Usage per Meter** — grouped bars by year for each meter or account tied to the building
Use **Usage per Service Type** to see fuel mix shifts across years. Use **Usage per Meter** when you isolate one account or submeter.
### Cost lens
Select **Cost** on the toggle to open **Cost and Cost per Area** with the same paired-bar layout.
| Chart | What it shows |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cost Analysis** | Total utility spend in your configured currency by calendar year |
| **Cost per Area** | Cost intensity in **\$/ft²** by calendar year |
#### Cost per Service Type
The **Cost per Service Type** chart groups annual spend by utility category.
Electric cost typically dominates each year. Natural gas adds a smaller fixed component in this view. Compare annual cost charts to [Portfolio Energy dashboard](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-dashboards-energy) Annual Reports when you place one building in portfolio context.
## Comparison
Select `Comparison` from the Energy secondary menu to align utility bill totals with interval meter readings for the same building. The page title reads **Comparison** with the subtitle *Utility vs Interval & Variance.*
### Controls
| Control | Purpose |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Meter pair** | Select the utility meter and the interval meter to compare (for example, `Utility Meter to Shadow Meter`) |
| **Date range** | Set the months included in both charts |
### Usage Comparison
The top chart, **Usage Comparison**, plots monthly **Utility** and **Interval** consumption on one axis in kWh.
* **Solid blue bars** — utility bill totals
* **Blue striped bars** — utility totals marked as accrued when final bills are not yet posted
* **Solid teal bars** — interval meter totals for the same months
Compare bar heights month by month to see whether billed usage tracks sub-daily interval data.
### Variance %
The **Variance %** chart below reports the percentage gap between utility and interval totals for each billing period. Red bars extend downward from the zero line when variance is large. Striped bars match accrued utility months in the chart above.
Use this view with [Meter comparisons](/products/energ/data-quality/meter-comparisons) when you need to validate billing against interval hardware. Open `Data Quality` first when alerts show missing bills for the selected period.
Interval Trends
Interval trends turn high-frequency meter reads into daily charts, overlays, and heat maps. Open this report from the Energy secondary menu when you need sub-daily patterns that monthly or annual charts cannot show.
Expand **Dashboards**, select **Energy**, then click **Interval Trends** in the report menu. If only monthly totals exist, use **Monthly Reports** until interval feeds are available.
Interval trends require sub-daily data from [Arcadia](/products/energ/data-sources/arcadia) interval feeds or [KODE OS](/products/energ/data-sources/kode-os-data-source) meters. On [Building meters](/products/energ/buildings/meters), open a meter and confirm the **Interval Data** tab has reads.
Pick the interval meter from the dropdown. Choose a span long enough to show weekly patterns. Two to four weeks works well for initial diagnostics. Enable temperature or degree-day overlays when you want to separate weather-driven load from operations.
Buildings with only utility billing data do not populate these views.
The default time range is often **Last 90 Days**. Change the span from the control in the page header.
### Daily Energy Usage
The **Daily Energy Usage** card plots interval consumption as teal bars by day. An orange **Temperature** line uses the secondary axis in °F so you can relate load spikes to weather.
Scroll the page for additional interval views on the same date range.
### Open vs closed hours
**Daily Energy Usage: Open vs Closed Hours** splits each day into **Opened Hours** (blue) and **Closed Hours** (gray) so you can see how much load runs outside the building schedule.
**Total Energy Usage: Open vs Closed Hours** summarizes the same split for the full selected period in a single chart.
Compare these charts to the operating schedule on [Building information](/products/energ/buildings/building-information) when after-hours load looks high.
### Hourly Energy Usage
**Hourly Energy Usage** is a heat map with one row per day and columns for each hour of the day. Color intensity reflects kWh, from low usage in teal to high usage in red.
A **Degree Days** chart on the right shares the same date axis. Red bars extend to the right for heating degree days; blue bars extend to the left for cooling degree days. Use it to separate weather-driven load from operational patterns.
Use the heat map to:
* Spot **after-hours usage** when bright cells appear during nights or weekends
* Identify **holiday patterns** as cooler-colored rows
* Compare **weekday versus weekend** profiles against your occupancy schedule
Sparse interval gaps can distort heat maps. Fix data feeds on [Building meters](/products/energ/buildings/meters#interval-data-tab) before you act on a single bright cell.
Use degree-day plots after you confirm interval data quality so correlations reflect real usage rather than data gaps.
### Common diagnostic workflows
| Task | Approach |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Validate occupancy schedules | Compare weekday versus weekend hourly profiles with **Open vs closed hours** |
| Investigate a spike | Narrow the date range to two weeks around the event |
| Evaluate a retrofit | Compare two-week windows before and after the change date |
| Detect equipment drift | Use a multi-month span and watch for gradual baseline shifts |
Read heat map colors against the legend scale so you compare relative intensity across cells, not absolute values.
## Energy Modeling
Expand `Energy Modeling` in the Energy secondary menu to open **M\&V** or **Forecast** without leaving the dashboard. You need a trained M\&V model before results appear. See [Create an M\&V model](/products/energ/energy-modeling/mv-models) to configure baselines and training runs.
### M\&V
Select `M&V` under `Energy Modeling` to review Measurement and Verification results for the building. The page keeps the **Energy** header and adds model-specific controls above the savings summary.
#### Controls
| Control | Purpose |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Model** | Select the baseline or retrofit configuration to analyze (for example, `2022 Baseline`) |
| **Date range** | Set the months included in totals, charts, and the monthly table |
| **View Summary** | Open a condensed summary of the selected model run |
#### Savings summary and metrics
The left column shows portfolio-style totals for the selected model and date range.
* **Total Energy Savings** — net kWh difference between actual and adjusted baseline across the period. Red values mean actual use exceeded the baseline.
* **Total Energy Savings Percentage** — percent change for the same window
The **Metrics** table on the right breaks results down by service type such as **Electric** and **Natural Gas**. Each row compares **Actual**, **Adjusted Baseline**, **Savings**, and **% Savings**. Green values indicate savings; red values indicate over-consumption relative to the adjusted baseline.
Scroll below the summary for charts and the monthly detail table. See [M\&V analysis](/products/energ/energy-modeling/mv-analysis) for accuracy metrics, failed runs, and multiple models per building.
#### Consumption and savings charts
Two stacked charts share the same month axis.
**Consumption** plots **Actual** (teal) and **Adjusted Baseline** (gray) in kWh. Before the **Operation Date**, only actual bars appear. After that date, paired bars show how measured use compares to the weather- and operations-adjusted baseline each month.
**Savings** reports the percent gap between actual and adjusted baseline. Teal bars above zero indicate months where actual use fell below baseline. Red bars below zero indicate months where actual use exceeded baseline.
A vertical dashed **Operation Date** line marks when the measure or retrofit took effect.
#### Monthly expected vs actual consumption
The **Monthly Expected vs Actual Consumption** table lists each month in the selected range with sortable columns.
| Column | What it shows |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Month** | Calendar month in the reporting window |
| **Baseline** | Raw baseline value when configured for the row |
| **Actual** | Measured consumption in kWh |
| **Adjusted Baseline** | Model-adjusted expected use in kWh |
| **Savings** | Difference between adjusted baseline and actual. Green when actual is below baseline; red when actual exceeds baseline |
| **Savings Percentage** | Percent variance for the month |
### Forecast
Select `Forecast` under `Energy Modeling` to project future consumption from a trained model. See [Forecasting](/products/energ/energy-modeling/forecasting) for setup and chart interpretation.
Target
Review how one building performs against active reduction targets. Create and edit goals on [Portfolio targets](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-targets). EnerG applies assigned targets to this building when you open the report here.
From [Portfolio Home](/products/energ/analytics/benchmarking), open a building in the building view.
Expand **Dashboards** in the left sidebar, select **Energy**, then choose **Target** from the Energy report menu.
You can also reach target charts when you drill into a building from portfolio target dashboards.
### Controls
| Control | Purpose |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Break down by service type** | Split charts by utility category when enabled |
| **Target** | Select which reduction goal to display (for example, `2040 Reduction Goal`) |
Charts use the unit configured for the target, such as **kBTU**.
### Charts
Three charts stack on the Target page.
| Chart | What it shows |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Target Energy Comparison** | **Actual** (solid teal), **Target** (dotted blue), and **Baseline** (solid black) trends over time, with savings versus target when the building is under target |
| **Delta from Target** | Monthly gap between actual use and the target trajectory. Red bars mean actual exceeded the target; teal bars mean actual fell below the target |
| **Delta from Baseline** | Monthly difference between actual use and the baseline period. Teal bars below zero indicate savings relative to baseline |
Red bars in **Delta from Target** often grow when the target line slopes down but actual use stays flat. Teal bars in **Delta from Baseline** show months where actual use stayed below the historical baseline.
When **Break down by service type** is on, charts split by utility category so you can see which commodities drive variance from the target line.
Open [Portfolio Home](/products/energ/analytics/benchmarking) when you need building rankings and target progress together. Compare scenarios to goals on [Capital planning](/products/energ/sustainability/capital-planning#scenario-comparison).
## Data Quality
Select `Data Quality` from the Energy secondary menu to review billing coverage for every meter assigned to the building. Use this view before you share monthly or target charts when gaps might skew the story.
### Controls
| Control | Purpose |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Date range** | Limit the timeline and table rows to a start and end date (for example, `06/25/2025 – 05/25/2026`) |
### Bills Data Quality chart
The **Bills Data Quality** chart is a horizontal timeline with one row per meter. Color segments classify each billing period by coverage. For what each legend color means, see [data quality legend](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#data-quality-legend).
Solid green bars across a meter row mean every month in range has complete coverage.
### Billing detail table
The table below the chart lists individual billing records for meters in the selected period. Sort any column to find gaps or outliers. Columns include meter number, coverage type, provider, service type, account, deregulation status, usage, and billing dates.
A **Complete** row with matching start and end dates confirms that period counts toward completeness scoring. See [Data completeness](/products/energ/data-quality/data-completeness) for how scores roll up to the building, and [Data quality overview](/products/energ/data-quality/data-quality-overview) for alerts and portfolio workflows.
## Data Table
Select `Data Table` from the Energy secondary menu to audit line-level billing and calendarized records for the selected building. Use this view when you need to verify a specific meter, charge, or billing period behind a chart.
### Controls
| Control | Purpose |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Period Type** | Control how periods are grouped in the grid |
| **Service tags** | Filter by category with active chips such as `Delivery` or `Full Service` |
| **Date range** | Restrict rows to a start and end date (for example, `05/25/2025 – 05/25/2026`) |
| **Export** | Download the filtered table for offline analysis |
### Billing Period and Calendarized tabs
Switch between two views of the same underlying data.
| Tab | Purpose |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Billing Period** | One row per billing period as utilities report it |
| **Calendarized** | Usage and cost spread across calendar months for consistent reporting |
On **Calendarized**, each row aligns usage and cost to calendar months. The column set matches **Billing Period**, including **Data Origin**, **Start Date**, and **End Date** when you scroll horizontally. Use this tab when monthly reports or targets need month-bound totals rather than irregular bill cycles.
### Table columns
Sort any column with the header arrows. Scroll horizontally to reach all fields, including meter, service type, charges, usage, `Estimated`, and `Data Origin`. For every column definition, see [data table columns](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#data-table-columns).
Rows with **Data Origin** of `System Accrual` fill gaps until a final provider bill arrives. Check **Estimated** and the billing dates before you use accrual rows in compliance or year-end reporting, even when **Estimated** is `false`.
### Pagination
The footer shows page numbers and **Lines per page** (for example, 1–31 of 31 on **Calendarized**). Use the arrows when the building has more rows than fit on one page.
Compare building rows to the [Portfolio Energy dashboard](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-dashboards-energy) Data Table when you audit the same meters across multiple properties.
Baseline Analysis
Select **Baseline Analysis** from the Energy secondary menu to compare actual energy use against configured baselines, expected use, and weather-normalized values. For how these comparisons work, see [Baselines and weather normalization](/products/energ/concepts/baselines-and-weather-normalization).
Before you rely on these charts in targets or M\&V, set baseline windows on [Configure building baseline windows](/products/energ/analytics/baseline-portfolio-configurations#configure-building-baseline-windows). Click **Edit Configuration** on this report to open the energy, water, and waste baseline editor.
### Controls
| Control | Purpose |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Date range** | Set the months included in KPIs, charts, and tables (for example, `06/25/2025 – 05/25/2026`) |
| **Service type** | Filter to one utility category when the dropdown is set |
| **Building** | Confirm the site in view when your account can access multiple locations |
### Summary KPIs
Four cards at the top roll up performance for the selected range.
| KPI | What it shows |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Actual Usage** | Total measured consumption in kWh for the period |
| **Baseline Usage** | Total usage from the configured baseline model |
| **Actual vs Expected Usage** | Gap between actual and model-expected use |
| **Actual vs Weather Normalized Usage** | Gap between actual and weather-adjusted use |
### Monthly Analytics chart
The **Monthly Analytics** chart combines usage bars with degree-day lines.
| Series | What it shows |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Baseline Usage** (gray) | Configured baseline consumption by month |
| **Actual Usage** (teal) | Measured consumption by month |
| **Weather Normalized Usage** (green) | Usage adjusted for weather |
| **Expected Usage** (pink) | Model-expected consumption by month |
| **HDD (65°F base)** (red line) | Heating degree days on the right axis |
| **CDD (65°F base)** (blue line) | Cooling degree days on the right axis |
Months without final bills may show only baseline bars while actuals are still accruing.
### Monthly detail tables
Scroll below the chart for month-by-month tables. Each table uses the same month columns across the selected range.
**Actual Usage** lists **Baseline Usage**, **Actual Usage**, **Expected Usage**, and **Weather Normalization Usage** in kWh. Dashes indicate months still open or not yet calendarized.
**Weather Data** compares **15Y Average Temperature** and **Actual Temperature** in °F.
**Heating Degree Days (HDD)** and **Cooling Degree Days (CDD)** tables include long-term averages, **65°F base** values, and **Delta** columns so you can see how current weather diverges from the norm.
Use these tables when you need exact kWh or degree-day values for a single month. Pair the dashboard with **Usage Compared to Baseline** on [Monthly Reports](/products/energ/analytics/building-dashboards-energy#usage-compared-to-baseline) for a simpler month-over-month view.
## Export Energy dashboard data
