Configure building properties, occupancy data, and operational details in EnerG
You configure building properties, occupancy, and operations at the building level in EnerG. The product pulls high-level attributes from Launchpad when available, and you complete energy-specific fields through a five-step wizard in KODE OS.
From the EnerG Home page, click a building in the left sidebar. Click Go to Building at the top of the detail panel.

Open Building Information
In the building-level left sidebar, click Building Information. The Building Data Entry page opens with a five-step progress wizard on the left.

High-level attributes synchronize from Launchpad when the integration is active. You confirm these values so downstream energy metrics stay aligned with portfolio records.
Click Edit Informations in the top-right corner to enable editing across all five wizard steps. Complete each step using the Next button at the bottom, or click any step number in the left sidebar to jump directly.
The General Info step captures core building attributes. Launchpad supplies baseline values such as total area, address, and year built. You verify these and fill any gaps.
Primary cooling equipment type. Drives cooling degree-day correlations in energy models.
Primary HVAC selections drive downstream cooling and heating degree-day correlations. Select the systems that represent the majority of conditioned load.
A card at the bottom of this step shows the detected property type with an optional expandable section for conditional fields such as retail configuration.
The Weather Data step configures degree-day calculations and historical weather collection.
Weather Data step with historical collection banner and base temperatures
When weather is already available, a banner shows the earliest date in the system. Click Collect Historical Data to backfill an earlier period when you need a longer record for models or baselines.
Reference temperature for heating degree-day calculations. Typical values range from 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Show What heating and cooling degree days represent
Heating and cooling degree days measure how much outdoor weather departs from your base temperatures during each day. Higher values indicate greater demand for heating or cooling.
The Envelope step describes the building shell performance. You capture facade type, condition, window characteristics, and roof type for documentation and future modeling.
Mark a building Deactivated when it is divested or no longer active in the portfolio. Deactivated buildings show a status tag so analysts can exclude them from live benchmarking and budget rollups while historical records remain available.
Building area can change after renovations or re-measurement. You maintain a time series so historical performance reflects the correct denominator for EUI calculations.
1
Add an area record
In Building Information, locate the area history section and add a new entry.
2
Set effective dates
Enter start and end dates that bound when that area value applies.
3
Close the row when area changes
Add the next interval when the measured area changes, then click Save.
Close the prior area row on the last day it was valid before you add the next value. Complete the property-type conditional fields on General Info before you run annual reporting so templates stay complete.
