The left panel groups meters by service category: Energy (Electric, Lighting, Natural Gas, Steam), Water, and Waste. Each meter displays its number and a badge indicating its type.
utility — the meter receives monthly billing data from a provider
interval — the meter receives high-frequency (hourly or 15-minute)
both — the meter has utility billing data and interval data

The main table lists every meter assigned to the building. For what each column shows, such as Level, Completeness, and Data Source, see Meter table columns.
Click Compare Meters in the top-right corner to open Meter Comparison Sets. Check Completeness in the meters table first. Low scores often mean billing data is missing before a comparison is meaningful.See Meter comparisons for the full workflow, screenshots, and threshold guidance.
Select any meter from the list to open its detail view. The header shows the meter number, a date range picker, and action buttons Edit Meter Data, + Add Meter Data, and a three-dot overflow menu for bulk import.

Meter detail with General Information and Overview charts
The detail view includes five tabs: Overview, Data Quality, Data Table, Interval Data, and Properties.
The General Information card summarizes account metadata from the utility feed, such as service address, account number, and connection status. For each field, see General information fields.
The Overview tab shows two side-by-side charts for the selected year.
Monthly Consumption per Billing Period — raw usage totals per billing cycle, with Provider data in teal and Accrued data in striped bars
Calendarized Monthly Consumption — the same data after spreads it across calendar months so January always means January
Toggle between Bill Default Usage and Metric Usage above the charts to switch the consumption source. The first screenshot above shows Bill Default Usage.
The Data Quality tab shows billing coverage for the selected meter and lists each bill period in a table below the chart. Use it when you investigate completeness gaps. See Data completeness for how scores roll up and how to fix common causes.

Interval Hourly Consumption is a heat map with hours of day on the horizontal axis and days on the vertical axis. Color intensity reflects kWh for each hour.A Degree Days chart on the right shares the same day axis. Red bars extend right for heating degree days; blue bars extend left for cooling degree days. Use it to relate load shape to weather.
Interval Hourly Consumption heat map with Degree Days
Brighter cells during business hours often indicate base building load. Teal cells in early morning hours suggest equipment off or setback mode.
Interval Daily Consumption plots total daily usage as teal bars. An orange Temperature line on the secondary axis shows average daily temperature in °F when weather data is available.
Interval Daily Consumption with temperature overlay
Daily Consumption (year view) is a heat map with one row per day of month (1–31) and one column per calendar month. Color intensity reflects daily kWh across the selected year.
Daily Consumption heat map by day of month and calendar month
