EnerG is the KODE Labs energy and sustainability module. You centralize utility data, benchmark buildings, and connect sustainability targets, capital planning, and finance reporting in one place.

## Core capabilities

You use EnerG to collect and govern utility data, then analyze and report on performance across your portfolio.

* **Utility data automation**: Connections such as <Tooltip tip="Arcadia connects to utility provider accounts and retrieves billing and usage data for connected sites.">Arcadia</Tooltip> pull bill and usage data; you supplement with other configured data sources.
* **Performance benchmarking**: You compare buildings using <Tooltip tip="Energy Use Intensity (EUI) is annual energy divided by floor area, typically expressed per square foot or square meter.">EUI</Tooltip>, <Tooltip tip="Water Use Intensity (WUI) is water consumption normalized by floor area or another relevant denominator.">WUI</Tooltip>, and carbon emissions alongside peer and historical views.
* **Energy modeling and <Tooltip tip="Measurement and Verification (M&V) confirms that savings from energy projects are real, using agreed methods and data.">M\&V</Tooltip>**: You apply <Tooltip tip="The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) defines standard approaches for quantifying energy savings.">IPMVP</Tooltip> Option B and Option C models, correlate usage with drivers such as weather, and support energy forecasting.
* **Capital planning**: You define measures and scenarios, estimate savings, and review ROI before you commit funds.
* **Sustainability and compliance**: You track targets, initiatives, and certifications with clear ties to metered outcomes.
* **Financial planning**: You align budgets, accruals, and reporting with meter and bill timelines.

EnerG organizes work in a **portfolio view** and a **building view**. The portfolio view covers `Home`, portfolio `Dashboards`, shared `Data Sources`, and portfolio-wide targets, budgets, and alerts. The building view covers site dashboards, `Building Information`, meters, `Energy Modeling`, and building-level budgets and certifications.

See [Portfolio and building navigation](/products/energ/get-started/navigation) for the full sidebar map. Portfolio articles cover portfolio-only features. Building articles cover features you see after you select a site. EnerG runs alongside other KODE OS modules such as AssetOps so operations data and energy data stay connected.

## Who uses EnerG

**Energy managers** own tariffs, baselines, and savings narratives across sites.

**Sustainability teams** align emissions, water, waste, and certification milestones with metered progress.

**Building operators** reconcile usage anomalies, support metering changes, and feed corrective actions back into workflows.

**Finance teams** use consistent periods, accruals, and capital scenarios so forecasts match billed reality.
