    Thanks for your patience while we work on the request.


    2023 Q3 update:-


    Partial Data Sync mode is now available for api data integration with the Energy Star Portfolio Manager(R) platform.

    Under the partial data sync mode, only utility (energy & water) data will be uploaded to the Energy Star Portfolio Manager(R), without the inclusion of Property Use Details data.

    Existing energy star api request buttons have been renamed to ‘Request ENERGY STAR(R) Score w Full Data Sync' throughout the platform, and a new button 'Request ENERGY STAR(R) Score w Partial Data Sync' has been added alongside existing buttons where applicable. The new partial data sync upload also supports bulk operation by using multi-select on Locations grid.

    For more details on the feature, please refer to the Energy Star - Upload Data to ESPM knowledge base article.

    Thanks for raising the idea through Aha.

    We have conducted a detailed analysis of the request and have worked out a plan to enhance the functionality in this area.

    In Q3 we will be looking at introducing new functions to allow API upload of Envizi account (ESPM ‘meter’) data only to ESPM, without synchronizing property details between Envizi and ESPM. This will be added in addition to current functionality. Under this option, property details will need to be maintained separately in ESPM, and Envizi would be used as a ‘account’/’meter’ data source only.

    In Q4 we will be re-visiting the current functionality of synchronizing property details, to carry forward all time periods in Envizi property details account to ESPM, and assign corresponding ‘Current As Of’ time labels for each time period. With this option Envizi would be considered as the source of truth for all data points required for ESPM, including both ‘account’/’meter’ and property use details would need to be maintained in Envizi.
