Net Energy Optimizer + B3 Benchmarking
NEO + B3 Benchmarking:
Data Meets Design for Operational Efficiency
NEO and B3 Benchmarking are now integrated to provide quick access to generate an energy model then import the analysis into B3 to visualize ‘as-designed’ results and plan for future improvements.
Why B3 + NEO?
|
Challenge |
Without the integration |
With B3 + NEO |
|
Setting credible performance targets |
Manual spreadsheets and guesswork |
Point-and-click CO₂, energy-use, or cost-savings targets—auto-populated with your live utility data |
|
Creating energy models |
Weeks of data wrangling |
One-click export from B3 populates NEO with geometry, schedules & bills |
|
Calibrating models to reality |
Painstaking baselining |
NEO self-calibrates to your B3 utility history so results align with the real world |
|
Testing retrofit ideas |
Separate tools & endless file swaps |
Model ECMs in NEO, then sync results back to B3’s Improvements tab for side-by-side comparisons |
|
Portfolio-level visibility |
Project files scattered everywhere |
Roll up “as-designed” savings across every building and track progress to a single target year |
Key Features
- Set Targets & Milestones
Create science-based CO₂-reduction, energy-savings, or cost-savings goals right in B3’s Improvements page. Pin milestones to corporate ESG commitments, local Building Performance Standards, or your own stretch objectives.
- Net-Energy Optimization Workflow
- Import: Send building geometry, space types, and billed data from B3 to NEO with one click.
- Analyze: NEO auto-generates a calibrated energy model in minutes—no modeling PhD required.
- Optimize: Drag-and-drop Energy Conservation Measures, stack scenarios, and see live payback & ROI.
- Sync: Push the modeled results (EUI, CO₂, annual $) back into B3, populating the Improvements dashboard with verified numbers.
- Portfolio Goal Setting
Select a portfolio-wide target year—say 2030—and watch B3 visualize cumulative “as-designed” savings across every property. Instantly spot gaps, allocate capital where it matters most, and keep executives updated with board-ready graphics.
Built for Today’s Demands
- BPS-Ready: Track progress toward New York’s LL97, Washington’s CBPS, Denver’s Energize Denver, and every other emerging standard—all in one place.
- Seamless Data Flow: Forget CSV chaos. Authentication is secure, transfers are automatic, and data integrity is maintained end-to-end.
- Actionable Insights, Not Just Reports: Move from “what happened” to “what’s next,” arming your team with clear retrofit roadmaps and investment-grade numbers.
- Portfolio & Project Views: Drill down to a single AHU replacement or zoom out to a 10-million-sq-ft portfolio—metrics stay perfectly aligned.
