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.

NEO and B3 Benchmarking

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

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
