How an Energy Manager Saved $96,000 in 7 Months

Note: This post was originally published last year, but many of our current readers missed it. Since then, Riverside County has saved $113,000.

Energy Manager Janet Purchase emailed us with good news. Just seven months after implementing EnergyCAP energy managment software, Riverside County, CA, had already saved $96,000. This was most of the County's initial investment in buying EnergyCAP.

Janet Purchase had made a good purchase! But how did she save that sum for the County? 

In a video interview, I asked her these questions:

1. Why did you purchase EnergyCAP?
2. What was the financial incentive you received from your local government partnership?
3. What error did your utility bill entry staff find?
4. How did bill auditing return money to the County?
5. Beyond the dollar savings, what other benefits have you found?
