Preparing meter extracts before a scoping call

A short checklist so your first conversation with an energy reporting team is spent on decisions, not missing files.

Electrical meters and panels in a plant room

Scoping calls move faster when the building already has a folder ready. You do not need perfect data — you need enough for us to see gaps.

Bring:

  1. Twelve consecutive monthly electricity invoices (PDF is fine).
  2. Chilled-water or district-cooling statements if billed separately.
  3. A one-page list of meters: location, what they serve, and whether they are landlord or tenant.
  4. Any BMS or logger CSV for the last ninety days, even if columns look messy.
  5. Notes on major events: chiller replacement, vacant floors, COVID-era occupancy dips, typhoon closures.

Label files by month and tower name. Avoid “final_final_v3.” If a submeter was replaced mid-year, write the date in the filename.

With that pack in hand, a forty-five-minute call can decide whether you need a baseline assessment first or can move straight to a dashboard commission.
