How do I use Energy Profiler Online?

Energy Profiler Online is so easy to use - and it literally puts volumes of data at your fingertips!

Login

To start a session, simply click on "Access EPO" at the left-hand side of this screen. At the Login screen, enter your User ID and Password.

Select Customer

After you've logged in, you will see the "Select Customer" screen. Highlight your selection by pointing and clicking on the line, then click the "Continue" button. If you are a customer with multiple locations, you can select multiple lines by holding down the control key and highlighting each individually.

Select Date Range/Accounts

Once you have selected an account, you will be able to choose whether you want to view the entire account or selected meters individually. To select specific meters, click on the "Meters" button and then click on the boxes to the left of the meters you want to select. You can also specify the date range you would like to view. Once you have selected a date range or meters, click on "Load Profiles" to view the interval data in a line graph or choose "Export" to download the information.

Export

When you select "Export" to download the interval data to your desktop, you will be given several options for the way the data is displayed:

• CSV format displays the meter data in rows, with columns representing each interval period.
• CMEP, California Meter Exchange Protocol, is a straightforward, comma-separated format for the exchange of meter data.
• PRN format displays the meter data in columns, with rows representing each interval period. This is the format the company has historically used when presenting interval data to customers. When downloaded, interval data from multiple meters will be displayed in the same column, with data from the second meter displayed below that of the first, and so on.
• Meter Interval Length is the default setting, which shows data in fifteen-minute intervals.
• Convert to Hourly Intervals - Select this to view the interval data in one-hour intervals, as opposed to fifteen-minute intervals.

Just select the options you desire and click "Continue" to download. You may need to alter the formatting of certain cells or columns in your spreadsheet, as your software program may drop initial zeros from account or meter numbers.

Preferences

While you are logged on to EPO, you may find that you would like to change the settings on your account. Select the "Preferences" button at the left of your screen to adjust items such as the graph style you view, default levels, and your password settings.

Please note that only one password is allowed per company. If you choose to change the password, please make others within your organization aware of this change.

When you are done with your session, simply click on the "Logout" button, at the lower left.
