EnergyCAP Implementation

Naming Conventions

Naming conventions are critical to the quality of data and thus the success of the goal to reduce energy by 20% by 2020. Please follow the naming conventions detailed in the “how to” documents that are found on the implementation page.

Note:  Naming conventions are necessary because these elements are shared by everyone in the database and must be unique in a standardized way. 

Contact Us!

Please email 20x2020@omes.ok.gov if:

  • You are stuck on any part of the database and can’t find the answer
  • This newsletter is being forwarded to you
  • You need new EnergyCAP users created, to reset a password or questions about the database.

Have you gathered Utility Data?

Building Portfolio

Many organizations have started setting up their building portfolio in the EnergyCAP software. We encourage you to continue working through that process, since each agency is required to ensure their data is entered into the EnergyCAP software. However we understand that it may take time to fully set up your building portfolio, define your meters, and enter every data point all the way back to the baseline. 

Utility Bills

If you would like to get a head-start on energy savings and take advantage of the fee-free period, ES2 will begin reviewing your available, raw utility data to better understand your energy savings opportunities and provide additional support. This service can be provided before you have completed the detailed data entry in EnergyCAP!  ES2 is happy to begin reviewing copies of your utility bills in their original form, which you can share by email, mail or by making arrangements for ES2 to pick up copies from your office. 

If you have successfully gathered utility bills from 2012 and on, please contact Morgan Miller of ES2 at mmiller@es2ok.com or (405) 888-5665 to arrange transfer of the data.
