The iPlan™ Energy Governance solution is a comprehensive tool for managing all of your energy and emissions projects. It compiles and analyzes each project’s planning, budgeting, tracking, measurement, verification and monitoring data, all in a secure, easy-to-configure and easy-to-use web-based application.
Built around proven engineering and economic models, iPlan Energy helps you improve the financial, energy and environmental performance of buildings and infrastructure, reducing costs and risks while assuring fiscally and environmentally responsible operations. Utilizing built-in energy performance data and KPIs, energy auditing, building systems engineering algorithms and lifecycle cost models, iPlan Energy is the innovative, cost-effective way to:
- Inform lifecycle investment planning and budgeting decisions
- Manage funding sources, capital needs and budget requirements
- Administer alignment of funding sources with energy savings program opportunities
- Validate economic growth strategies through powerful metrics that substantiate
energy savings, GHG emission standards, ROI and improved environmental quality
- Reduce the cost of planning energy project investments
- Provide comprehensive stakeholder reporting on energy program performance

Perform Best Practice Energy Assessments
iPlan Energy Governance integrates the Facility Energy Decision System (FEDS) energy analysis tool, which creates a comprehensive knowledgebase to support decisions related to fuel-neutral, technology independent, integrated energy resource planning and acquisition. Developed by the U.S. Department of Energy Pacific Northwest National Lab, this critical energy assessment tool utilizes the NIST Building Lifecycle Cost Model, which provides computational economic analysis of a building’s energy improvements and capital investments.
The iPlan Energy Model provides:
- Minimum lifecycle cost configuration of a facility’s energy generation and consumption infrastructure
- Analysis of the results and impact of renewable energy technologies
- Recommendations for energy retrofit projects as part of an optimization model
- Post retrofit financial, energy and emissions budgets
iPlan Energy Governance also includes the ability to create knowledge about environmental quality. The Lifecycle Emission Monitoring function accurately captures data on Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and other air pollutant emissions associated with your facilities. The data is stored centrally, is accessible alongside all other energy information and provides the abilty to track, monitor and manage remediation strategies across programs, projects, buildings, sites and regions.
