Abstract:
| Regulation, rising utility costs, and AI capabilities are converging to make energy metering business-critical, yet many organizations still struggle to justify investments because executives see meters as cost centers rather than strategic assets. Unlike LED retrofits or HVAC upgrades that deliver immediate returns, metering requires purpose and strategic implementation to create value.
This session explores how to shift metering from perceived cost to strategic asset by connecting it to urgent business drivers while building the data culture necessary for success. We’ll cover strategies for connecting metering investment to urgent business pressures, including regulatory compliance with expanding Building Performance Standards and electricity costs that have risen over 20% since 2020. The session demonstrates a phased implementation approach that right-sizes the initial scope for maximum value. We’ll show how centering on people and their priorities ensures stakeholders understand the business potential and extract the most value from their metering investments. Learning Objectives: |
