In the early 1980's people first started to realize all the ways in which computers could be used to make the workplace more efficient. FASER--the first energy accounting software to hit the market-was created in response to a growing demand for a software program that could help large organizations process hundreds of utilities accounts per month. FASER did that and much more, and its use spread quickly. Now, some twenty-odd years later, FASER is still going strong, and has even spawned a new generation of energy accounting software based on its principles.
One of the main functions of Energy Accounting Software is utilities bill verification. Even the power company can make a mistake now and then, but with energy accounting software programs these mistakes can be caught and corrected before overpayment occurs. For large companies and agencies, a billing error could result in thousands of dollars in overpayment, so staying on top of things is important.
Energy CAP: the Next
Generation of Energy Accounting Software
When the creators of FASER decided to design a new generation of energy
accounting software, their goal was to make a program that was every bit as
useful as FASER, but even more powerful, flexible, and easy to use. What they
came up with was Energy CAP Enterprise and Energy CAP Professional. Both
Energy CAP programs use Bill Auditor to eliminate billing errors, and they
also include many other helpful features like submeter reading, cost avoidance
reports, and inefficient facilities identification.
A good energy saving software program can help large organizations motivate occupants to conserve energy by monitoring usage. It's impossible for a Fortune 1000 company to keep track of thousands of light switches and thermostats, but with a program like Energy CAP Enterprise, they can track each department's energy usage and spot areas in which conservation is in order.
