Energy and utility teams are navigating rising costs, a changing grid, and an explosion of AI, all while being asked to work smarter than ever. EnergyCAP CEO Shawn Lankton will open Catalyst with a look at the trends shaping the industry, how customers are responding, and how EnergyCAP is evolving alongside them. He’ll also share how AI is showing up across EnergyCAP, from flagship experiences like Watts AI to behind-the-scenes intelligence improving bill processing, analysis, forecasting, and more.
Managing a massive federal utility portfolio—such as the infrastructure at Kennedy Space Center—introduces unique structural challenges to energy modeling. While EnergyCAP provides robust tools for percentage-based utility allocations, calculating those exact percentages requires navigating highly variable room compositions, multi-tenant chargebacks, and the integration of continuous-draw, zero-square-foot infrastructure (e.g., standalone pump stations and remote warning sirens).
To streamline this workflow, LatEX code was developed to serve as a computational bridge between raw facility databases and EnergyCAP. This pre-processing methodology automatically ingests space-composition data, applies weighted energy-intensity factors, and executes fixed-load overrides for zero-footprint equipment. By translating these complex engineering realities into normalized, portfolio-wide percentage splits prior to import, the engine allows facility managers to fully leverage EnergyCAP's allocation capabilities. This synergistic approach ensures highly accurate tenant chargebacks while completely protecting the integrity of portfolio Energy Use Intensity (EUI) reporting by eliminating the need to "spoof" square footage for standalone equipment.
Learn how to improve bill processing efficiency through advanced workflows and system integrations. This session focuses on reducing manual work, improving accuracy, and connecting EnergyCAP with your AP and GL systems.
Covers system setup and configuration basics, including navigating the platform, setting up key elements like custom fields, and a first look at Watts AI. Designed to help new users get oriented and comfortable in EnergyCAP.
Take a deep dive into EnergyCAP’s Chargeback Module in this hands-on workshop designed for energy managers, analysts, and system administrators responsible for internal utility cost recovery. This session will explore the full range of chargeback functionality — from basic bill splitting to advanced multi-layered distribution models. Attendees will gain practical insights into setting up complex allocation scenarios, applying calculation rules, and using EnergyCAP to drive transparency, accuracy, and efficiency in utility chargebacks across departments, buildings, or campuses.
Covers bill entry fundamentals and how to manage bills once they're in the system. Learn the different methods of bill entry, including bulk entry options, entering historical bills, individual bill entry, and Bill Capture services, plus how audits help you track what still needs attention after entry.
Explore how to identify the most impactful opportunities for energy efficiency projects (ECMs) and what to do next once they are identified. This session covers planning projects, quantifying savings, and tracking performance over time.

Walks through object setup, including how objects are structured, creating your data hierarchy, and bulk setup with spreadsheets for building at scale. Learn how proper setup supports accurate billing, reporting, and analysis.
Get hands-on with EnergyCAP's budgeting and accrual tools. This session walks through setting up budgets and running accruals directly in the app, plus the practical tips and gotchas that keep your data clean and accurate.
UCF manages six utility plants and 700+ meters across electric, water, gas, chilled water, reclaim, and sewer, all feeding into EnergyCAP for billing, auditing, and cost avoidance reporting. This session walks through how their team moved from manual monthly reads to interval data they can actually rely on.
