3.2 Add monthly usage data via ESPM spreadsheet upload, or manually
This article outlines the steps needed to add monthly energy usage data manually to your property in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. If you would like to set up an automatic data sync with your utility provider(s), please refer to: 3.1. How to add energy data automatically: Set Up Data Exchange With Utility Provider(s) In ESPM (Help Desk Article).
STEP 1 - Once you have created your meter(s), you are now ready to add monthly energy use information. There are two options to manually add monthly energy data to your meter in ESPM. Option 1 (Add monthly data in bulk from an excel spreadsheet) is the recommended option if you are uploading data for more than one meter, as it can help minimize data entry errors.
Option 1: Add monthly data in bulk from an excel spreadsheet
Download the single-meter spreadsheet, add the required information
and upload the spreadsheet to ‘Upload data in bulk for this meter’
Option 2: Add monthly data manually based on your monthly energy bill(s)
Click ‘add entry’ and add the required information for each month, then click ‘Save Bills’
Click ‘Continue’ to move on to the final step of setting up your meters.
Note: You are not required to enter monthly data right away to finish setting up your meters.
STEP 2 - Select which meters to include for your property and confirm if these meters represent the total energy usage of your property, or only represent the partial energy usage of the building.
When you have completed this step, click ‘Apply Selections’.
