Who we are
Established in 2012, ClearlyEnergy specializes in climate policy analysis, climate program management, and software development. ClearlyEnergy, an 80% women-owned certified small business, works at the nexus of public policy and software solutions using data-driven analytics and reporting to enable the energy transition. We are uniquely qualified to facilitate residential and commercial building energy programs through personalized policy development and implementation support. Our projects include benchmarking and building performance standards, carbon accounting and disclosure, energy-efficient mortgages, virtual residential audits, and automated energy models. ClearlyEnergy’s suite of software solutions are designed to facilitate emissions reduction programs in a streamlined and equitable manner.
Areas of Expertise
Buildings
ClearlyEnergy is a thought leader in the field of building performance standards. Our proprietary software, Building Energy Analysis Manager (BEAM), aggregates benchmarking data and performs automatic compliance tracking based on jurisdictions specific benchmarking or building performance standards policy. BEAM was developed by leveraging partnerships with the EPA, DOE, and National Labs to ensure we created a forward-thinking energy solution. BEAM is used by a diverse selection of state and local jurisdictions across the country that range in size, bandwidth, and implementation starting points.
Homes
ClearlyEnergy works with community partners to add transparency to home energy costs and manage both voluntary and compliance residential energy disclosure programs. ClearlyEnergy developed the Automated Energy Model and the Remotely app to help homeowners complete and review a residential energy audit of their home. This information aids current, and future, home owners in understanding their home’s energy costs, consumption, and emissions and can assist lenders in screening candidate homes for energy mortgages.
Climate Solutions
ClearlyEnergy utilizes its skills and capabilities within software development, energy modelling, stakeholder engagement, training, research and analysis, program management, and technical assistance to support states, jurisdictions, and organizations with their targeted energy efficiency projects and policy development and implementation. Examples of specific projects include supporting West Virginia in the creation of an inter-agency energy and water use data communication tool; supporting Cambridge, MA in tracking building compliance towards their goal of achieving carbon neutrality across buildings; developing and maintaining Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP), the Home Energy Labelling Information eXchange (HELIX) database that populates real estate listings with home energy information; developing the software for NEEP’s Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump List (ASHP) and supplemental sizing and visualization tools; and providing energy burden analyses and greenhouse gas disclosure to financial institutions to support residential loans.
