GRES isn't a utility bill tracking program, but rather an energy accounting system. GRES guides you through the steps of saving energy, from initial planning to education and execution within your facility. GRES provides a method of keeping track of all your savings, and offers you multiple ways to display this information in graphical formats. The method that GRES uses is one of three steps: Analysis, Implementation, and Monitoring. The first step, analysis, includes the initial assessment, the plan, and the training. From there, the implementation includes development, creation, utilization, and finally the upgrade. Once the changes have been made, GRES provides you with the ability to monitor your energy performance, and track your savings.
An essential element in saving building operating costs and improving the
environment is to ensure that a facility is viewed as an integral operation -
equipment and operating practices work together to realize possible gains.
Realizing the vision of a sustainable future by cost-effectively "greening"
buildings required GRES to develop strategies that sustainably integrate
operating processes and the most appropriate technologies any business plan.
GRES provides three broad types of service to deliver this integration:
planning, education, facilities.
