Energy Efficiency (EE) - Savings

The Energy Efficiency - Savings subject area contains data elements about the energy savings achieved through Oracle Utilities Opower products. Savings data is organized into groupings called measurements. Each measurement includes a population of utility customers who received one or more Oracle Utilities Opower products during a particular month and year. Information about each measurement is shown in the Measurement Name element defined below.

Note: Depending on your setup and configuration, your savings data may be the result of customers either using a single product (such as Home Energy Reports) or a combination of products working together to contribute to the savings. Contact your Delivery Team if you have any questions.
