What is Green Button Data?
Green Button data is your energy consumption information delivered in a standardized, machine-readable format that ensures consistency across different utilities. Instead of relying on PDF bills or multiple online portals, you can access detailed usage data – sometimes down to 15-minute intervals – showing exactly how much electricity, gas, or water your business has used and when. Think of it like a digital “bank statement” for energy that provides the transparency needed to spot usage spikes, compare consumption over time, and verify billing accuracy.
How does ActiveAI™ access my utility data?
ActiveAI™ uses Green Button’s “Connect My Data” (CMD) feature, which automates the data collection process. Once you grant permission, ActiveAI™ continuously receives fresh usage data from your utility provider without requiring manual downloads. This provides ongoing insights and real-time monitoring across multiple locations automatically.
What's the difference between "Download My Data" and "Connect My Data"?
Download My Data (DMD): You manually log into your utility account and download an XML file of your historical usage. This is ideal for occasional analysis or one-time data sharing.
Connect My Data (CMD): This automates the process by allowing ActiveAI™ to access your energy data continuously. Perfect for businesses wanting ongoing insights, real-time monitoring, and automatic data updates without repeated manual downloads.
Which Ontario utilities support Green Button Data?
The Ontario Energy Board has mandated that all utilities offer Green Button data to consumers. ActiveAI™ integrates with every Ontario utility provider that supports Green Button standards, allowing you to consolidate data from multiple utility sources in one platform.
How can ActiveAI™ help reduce my energy costs?
ActiveAI™ provides interval-level visibility that reveals exactly when demand peaks occur, allowing you to:
- Shift energy-intensive tasks to off-peak periods for lower rates
- Identify inefficiencies like lights left on overnight or equipment running unnecessarily
- Optimize HVAC schedules and equipment operation times
- Choose the most cost-effective utility rate plans based on your actual usage patterns
- Calculate ROI for energy efficiency upgrades and equipment investments
How does billing verification work?
ActiveAI™ continuously cross-references your validated consumption data against utility bills, automatically flagging any discrepancies. The platform can recalculate expected charges based on your actual usage and alert you to potential overcharges, metering errors, or billing mistakes – helping you resolve issues quickly with your utility provider.
Can I track multiple properties or locations?
Yes! ActiveAI™ consolidates data from multiple utility accounts and locations into a single dashboard. Because Green Button uses a standardized format, you can compare buildings and facilities on an apples-to-apples basis, making it easy to identify which sites have unusual usage patterns or efficiency opportunities.
How does carbon footprint tracking work?
ActiveAI™ monitors your organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in real-time based on your energy consumption data. The platform simplifies sustainability reporting and helps align your energy management strategy with corporate environmental commitments, providing the data needed for ESG reporting and environmental responsibility initiatives.
Is my energy data secure?
Yes. Green Button data uses secure, standardized protocols for data sharing. ActiveAI™ follows industry-standard security practices to protect your energy information, and you maintain full control over data access permissions through your utility provider’s Green Button authorization system.
How quickly can I see results?
Many businesses start seeing insights immediately after connecting their data. Cost-saving opportunities like schedule optimizations can often be implemented within days. More substantial efficiency improvements typically show measurable results within the first few months of implementation.
Do I need technical expertise to use ActiveAI™?
No. ActiveAI™ is designed to be user-friendly for energy managers, property managers, and business owners without requiring technical expertise. The platform provides intuitive dashboards, clear recommendations, and automated insights that make energy management accessible to any professional.
