Utility Intelligence
for Every
Commercial Property.
See Every Dollar. Catch Every Spike. Cut Costs Before They Compound.
CRELYTIC Energy Dashboard is the utility cost intelligence platform built for commercial real estate. Upload a utility bill, AI parses it instantly, and the dashboard reveals cost trends, demand spikes, and cost-per-SF benchmarking insights across electric and water — replacing spreadsheets and annual energy audits with a live, always-on command center.
What Sets Energy Dashboard Apart
Five capabilities working together to replace your manual utility cost tracking workflow.
AI-Powered Bill Parsing
Utility bills arrive as PDFs from FPL, Duke Energy, municipal water authorities — every provider uses a different format. Drop a bill into the dashboard and the AI parser automatically detects the utility type (electric vs. water/sewer), extracts cost, usage, demand, and billing period, then presents a structured preview for confirmation. One click adds it to the dataset. Works with FPL, municipal water authorities, and any text-based utility bill format. Optional Claude API integration handles non-standard or complex bill layouts. Pair with CRELYTIC Spotlight for complete single-asset operational visibility.
When your March FPL bill arrives for a 155,000 SF office — $26,000, 205,920 kWh, 415 kW demand — the parser extracts all four data points in seconds. No manual entry. No transcription errors. The dashboard immediately recalculates your KPIs, trend lines, and cost-per-SF benchmarks.
Cost Per RSF Benchmarking
Knowing you spent $28,000 on electric last month means nothing without context. Is that high for a building your size? Your class? Your market? Energy Dashboard automatically calculates annualized utility cost per rentable square foot and benchmarks it against market ranges for your asset class and geography. The KPI card updates in real time as new bills are added, giving you a running answer to "are my utility costs in line?"
A 155,000 RSF Class A office in Florida with $3.12/SF annualized utility cost sits in the middle of the $2.50–$4.50/SF benchmark range. But if that number climbs to $4.80 over three months, the dashboard surfaces the trend immediately — before it shows up in your operating statement.
Demand Spike Detection & Seasonality Analysis
Electric demand charges can represent 30–50% of a commercial electric bill, but most property managers only look at total cost. A demand spike in a single 15-minute interval can set your demand charge for the entire month. Energy Dashboard tracks peak demand (kW) separately from consumption (kWh) and flags when peak demand exceeds the trailing average by more than 30%. Seasonality analysis compares summer vs. winter cost averages and quantifies the swing, suggesting specific mitigation strategies like pre-cooling, HVAC scheduling, and load-shedding.
When your August demand hits 530 kW — 24% above your 427 kW average — the AI flags it immediately. The insight explains: "Peak demand is 24% above average. Demand response or load-shedding during afternoon peaks could reduce demand charges." That's actionable intelligence, not a year-end audit finding.
Multi-Utility Trend Analysis
Electric and water/sewer costs are usually tracked separately — if they're tracked at all. But utility costs interact: cooling tower water consumption drives both the water bill and the electric bill. The Monthly Cost Trend chart overlays electric and water/sewer costs as stacked bars with usage trend lines (kWh and gallons) on a dual axis. A 12-month rolling average line shows the long-term trajectory. The Spend Breakdown donut shows the all-time cost split. Underwriting models from CRELYTIC Engine feed directly into utility budgeting and variance analysis.
Your June electric bill jumped 18% but water only rose 4%. The dashboard shows the correlation: demand hit 468 kW (cooling season peak) while water stayed flat — confirming the HVAC system, not irrigation or cooling towers, is driving the increase. That targets your next operational review.
AI Energy Analyst
Utility data is only useful if someone interprets it. The Energy AI panel provides three capabilities in one interface: automated insights that surface peak months, cost trends, demand anomalies, benchmarking, and seasonality analysis every time data changes; a conversational chat where you can ask natural-language questions about your utility data; and bill upload with AI parsing. The AI is grounded in your actual property data — every answer references specific months, costs, and usage figures from your dataset.
Ask "What can I do to reduce costs?" and the AI responds with four prioritized recommendations based on your data: demand management targeting your 530 kW peak, rate schedule optimization for your FPL HLFT tariff, summer HVAC scheduling to reduce the 42% summer/winter cost swing, and irrigation schedule optimization based on your water consumption pattern.

Built for Every Seat at the Table
Whether you're managing operations, optimizing budgets, or reporting to investors — Energy Dashboard adapts to your workflow.
For Asset Managers
Track utility expense ratios across your portfolio against budget. When energy costs at one property spike above benchmark, you see it immediately — not in next quarter's variance report. Use cost-per-SF benchmarking to identify which properties are running inefficiently and prioritize capital improvements like LED retrofits, HVAC upgrades, or building automation systems.
For Property Managers
Stop manually entering utility bills into spreadsheets. Upload the PDF, let AI parse it, confirm the data, done. Monthly utility reports that used to take hours are generated automatically. When a demand spike hits, you know about it the same day — not when the next bill arrives 30 days later.
For Building Engineers & Facilities
Peak demand tracking tells you exactly when your building draws the most power — and how much it costs. Seasonality analysis quantifies the summer/winter swing so you can calibrate HVAC scheduling, pre-cooling strategies, and load-shedding programs with hard data instead of guesswork.
For ESG & Sustainability Leads
Energy Dashboard provides the utility consumption data foundation for ENERGY STAR benchmarking, GRESB reporting, and ESG disclosures. Track kWh, gallons, and demand kW over time with audit-ready data history. Year-over-year comparison charts show whether your sustainability initiatives are actually moving the needle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CRELYTIC Energy Dashboard and how it fits into your property operations.
Stop Overpaying for Utilities You Don't Monitor
The average commercial building spends $2.50–$4.50 per square foot per year on utilities. For a 150,000 SF property, that's $375K–$675K annually — and most of it goes unmonitored until an annual budget review. Energy Dashboard puts that data in front of you in real time, flags anomalies the day they happen, and gives you AI-powered recommendations to cut costs. No more spreadsheets. No more annual energy audits that arrive six months late.
