The Challenge


Increasingly organizations have to reduce their energy consumption, whether to reduce costs, manage their environmental impact, or meet formal requirements. While on average 30% of energy use is attributed to occupant behaviour, what can organizations with conservation goals do to influence behaviour change?

Changing Culture of Use


Changing the behaviour of building occupants is achievable. Research has shown that the comparison of energy consumption with peers can be a powerful motivator of behaviour change. The simple act of comparing the energy consumption of utility customers with that of their neighbours has been shown to inspire measurable reductions of 5 to 15% in a number of quantitative studies, since individuals are compelled to follow the example of their most efficient peers.

The VELOmetrics Solution


VELOmetrics taps into the power of peer comparison to inspire quantifiable reductions in energy use through comparative benchmarking. This web-based software allows organizations to measure their carbon footprint, compare it across their organization or against peers, and inspire behavioural change. Our software visualizes the results of conservation efforts, including occupant behavioural changes and infrastructure improvements.

VELOmetrics uses our VELO Software as a Service (SaaS) platform to measure and compare the carbon footprint of building occupants. This information can then be benchmarked between individuals, branches, or regional divisions in an organization, or against peers in similar organizations. Utility consumption and carbon emission data can be normalized by different factors, such as geographic location, the number of building occupants, and building size. The data is displayed using crisp and easy-to-understand visual tools, including an interactive map, a leaderboard, and our signature Zerometer carbon footprint gauge.

VELOmetrics is available online, 24/7, accessible from anywhere. There is no hardware to buy, no software to install, and no need for expensive technical staff. With VELOmetrics, you can be up and running cost-effectively and almost immediately.
