Triple Bottom Line: Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
How data lakes may help energy & utilities management
The Viridis platform explores the concept of a data lake to combine time series sampled in real time with transactional data from management systems. To deal with large volumes of data, the system has a high-performance data historian with efficient storage and response times, capable of holding thousands of time series for many years. All this measurement data is combined with data from legacy systems such as ledger transactions, production orders, maintenance orders, laboratory data, among others. The system automatically correlates multiple types of data, temporal and transactional, allowing disruptive views on energy performance and operational efficiency.

Unexpected rise in the energy bill! What now?
Investing in sustainability: competitive advantage or just another expense?
The Emissions Management module of the Viridis Platform promotes comprehensive control of greenhouse gas emsisions as well as of solid and liquid waste from operations of any size and complexity. The system also monitors and manages the entire balance of energy and mass. Emissions can be measured directly or calculated by equivalence from conversion rules applied to the variables of energy consumption.
Viridis still gives complete support to the execution of practices advocated by the ISO 14001 standard, helping the company to maintain the expected environmental performance, as well as to acquire or maintain its certification by an appropriate external organization. The configuration of rules of equivalent emissions, the establishment of goals and indicators of environmental performance, and the execution of cycles of continuous improvement are essential elements to ensure compliance with the standards and the realization of the sustainable vision of the organization.

6 reasons why you should not use spreadsheets for energy management
The Viridis platform for energy and utilities management provides capabilities of monitoring, planning, contracting, costing, measurement and verification, simulation, and optimization of energy consumption – in an integrated way. This integration completely eliminates the need to use spreadsheets, in addition to allowing greater control, security, and quality of information. Data concerning energy consumption can be captured by the platform in real time, immediately treated in terms of quality and inserted into a contextualization mechanism that facilitates more robust and comprehensive analyses. Otherwise the Viridis platform also facilitates the incorporation of processes and tools that are commonly implemented in spreadsheets by users: forms for manual entry of data (for metrics that do not have physical meters), production plans used for prediction of energy consumption, forms for entry and verification of invoice data, spreadsheets that represent business rules in specific tasks and pivot tables for querying and visualization of combinations of data – all are of course covered by the Viridis platform and its interface components in order to facilitate the internalization of the tool and the rapid capture of value by users.
