This was completed using variation energy software platforms and bespoke monitoring and targeting reporting. Main roles include:• Remotely analysing metered and sub-metered consumption by applying a number data analysis techniques including consumption profile analysis, disaggregation & regression analysis.• Conducting more intensive studies with key opportunity sites to reduce waste by maintaining regular interaction with the client and engaging onsite personnel. Energy saving opportunities are investigated after gaining greater site knowledge, actions are advised, and resulting consumption patterns are closely monitored.• Creating bespoke high quality reports identifying the number and scale of energy savings in order to help to clients monitor their portfolio as a whole and target key over-consumers
