WatchWire contains a wide variety of reports to help you analyze and distribute your energy and sustainability data. This section provides an overview of how to run, schedule, and distribute WatchWire out-of-the-box reports. First, navigate to the Reporting section found on the left side navigation bar.

FILTERING AVAILABLE REPORTS

Reports are available in categories corresponding to modules within WatchWire. Reports can be filtered from the drop-down menu on the left of the Reporting section, with “All” selected by default. When a report category is selected, you will only see reports that correspond to that module or function.

Depending on your modular subscription, you may have access to all or some of the following reports:

New reports are added to WatchWire regularly, so please let us know if there are any missing reporting capabilities that would be helpful for your organization.

RUNNING REPORTS

Once you have selected a report to run, you can use the filters to determine the scope of the report. Some reports have few filters, such as Node/Property, Commodity, and Date as in this example report below.

Other reports have more advanced filtering options to help you select and sort through the data you need.

Once you have selected your report and filters, click the blue Run button. Depending on the report and amount of data selected, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes

to run. If you navigate away from the page to other sections of WatchWire, you will be notified via a pop-up when the report is ready to display.

EXPORTING REPORTS

Reports can be displayed in the platform, as well as exported to PDF and to Excel. To export a report, click on the Excel or PDF options once the report has generated to download it to your computer.

Reports exported to Excel hold their native formatting, so graphs will update according to data updates, formulas will display in most instances, and modifications will flow through to other parts of the report.

Through the Get Data Quick Sentence filter feature, WatchWire users can easily pull data for properties and nodes to enable quick analysis in Excel. The Get Data Quick feature is the first report in the Reporting section, accessible from the left side navigation bar.

Using the filters, data can be subset along factors such as:

• Electric, Natural gas, or any other commodity in your portfolio

• Usage, demand, cost, weather normalization (HDD/CDD), carbon emissions

• Property, node, or account

• Custom time periods

• Billing Periods or Calendarized Months

• Accruals

WatchWire maintains default emissions factors from multiple standard sources, per below:

• Electric:

  • Scope 2 Location – EPA eGRID subregion (USA), IEA Emissions Factors (International). eGRID factors are updated as applicable. IEA factors are typically updated Q4 of each year.

  • Scope 2 Market – hierarchy per GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, with default residual factors from Green-e Residual Mix Emissions Rate Tables for US locations

• Scope 1 ( e.g., Natural Gas, Fuel Oil, Propane) and other Scope 2 ( e.g., steam, chilled water) – EPA Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories 2021.

The default Global Warming Potential used in WatchWire is the Fifth Assessment Report published by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Users subscribing to WatchWire’s Sustainability module can set their own custom emissions factors by commodity, node, and/or account. Users can also set their own custom Global Warming Potential if they want to utilize a different version of IPCC.

Our Emissions Factor report provides the applied emission factors for selected commodities based on site locations over selected time periods, whether you’re using WatchWire’s default factors or your own custom factors.
