Why Brightly Operational Analytics? 

Brightly’s Operational Analytics (OA) service doesn’t stop at the investigation phase. Our offering goes beyond a one-time report, as we provide a long-term, data-driven service that helps you continuously monitor and optimize performance. 

Brightly’s platform integrates with your BAS and utility meters to collect real-time energy and performance data. And through using advanced fault detection, diagnostics, and analytics, we identify inefficiencies, equipment issues, and opportunities for improvement. That helps our energy experts work directly with your facilities team to interpret your data, prioritize actions, and implement targeted energy-saving strategies.  

In essence, we don’t just give you the data, we help you act on it. Over the past 12+ years, Brightly’s Operational Analytics has helped clients achieve average energy savings of 20% with payback periods of under 2 years. And with the EBCx program covering a large portion of the upfront costs, the ROI is even more compelling.
