PROCESS

At cloudTP,  we have a keen understanding of the inefficient and challenging procedures widely used to measure, manage, monitor, and report on corporate sustainability efforts.  Following a disciplined approach, we implement and configure the Energy Resource Management (ERM) software solution to address your unique corporate profile and locations. Once configuration is completed we determine your existing carbon footprint and consumption of various types of energy to then guide you through various modeling and scenario planning activities. This leads to the identification of specific initiatives that will yield the most cost efficient and significant impacts. Finally, the ERM solution facilitates the ongoing monitoring and reporting of these initiatives and their success. 

 The following structured approach is used to ensure successful engagement execution:

• Product Implementation and Configuration: By partnering with innovative best-of-breed SaaS solutions, cloudTP will implement and configure a solution reflect your unique business configuration, identifying your various locations and facilities. Training is provided to identified users as well as software administrators.
• Assessment of Current State Impacts and Consumption: Identify all energy consumers and environmental impacts. Identify, organize, and load existing utilization data into the ERM system to determine the baseline carbon footprint and understand the contributions across all sources and locations.
• Modeling and Scenario Planning: Understand the existing sustainability and business strategies and goals to perform modeling and scenario planning activities to determine what initiatives, pursued in which locations, will yield the desired results in the most cost efficient manner.
• Identification and Prioritization of Sustainability Initiatives: Organize and prioritize identified sustainability initiatives. Attain required approvals and investments required to pursue each initiative. Utilize the ERM system to capture and track each initiative and its progress.
• Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting: Track the progress of each initiative and monitor its impact against projected targets. Identify, log, and resolve any issues that emerge to ensure success. Regularly report on the overall program and initiative-specific success.
• Stakeholder Portal Design, Development and Implementation: Customize the user interface to transparently and effectively integrate with other corporate systems to drive additional operational efficiencies.
