Features • Energy • Carbon

Everything schools need to see, understand, and act on energy & carbon.

GreenElectron brings live monitoring, anomaly detection, and carbon estimation together in one modern dashboard — built for districts, cities, and facilities teams that want clarity, not complexity.

At a glance

The core capabilities you’ll use every day.

📊 Unified Dashboards

Trends by building & site with weather normalization, peak demand, and cost overlays. Compare periods and export views for reports.

⚡ Anomaly Detection

Surfaces schedule drift, weekend spikes, idle loads, and sensor glitches with clear plain-language explanations.

🌍 Carbon Accounting

Converts kWh/therms to tCO₂e using grid-region factors. Track reductions by semester or fiscal year.

Dashboards that make sense

Clear trends, clean comparisons, and the right context to make decisions.

Building & Group Views

Drill from district-wide summaries into specific campuses, or regions. GreenElectron 2.0 will allow you to normalize by area and student population to compare fairly.

Costs & Peaks

Spot high energy demand months that drive bills. Export charts for board packets with a click.

Screenshot-ready: every chart and table is designed to paste cleanly into reports.

Find what’s wasting energy

GreenElectron continuously scans for patterns that don’t look right and flags them, noting why

Monthly Tracking

Compares between campuses/buildings and that building's specific usage.

Sensor Health

Allows you to view specific meter usage and track it.

Plain-language Context

Every alert includes what changed, how big the impact is, and where to look first.

Carbon you can explain

Transparent methods and clear units so everyone understands what the numbers mean.

Emission Factors by Region

Applies grid-region factors to translate electricity and gas into tCO₂e. Methods are documented and auditable.

Progress by Term or FY

Track goals over semesters or fiscal periods. See reductions tied to projects, policy, or behavior changes.

Pre-launch note: Demoed to Berkeley Unified and Fremont Union High School District; piloting with the City of Sunnyvale.

Data & Integrations

Flexible inputs so you can start with what you have and grow over time.

Utility & Interval Data

Works with CSV exports, and will be integrated with API once we recieve approval from PG&E. Currently handles monthly statements by meter (~3-4 per campus for each gas/electricity).

Bill Normalization

Uses algorithms to solve the issue of billing periods having differing lengths and bills ending on different days. Provides clear documentation of the method in the app.

Open & Extensible

Open-source foundation with a simple schema — easy to adapt, audit, and self-host.

Security & Privacy

Institution-friendly from day one.

Data Ownership

Your data stays yours. Use local storage or connect to institutional databases as preferred.

Least-Privilege

Collect only what’s needed for analysis. Sensitive details can be anonymized at ingest.

Transparent Methods

Carbon factors, calculations, and alert logic are documented so stakeholders can trust the output.
