Understanding Energy Star

Infor is a partner of Energy Star, a joint program between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to monitor and improve energy efficiency efforts.

Infor EAM works with the customer by sending the customer's energy consumption data to Energy Star's Portfolio Manager system (PM) via web services of the Automated Benchmarking System (ABS). The customer receives Energy Star ratings in return from PM thru the ABS.

Infor EAM helps commercial businesses monitor energy efficiency ratings through four of eight total web services through which data is exchanged with the EPA:
  1. Get Pending Authorizations—Infor EAM receives ID information on the customer's facilities and meters
  2. Confirm Pending Authorizations—complete mapping of the customer's Infor EAM IDs to facilities and meter IDs in PM
  3. Manage Meter Information—send energy consumption data from Infor EAM to PM
  4. Rating Exchange Service—retrieve Energy Star Ratings for historical 12 month periods
