Energy & Environmental Management Application Design to Maximize Short and Long Term Profitability

Energy and environmental optimization - a.k.a. sustainability - is a rising priority for companies as investors, customers, government and stakeholders look at the environmental and financial implications of cleantech and optimization initiatives. The design of user-validated, high-performance sustainability applications helps to uncover short- and long-term opportunities to minimize environmental impact, improve revenue and identify costs & risks impacting the bottom line.

Our areas of focus in sustainability/energy management

• Energy management and reporting software to identify and prioritize energy management issues, operate critical energy endpoints at optimal efficiency levels and validate investment decisions
• Building information management (BIM) systems to design for and monitor energy efficiency/maintenance
• Demand response control systems that optimize visibility into and analysis of mission-critical energy information along with reporting interfaces that communicate the need for load shedding to customers, turn kilowatt reductions into actionable price information and verify compliance

Sustainability UI and Application Design for SaaS, RIAs, Mobile and Instrumentation

Our range of application design experience in sustainability covers SaaS, RIAs and mobile. We also design user-friendly instrument control interfaces for metering and mission critical energy control and feedback systems. Out designs help organizations with energy and resource management by providing visibility into asset utilization and energy use, identifying cost reduction opportunities through demand response or linking to plant control systems to monitor plant operating performance.

Sustainability drives incremental value relevant to a wide range of stakeholders

Strong sustainability performance equates to tangible value for a company in terms of cost savings, operational efficiencies, risk management and brand value, across every area of the business. Catalyst designs sustainability applications and UI to make it easy plan, measure, analyze, act on and report information relevant to all range of stakeholders including C-level management, operations, IT, partners, employees, clients and investors.

From production to reporting

Catalyst Resources user interface and application design work addresses sustainability solutions at every stage from energy production to demand response monitoring to carbon management and reporting.

• Production - Instrument control interfaces, dashboards and metering for renewable energy to create carbon-neutral energy or reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste production.
• Distribution - Application design, mapping and metering interfaces for cleantech such as demand response devoted to distributing energy and resources efficiently from production source to consumption source.
• Optimization - Application design for initiatives, forecasting, operational risk management and capital investment an organization takes to measure, monetize and mitigate energy, C02, and resource use across the internal operations and supply chain.
• Output - Application design to reduce time and costs for policy compliance and reporting based on optimization efforts, including GHG Accounting and transparent, auditable communication to stakeholders and the public.

Experience across the key areas of business related to sustainability

Catalyst Resources has extensive experience with the complexity, scope and dependencies of application design projects relevant to sustainability, software design - from finance, through procurement, to production, analystics, and reporting
