EnergyCAP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EnergyCAP is a family of energy management and energy accounting software products and services, used for tracking, processing, reporting, benchmarking, and analyzing utility bills and comprehensive energy and sustainability management and reporting. EnergyCAP also interfaces with the EPA Energy Star Portfolio Manager. Multiple versions of EnergyCAP—Enterprise, Express, Consultant Platform, and Professional—are available to meet user functional requirements. The EnergyCAP solution is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, and a FedRAMP-authorized data hosting service is available to federal agencies.

History

[edit]

EnergyCAP's history dates back to 1980. In response to a growing demand for energy management software when PCs were in their infancy, Steven D. Heinz founded OmniComp, Inc. in 1980 and launched the development of EnergyCAP predecessor FASER Energy Accounting.[1]

FASER became widely used by retail chains, government, universities, school districts and property managers. By the mid-1990s, FASER's thousands of users tracked an estimated five million bills a year valued at $2 billion. FASER and OmniComp were purchased by Enron Corporation in 1996.[2] Following Enron's bankruptcy in late 2001, Heinz acquired the energy information assets[3] and launched Good Steward Software, which was renamed to EnergyCAP, Inc. in January 2010.[4] The company was renamed EnergyCAP, LLC in March 2021 upon the establishment of a strategic partnership with private equity investment firm Resurgens Technology Partners.
