Building Energy Aggregation Tool

 

The City of Kansas City, Mo., (KCMO) enacted the Energy Empowerment Ordinance (Sections 18-500 through 18-508) to establish an energy benchmarking and reporting requirement for certain buildings. To assist our customers in complying with this KCMO ordinance, Evergy has developed the Building Energy Aggregation Tool (BEAT).

BEAT allows customers to aggregate multiple meters at a building into a whole-building, electrical energy-usage number. This makes it easier for building owners to report to KCMO. This aggregated electrical usage data is to be used solely for benchmarking purposes and will not provide any identifiable individual meter data.

How to get help

If you are a building owner subject to the Energy Empowerment Ordinance there are three paths for Evergy assistance.

If the building is a single tenant or building owner is the account holder all associated building meters: Please use the building owner’s Account Link Advantage (ALA) access to attain your energy aggregation data.

• If you do not have ALA access, please email for assistance.

If the building has four or fewer tenants, and the tenants are the Evergy account holders: Building owner may request that Evergy use BEAT to aggregate energy data. The building owner must email the following required documents as their formal request for assistance:

• Owner-completed Account Aggregation Request Form 
• A tenant-signed Account Holder Release Form 
• BEAT Account Spreadsheet

If the building has five or more tenants, and the tenants are the
Evergy account holders: Building owner may request that Evergy use BEAT to aggregate energy data. The building owner must provide the following required documents to BEAT@evergy.com as their formal request for assistance:
