Using Watts AI to explore your utility bill data

The chat function of Watts AI is a large language model (LLM) designed to help you quickly explore your utility bill data and get answers in a conversational way. You can ask Watts AI about your sites, meters, billing details, and more, and it will generate reports or explanations based on the data available in your EnergyCAP environment.

The Watts AI is a separate module and is listed as the last module on the module bar.

Key capabilities include:

  • Access is tied to your user permissions — if your user has access, Watts will have access
  • Access to the EnergyCAP Help Center
  • Improved tables and charts
  • Hyperlinks when referencing objects in EnergyCAP
  • Access to all GET APIs
  • Export results to a CSV file

Performance considerations

Currently, Watts AI performs best when your question involves 50 meters or fewer. Work is underway to support larger and more complex queries through field reduction, but there is no set timeline for this enhancement.

What Watts AI can do

Watts AI can process questions related to:

Sites and meters

  • Billing information
  • Commodity usage
  • Weatherization details
  • Property information

Billing and accounts

  • Bill details
  • Account-level data

Chargeback

  • Chargeback bills
  • Bills associated with chargeback accounts or meters

Readings from Interval Data

  • Summarized readings (not raw readings)
  • Channels and their readings

Vendors

  • Vendor properties

Emissions

  • Any emissions-related data

EUI (Energy Use Intensity)

  • EUI calculations or reports

    • These require specialized data and are harder to retrieve than other data types

Billing audits

  • Audit-related questions

    • For example: “How many bills are held up by Flag and Hold audits?”

Groups and benchmarks

  • Group data
  • Benchmark comparisons

Rates

  • Rate schedules
