Q3, 2011
Welcome, and thank you very much for visiting MACH Energy! I have several exciting developments to share with you:

Energy Star Partner
Energy Star adoption is gaining momentum, primarily driven by increased regulation mandating benchmarking. Tenants, investors and other stakeholders are pushing these new mandates like we are seeing in San Francisco, Washington D.C. and New York. To help our customers address this challenge, I am pleased to announce MACH Energy has recently become a certified Energy Star Solutions and Product Partner.

This means our system will help property managers save time and improve accuracy by automating usage data uploads into the Energy Star Portfolio Manager. This helps management evaluate progress and make capital allocation decisions by providing updated, flexible, always available Energy Star portfolio reporting. MACH Energy can also help you be “smart” about how to set-up and maintain the Energy Star program for your portfolio.

What’s the Next Step After Energy Star?
We often hear this question from our customers. MACH Energy’s program experience, visibility and tools were designed to help our customers take important next steps post-benchmarking. We do this by providing our customers energy visibility and a flexible “tool kit” that fits the customer’s current needs. Customers can then create value through:

• Higher Energy Star scores
• Improved operational efficiency and reduced operational expenses
• Measuring and reporting results to stakeholders
• Better evaluating capital improvement projects

Benefits of Collaboration
We have been fortunate to work with several industry thought leaders for more than a decade and our system has been built based on their feedback. This enables others to benefit from this collaboration and I am happy to report the introduction of several new customer-driven product features over the past 18 months:

• Real time alerts based on intraday data – creating an easy way to manage peak demand
• Forecasting tools to identify lowest cost operating scenarios
• Sophisticated steam analytics that operators in NYC and other markets are using to optimize steam usage

We greatly value customer or other feedback. If you have suggestions or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
