Stetz Consulting LLC brings over 20 years of energy-efficiency experience to your project or facility. We can help save you money by reducing operating costs, improve comfort and climate control, and minimize your carbon footprint. Let us help identify operating inefficiencies that contribute to high operating costs, recommend technologies and strategies to improve performance, and evaluate the economics of potential facility upgrades.
In 2011, Stetz Consulting conducted thirty-four energy audits covering over 5.5 million SF of commercial, data center, warehouse, and industrial facilities that identified 20 million kWh, 10,000 MMBTU, 11,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and $1.7 million in potential energy savings.
Specialties include:
- Measurement & verification of energy savings resulting from performance contract, either owner or energy-service company perspective.
- Conducting energy audits to identify energy- and cost-saving strategies.
- Participating in the building design process to incorporate daylighting, passive solar heating, reduced solar gain and cooling loads, and reducing overall energy use.
- Evaluating renewable energy and emerging technologies for specific applications.
- Supporting LEED BD&C and EB/OM projects.
- Develop and conduct training workshops in M&V, energy efficiency, economics, and statistics.

E-learning Course: Using Excel® to Evaluate Building and System Data-
Stetz Consulting – in partnership with Onset Computer – is introducing an online self-paced course on using Microsoft Excel to evaluate data logger and BAS data. Six recorded modules available on demand plus an example Excel worksheet demonstrate how to manipulate time-series data to extract meaningful information from data loggers, building automation systems, and utility interval data. The course will show you how to:
- Calculate energy consumption by time-of-use
- Calculate maximum, minimum, and average temperatures for occupied & unoccupied periods
- Merge time-series data from different sources
- Create informative graphs
These manipulations and calculations are necessary to convert time-series data to actionable information for energy auditing, commissioning, measurement & verification, and diagnostic purposes.
This course is intended for commissioning agents, energy consultants, simulation modelers, facility operators, and anyone who uses data loggers, extracts data from a building automation system, or needs to evaluate building load profiles.
A general knowledge of the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program, data loggers, building automation systems, and utility interval data is expected. Module 6 assumes a basic knowledge of statistics and linear regression models.
This course is an excerpt from the webinar ‘Using Data Loggers for Performance Monitoring’, but the methods shown can be used to evaluate any time-series data. It is approximately 1.5 hours in length and has been approved for one GBCI CEU. Cost is $95.
