Case Study: PlotWatt achieves actionable energy savings with JMP

At home and at restaurants, PlotWatt identifies energy-eating appliances and practices

PlotWatt, a Durham-based energy analytics company, helps homes and restaurants identify hidden electricity waste and turn usage data into actionable recommendations. Its challenge was gathering, cleaning, and making sense of large, disparate data sets to pinpoint which appliances and practices were driving energy costs.

Using JMP software, PlotWatt analyzed energy disaggregation data, built repeatable scripts, and visualized patterns to uncover “wattprints” of energy-hungry equipment. The solution from JMP helped PlotWatt send daily action alerts to managers, leading to measurable savings such as $779 per store per month for one franchisee and $649 per store per month for another, while also improving customer satisfaction.
