Executive Summary

A regional energy efficiency agency serving nine counties across the San Francisco Bay Area sought to improve visibility into the performance and impact of its Green Labeling Program. Program data was distributed across multiple databases, spreadsheets, and legacy systems, resulting in manual reporting processes, limited historical analysis, inconsistent data access, and significant administrative effort. 

DiLytics implemented a centralized Energy Efficiency Analytics solution leveraging Snowflake, Snowpark, and Tableau. The solution automated data integration from multiple sources, consolidated information into a cloud-based data warehouse, and delivered interactive dashboards supporting home energy assessments, incentives, training programs, quality assurance, and program performance analytics.

The implementation improved reporting efficiency, enhanced data quality and accessibility, enabled localized program management, and empowered stakeholders with timely insights to make more informed, data-driven decisions.
