WALKING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR

Our national network of technicians conduct site visits to install hardware, catalogue physical building data, and sit with property teams to ensure all data in the Backpack is verified and accurate.

Software Features

Backpack tracks every piece of equipment, giving you a complete, verified inventory for each property.

During a site visit, our team collects essential details such as make, model, serial number, location, photos, and installation dates, and applies a unique QR code for seamless tracking. We then enrich this data with expert-sourced insights, including usable life, replacement value, equipment size, warranty information, and linked specifications.

This comprehensive data supports smarter capital planning and more informed decision-making. Each year, our team revisits your property to verify, update, and maintain your equipment records—ensuring your information stays accurate, current, and actionable.

 


 

Backpack gives you a clear, visual snapshot of ENERGY STAR® performance by building or across your entire portfolio with up-to-date scores, certification history, and monthly energy data.

The ENERGY STAR® Status Report provides direct insights into utility usage, setup details, and score trends, helping you quickly identify underperforming properties.

For properties scoring below 75, the Backpack team offers tailored recommendations to help improve performance and achieve certification. 

Best of all, our team manages your ENERGY STAR® submissions end-to-end—eliminating manual entry and ensuring timely, accurate reporting year after year.

Backpack’s Compliance Overview Dashboard gives you a clear, visual snapshot of compliance requirements for each building or across your entire portfolio, based on location.
