As the year draws to a close, it is likely that you will begin to consider how to optimize your processes for next year.

The Importance of Effective Energy Management
The way your business manages their energy will have a significant impact on the overall expenses of the business. Not only will effective energy management reduce your expenses, but it is better for the environment, as well! Reducing overall energy consumption and ensuring that energy is used in an efficient manner helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is often considered a highly important social responsibility. Effective energy management is similarly useful in that it can help to reduce your company’s reliance on unrenewable resources that may become more difficult, and expensive, to obtain. Sustainability can go a long way toward protecting a company from skyrocketing energy expenses and possible disruptions to their operation.
A company that practices superior energy management and reduces their energy consumption will be able to use this as a marketing tool to promote their brand and improve their reputation. Not all aspects of energy management systems deal solely with minimizing energy use, however. Tracking overall energy consumption is another integral part of managing your business’s energy use. Accurate tracking will allow you to budget effectively for your utility expenses and optimize your business’s operations. The more information you have, the more effectively you will be able to plan for the following year. This can also provide you with ideas and guidance regarding how to improve the efficiency of your energy consumption.
How an Annual Report Works
An annual report is used to provide both a visual and data-based analysis of the year’s energy usage. It uses the totalizer registers in order to create monthly data for a 12-month period. This is an important component of tracking the overall operations of the previous year. For example, an annual report provides you with information regarding your energy consumption. This will allow you to plan more effectively for the following year. Essentially, an annual report can help you to determine just how effective a business’s energy conservation strategies have been throughout the entire year. This can be especially helpful in planning for future expenses, as well as showing how effective certain measures were.
The Benefits of Annual Report Analysis
Annual report analysis helps to ensure that you have a yearly overview of your business’s energy consumption. This will help you craft an accurate plan for the following year and see information regarding how energy was used throughout the year. It is also important in allowing you to craft achievable goals for the future. For example, if your annual report shows that your business wasn’t particularly energy-efficient, you may want to consider making it a goal to implement new energy conservation strategies throughout the next year. This report will also help to provide data as to whether these strategies are effective after they have been put in place.
The monthly structure of these reports further helps to simplify this process. Perhaps you installed energy-efficient light fixtures throughout the building in May of the previous year. You should be able to see the difference between energy consumption in April and energy consumption following the installation of the new light fixtures. The more information you have, the more effectively you will be able to manage your energy use. When armed with the appropriate information, you can make a large array of changes to significantly enhance the efficiency of your business’s operation, which will greatly lower your related energy expenses.
Simplify your Process and Maximize your Profits
Annual reports require the compilation of data from the entire year. Unless you have remained carefully organized throughout the year, this can be incredibly time-consuming to accomplish. In addition to gathering all of the necessary information, you will also be required to analyze and compare the information in order for it to be useful. Vitality’s software is able to ensure that your annual report can be created with only three clicks. The process of generating an annual report with the software is incredibly simple. First, you choose the end month and the year for the report. Then, fill out the Row Builder section using the dropdown menus and click the add button. The system will then gather all of the requested data. Once this has been done, it will generate a graph and spreadsheet for your annual report. This provides superior results derived from an extremely simple process.
