Project Idea - Sustainability - UtilityWise

- **Lower utility costs:** Identify unusual usage, billing errors, and waste to reduce energy and water expenses.
- **Clear savings estimates:** See where improvements could pay off and prioritize actions by potential return.
- **Less manual effort:** Bring bills and meter data into one place for easier monitoring across multiple properties.
- **Track environmental progress:** Measure energy, water, and emissions reductions over time.
- **Lower financial risk:** Optional revenue sharing ties part of the service cost to verified savings.

- **Tiered monthly subscriptions:** Charge per property, with plans based on the number of sites, meters, and reporting features.
- **Portfolio plans:** Offer discounted annual contracts for hotel or restaurant groups managing multiple properties.
- **Savings-share fees:** Take an agreed percentage of verified utility savings, with clear baselines and measurement rules.
- **One-time onboarding fees:** Charge for bill and meter-data setup, integrations, and initial energy or water assessments.
- **Premium add-ons:** Monetize services such as emissions reporting, custom dashboards, alerts, and sustainability reports.

- **Automated bill processing:** Upload or connect utility bills to extract usage, rates, fees, and account details.
- **Meter data monitoring:** Track electricity, gas, and water use by property, meter, or time period.
- **Waste and anomaly alerts:** Flag unusual consumption, leaks, after-hours usage, and billing discrepancies.
- **Property benchmarking:** Compare sites against their own history and similar hotels or restaurants.
- **Savings recommendations:** Prioritize practical efficiency actions with estimated cost and payback.
- **Verified savings tracking:** Measure results against a baseline and support optional savings-based revenue sharing.
- **Emissions reporting:** Track carbon emissions and reductions across properties for sustainability reports.
