A sound energy management strategy can help global industries with KPIs, such as increasing efficiency while reducing environmental impact. A 2020 study by Schneider Electric revealed that 87% of business leaders consider energy and sustainability KPIs essential in making informed and intelligent business decisions. But how do these KPIs translate to tangible value in energy management?

John Casey, Director of National Accounts for ENTOUCH, delves into the importance of KPIs in shaping the value of energy management, providing insightful revelations based on years of industry experience.

In this episode of InTouch with ENTOUCH, John Casey explores:

  • How KPIs are instrumental in proving verifiable return on investment for customers partnering with ENTOUCH by measuring progress throughout engagements
  • The process of building a model alongside customers that estimates value return based on achievable energy savings and the results of an optimized repair and maintenance program
  • The outcomes of this disciplined approach include the achievement of a staggering 240% ROI collectively for all ENTOUCH customers over five years, a 1.5-year payback, and an impressive 100% customer renewal rate – a feat that is remarkable in the energy management industry

John Casey brings his vast knowledge and background in energy management to all ENTOUCH customers. Casey is well-positioned to shed light on the often-complex world of KPIs and their implications for the value of energy management.

Hi. I'm John Casey from Main Touch Controls. Wire KP KPIs important to the value of energy management? Primarily because our customers demand verifiable return on investment when they partner with us. We work together with our customers from the very beginning to build a model that estimates the value returned using achievable energy savings, and the results of a more optimized repair and maintenance program against the cost of investment, And we use that as a benchmark to measure our progress throughout our engagement. We will use those KPIs on a quarterly basis measure our actual collective achievements. And we constantly look for new strategies and opportunities to either exceed or to meet or exceed those objectives. What's this resulted in? Well, this discipline has helped us return two hundred and forty percent ROI, collectively, to all of our customers over five years. And a one point five year payback. And by the way, it has also enabled us to achieve a one hundred percent customer renewal rate which is unheard of in our industry. That's why KPIs are important to the value of energy management. I'm John Casey from InTouch Controls. Thank you.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments
