Energy
Persistent structure identity across the evolving energy ecosystem.
PIID™ gives energy companies, technology platforms, operators, program administrators, and analytics systems a persistent way to reference the physical structures where energy is generated, consumed, managed, upgraded, and analyzed.
Energy
One structure identity across energy intelligence, electrification, distributed energy, efficiency, and decarbonization.
PIID™ gives energy companies, technology platforms, operators, program administrators, and analytics systems a persistent way to reference the physical structures where energy is generated, consumed, managed, upgraded, and analyzed.
The energy identity problem
Energy systems evolve.The physical structure remains.
Energy systems reference buildings through service addresses, meters, accounts, parcels, GIS objects, internal asset identifiers, program records, and technology specific IDs.
Each serves a purpose.
None is designed to provide a persistent identity for the physical structure across every energy system and through decades of change.
Meters can change.
Occupants can change.
Energy providers can change.
Equipment can be replaced.
Solar and storage can be added.
Buildings can be electrified.
Programs and technology platforms can change.
The structure remains.
Without persistent structure identity, energy information must repeatedly be reconciled around the physical asset it is intended to describe.

PIID Resolve™
Resolve energy data to the physical structure.
PIID Resolve™ identifies, validates, and resolves physical structures to persistent infrastructure identities.
Addresses, parcels, coordinates, geometry, and supported energy records can resolve to the same physical structure through PIID™, giving energy systems a consistent reference across datasets, programs, technologies, providers, and time.
Persistent identity can reduce duplication, matching errors, and ambiguity while creating continuity as energy systems and building technologies evolve.
Know which structure the energy record represents. Persistently.
PIID Resolve™Built for energy workflows
One persistent identity across the building energy lifecycle.
Building Energy Intelligence
Connect supported consumption, characteristics, performance information, and analytical records to the correct physical structure.
Energy Efficiency
Maintain structure identity across audits, programs, improvements, incentives, and efficiency initiatives.
Electrification
Connect electrification planning, equipment transitions, and supported building information to the same persistent structure.
Distributed Energy
Maintain structure continuity across solar, storage, charging, and other distributed energy programs associated with the built environment.
Decarbonization
Connect building identity across benchmarking, retrofit planning, emissions reduction programs, upgrades, and long term decarbonization initiatives.
Demand and Load Analysis
Provide a persistent structure reference for supported consumption, load, building, and spatial information used in analytical environments.
Portfolio Energy Management
Resolve buildings consistently across properties, portfolios, programs, technology platforms, and energy datasets.
Program Administration
Maintain structure continuity across enrollment, qualification, implementation, verification, and long term program records.
The grid edge
Give the physical structure a persistent place in the energy data model.
The building increasingly sits at the intersection of consumption, generation, storage, electrification, automation, and grid interaction.
Yet the systems surrounding that building may identify it differently.
PIID™ provides a persistent reference to the physical structure itself.
Together, they create a consistent structure context around which supported energy information can coordinate.
One physical structure across an increasingly connected energy ecosystem.
Decarbonization and building transformation
Improvements should remain connected to the asset they transform.
Buildings can undergo decades of energy improvements.
HVAC systems change.
Envelope improvements occur.
Solar is installed.
Storage is added.
Equipment is electrified.
Energy management technology evolves.
The identity of the physical structure should remain constant through those changes.
PIID™ provides that continuity, allowing supported energy records and lifecycle information to remain associated with the same structure through time.
The technology changes. The structure identity persists.
Multi structure energy environments
One property may contain multiple energy consuming structures.
Campuses, commercial properties, industrial sites, institutional facilities, and other properties can contain multiple qualifying structures.
A single address may describe the entire location.
A parcel may describe the land.
Neither necessarily distinguishes every physical structure participating in energy programs or analysis.
PIID™ provides each qualifying structure with its own persistent identity.
UMIP Structure Schedule™ can document the qualifying structure inventory associated with the property.
Move from property level approximation to structure level energy context.
UMIP Structure Schedule™
Know every structure within the energy environment.
UMIP Structure Schedule™ creates a documented inventory of qualifying structures on a property, identifying each through its PIID™, location, and relationship to the parcel.
For campuses, portfolios, commercial facilities, institutional properties, and other multi structure environments, Structure Schedule™ provides clarity about exactly which structures exist and where each is located.
One property. Every qualifying structure. Clearly identified.

System interoperability
Different energy systems.Same physical structure.
A utility may reference a service location.
An energy platform may reference an internal building ID.
A solar provider may use another identifier.
GIS may reference geometry.
A building management system may maintain its own asset structure.
An efficiency program may create another record.
PIID™ gives supported systems a persistent way to reference the same physical structure without requiring them to abandon the identifiers they already use.
Identity becomes the connection point across the energy ecosystem.
Energy data and AI
Give energy intelligence persistent physical context.
Energy analytics and AI increasingly combine information from buildings, weather, consumption, equipment, geospatial systems, programs, and other sources.
PIID™ provides a persistent structure reference around which supported information can resolve.
Better structure identity creates stronger context for energy analytics and intelligent systems.
Enterprise delivery
Built for energy technology environments.
PIID Resolve™ is delivered through enterprise APIs using structured JSON responses.
Technical teams can integrate persistent structure identity and identity resolved geometry directly into energy platforms, building systems, analytics environments, program applications, geospatial systems, portfolio platforms, data pipelines, and enterprise workflows.
API delivered. Machine readable. Built for integration at scale.
Data control
Existing energy systems remain in place.
PIID™ provides a persistent identity reference across existing energy technology and data environments.
It does not require energy companies, operators, technology platforms, institutions, or data providers to replace their existing systems, databases, or identifiers.
Existing systems retain their role. PIID™ provides continuity at the physical structure level.
Lifecycle Report™
A connected record for building energy context.
Lifecycle Report™ brings structure identity, property intelligence, records, documents, events, and lifecycle context together around one persistent infrastructure identity.
For energy workflows, Lifecycle Report™ can support building review, energy improvement documentation, retrofit planning, property analysis, and long term understanding of the physical structure.
A persistent structure record across building transformation.
Lifecycle Report™Governed by GIIS™
Persistent energy identity requires consistent rules.
GIIS™ establishes the governance framework for assigning, resolving, referencing, and maintaining persistent infrastructure identity across systems and organizations.
That consistency allows the identity of the physical structure to remain stable as energy technologies, programs, providers, systems, and operating conditions evolve.
