We anticipate you will find your project site easy to use and update. We suggest you first explore by clicking through the different areas on your Property Home Page and in the navigation links on the left side.
Then view these three short introductory videos. They are primarily for property project leaders, but anyone can view to get a fuller understanding of the of the features.
Part 1: Your Property Home Page; Your Comparison Group
Part 2: Adding, Updating Energy Data; ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
Part 3:Using Your Action Table; Forums
In summary, there are a few major sections to your project site. These include:
Our Property
This section is your main page, giving you and your team members a quick update of progress to date, how your property energy intensity compares to others in the project, and much more.
Take Action
The action table is your guide to saving energy in your property. We allow you to check off actions for your own property and see what other organizations are doing.
Forums
This area allows you to share what you have learned as you act to save energy and to ask questions of project participants and staff. Project staff also will be able to share ideas and offer advice.
Project Results to Date
This area shows the results of all the participating organizations. This section is updated as projects are completed.
You can't hurt the site by trying it out. If you can't understand how to make things work, we will be happy to help you and work to make the site easier, too. If you have access to a computer with high-speed Internet access (for example you connect to the Internet over cable or DSL), we can arrange a short session where our staff can see your PC and you can see our PC. This "shared desktop" approach is a good way to ask questions and resolve problems. Send Warren Gaskill a message at wgaskill@rapid-improvement.com if you would like to arrange a shared desktop session.
Users
We designed the website especially for members of organizations that have signed up to participate in this project. We welcome members of the public to view the work, but only members of organizations can edit action tables and post to the energy blog area. Also, Organization Contacts can update their information through the Our Settings link they see in the top navigation bar.
