A Neutral, Continuous System of Record for Measured Performance

Energy performance discussions often fail not because measurement is unavailable, but because there is no shared, authoritative record that all parties trust.

The Pathian Performance Record™ provides a neutral, continuously maintained system of record for measured energy and operational performance — enabling acceptance, payment, oversight, and accountability without disputes over baselines, methods, or calculations.

The Performance Record governs how measured results are accessed, referenced, and compared across time.

Rather than recalculating performance for each report, filing, or acceptance event, the Performance Record maintains a persistent, audit-ready reference derived from standardized measurement and normalization.

All stakeholders evaluate outcomes against the same recorded performance — eliminating parallel studies, negotiated assumptions, and post-hoc reinterpretation.

Performance Records are built directly from measured operational behavior.

They are:

• Weather-independent

• Mode-aware (e.g., heating, cooling, economizer)

• Component-traceable

• Deterministic and repeatable

Once established, records persist across the life of an asset, project, or program, enabling consistent comparison across any selected time window — including pre- and post-implementation, year-over-year, or custom periods.

The Performance Record is well suited for contexts where trust, transparency, and defensibility matter most, including:

• ESCO project acceptance and performance guarantees

• Owner and government accountability programs

• Utility incentive settlement and verification

• Regulatory review and audit

By anchoring these processes to a shared record of measured performance, disputes are reduced and outcomes can be accepted with confidence.

The Performance Record does not introduce new analytics methods.

All analytics are computed as data is ingested into the Pathian platform using standardized, component-level functions. The Performance Record governs how those results are referenced, not how they are calculated.

This preserves:

• Existing methodologies (e.g., IPMVP)

• Partner intellectual property

• Role clarity across stakeholders

Every Performance Record is traceable to the underlying components that produced it.

Measured outcomes can be:

• Rolled up to systems, buildings, portfolios, or programs

• Drilled down to specific equipment or components

• Compared across peer groups without altering logic

This ensures transparency from high-level summaries down to measured behavior.

The Performance Record is:

• Read-only

• Customer-authorized

• Independent of solution delivery

It does not prescribe action, select solutions, or adjudicate disputes. It simply provides a trusted reference that stakeholders can rely on.

This neutrality allows the Performance Record to function as durable infrastructure rather than a project artifact.

The Pathian Performance Record™ turns measured performance into permanent institutional memory.

By providing a continuous, authoritative record of how assets actually perform, it enables faster acceptance, reduced risk, improved accountability, and scalable performance-based programs — without redefining roles or methodologies.

Performance stops being something that must be re-argued and becomes something that can be referenced.
