Platform
Overview
Pathian’s platform is a standardized analytics foundation for measuring, verifying, and reporting energy performance. It is designed to operate as independent measurement infrastructure—transforming raw operational and energy data into consistent, audit‑ready performance outputs across portfolios, systems, and individual components.
The platform is built for scale, neutrality, and trust. It supports utilities, OEMs, regulators, and partners without prescribing strategies, controlling equipment, or delivering projects.
A Measurement‑First Architecture
Pathian’s platform is anchored in mathematically derived performance standards and verified operational data. At its core are Ideal Curves—weather‑indifferent mathematical representations of how systems should perform at 100% efficiency under defined physical constraints. Actual performance is continuously compared against these standards to quantify variance, improvement, and persistence.
This approach enables consistent measurement across time, geography, vendors, and system types without relying on regression, assumed baselines, or one‑off studies.
What the Platform Provides
Standardized Measurement
The platform generates normalized baselines and performance curves that allow like‑for‑like comparison across assets, time periods, and operating conditions.
Continuous Verification
Performance changes are verified continuously, enabling accurate quantification of savings, demand reduction, and persistence at any level of aggregation.
Portfolio‑to‑Component Visibility
Analytics operate seamlessly across entire portfolios, individual facilities, systems, and discrete components such as pumps, motors, or chillers.
Strategy‑Agnostic Analytics
The platform measures outcomes without prescribing how they are achieved. Customers and partners retain full control over operational, controls, or capital strategies.
Designed for Utilities, OEMs, and Regulators
The platform supports diverse stakeholders through a common analytics foundation:
- Utilities use the platform to enable incentive programs, quantify avoided cost, verify peak demand reduction, and produce regulator‑ready reporting.
- OEMs and BAS providers embed the analytics engine to enhance installed‑base intelligence, publish OEM‑owned standards, and support performance‑based offerings.
- Regulators and evaluators gain access to transparent, repeatable, and auditable performance data derived from consistent methodology.
Data Access and Integration
The platform operates on customer‑provided data sources, including existing enterprise data tables and secure, read‑only data connectors. Data access is analytics‑neutral and preserves customer ownership, native system architectures, and security policies.
Analytics outputs are available through APIs and platform interfaces, enabling integration with utility systems, OEM platforms, reporting tools, and partner workflows.
Built to Enable, Not Replace
Pathian’s platform is intentionally designed to enable others:
- Utilities define programs and incentives
- OEMs and partners deliver solutions
- Contractors and ESCOs implement projects
Pathian independently measures and verifies performance outcomes, providing a trusted analytics layer that supports action without competing for delivery.
