Views
The dashboard has three tabs that share the same filters.Ranking
A horizontal bar chart with one bar per site, sorted from highest to lowest intensity. The longest bars at the top are your outliers. Click any bar to open the site’s intensity breakdown.Size vs consumption
A scatter plot of building size (square footage) against annualized usage. This helps you tell apart a site that’s genuinely inefficient from one that simply uses more energy because it’s larger.Over time
A trend view of intensity across the selected window, useful for spotting seasonal patterns or the impact of an efficiency project.How intensity is calculated
With the default Square footage denominator, intensity is your site’s usage divided by its gross floor area, scaled to a full year. Nectar does not adjust for occupancy. This is intentional: if a site’s occupancy hasn’t been applied yet, it will stand out as an outlier here, which is exactly what you want when auditing your portfolio. To set or correct a site’s area, edit the site in Settings > Company > Sites. When you select a numeric custom variable as the denominator, intensity is usage divided by that variable for months where both usage and a positive variable value exist. Axis labels reflect the variable name and unit (for example, kWh per cwt).Sites without denominator coverage
A site needs a denominator value to have an intensity figure. Sites that have usage but no square footage (or an area of zero) — or, for a custom denominator, no matching variable coverage in the window — are listed in a separate missing section below the charts, rather than being shown with a misleading value. Add the area in site settings, or enter variable values under Settings > Company > Sites > General (definitions) and each site’s Variables tab, to bring them into the ranking.Site intensity breakdown
Clicking a site opens a breakdown panel showing how its intensity figure is built — the total usage for the period, the gross area, the number of days with data, and the resulting annualized intensity. This makes it easy to verify a number or understand why a site landed where it did.Related pages

Frequently asked questions
Why is a site missing from the ranking?
Why is a site missing from the ranking?
A site needs a denominator value to appear in the charts. With square footage selected, sites with
usage but no area are listed in the missing section — add the area in
Settings > Company > Sites. With a
custom variable selected, enter values under
Settings > Company > Sites > General
or on each site’s Variables tab.
Why does intensity use gross area instead of occupied area?
Why does intensity use gross area instead of occupied area?
Using gross square footage means a site whose occupancy hasn’t been applied yet still shows up as
an outlier — which helps you catch sites that need attention. The breakdown panel shows the exact
inputs behind each figure.
Can I analyze more than one commodity at once?
Can I analyze more than one commodity at once?
The dashboard shows one commodity at a time. Switch the Commodity filter to compare a
different utility type.

How do I intensity-normalize by production or headcount?
Create a monthly Number custom variable, enter values
per site (or import them), then choose that variable in the Denominator filter on this page.
