How EnergyCAP workflows are usually organized
Public EnergyCAP materials commonly emphasize:- Utility bill accounting and AP or GL-oriented exports
- Account and meter tracking across buildings and commodities
- Benchmarking and ENERGY STAR-aligned reporting
How your EnergyCAP data maps to Nectar
| EnergyCAP-style source concept | Nectar destination | Migration notes |

| Utility account master | Account | Preserve account numbers and provider attributes. |
| Meter tracking records | Meter | Map commodity, units, and status fields. |
| Bill and charge line details | Bill | Import service periods, charges, and invoice references. |
