To get started on Carbon Signal, all you have to do is create a Portfolio and upload some building data. Carbon Signal will automatically create models based on the information you provide.
Create a Portfolio
From the Portfolios page, click Create Portfolio. Give your Portfolio a name, and set the Who has Access dropdown to Anyone. This will create a Portfolio that all members of your Team can see.
You can always access the Portfolios page by clicking on the Carbon Signal logo in the top left corner of the screen.
Adding Data
After you create the Portfolio, click on Add Buildings. This will open a modal where you can download the latest version of the spreadsheet template and then upload the file after filling it out.
The spreadsheet has several required fields: Building Name, Area, Location (address or geocoordinates), and at least one month of one utility. For more information on best practices regarding data upload see Adding Buildings and Uploading Data.
Viewing Results
After the modals are finished running, you’ll be able to see the calibration details by clicking on a building in the Building Data table.
To see the results of the intervention analysis, go to the Model Results page, and select a building from the dropdown in the Reduction Potential graph.
