Accelerating and scaling energy efficiency.
Energy Efficiency Case Study
Gemini, an energy audit and clean-tech company provides affordable, investment-grade energy audits for small commercial buildings with their SaaS platform, Conserve. The platform enables data collection specialists from the communities being served to deliver the highest quality-rated audits with just a few days of training.
Energy audits are a major tool in kickstarting this country’s clean energy transformation. High-quality, affordable energy audits for small to medium size commercial buildings—an underserved market—are required to help utilities meet their decarbonization, resiliency, and community investment goals. Conserve enables these goals to be met affordably, at scale.
VALUE PROPOSITION
Gemini successfully created a functional product with a clear value proposition for multiple audiences: utilities, building owners, and workforce development partners. However, its platform wasn’t supporting the level of accuracy needed in data collection, wasn’t meeting accessibility standards, and had no mechanism for tracking and reporting on the positive impacts it generates.

Creating features to track impact over time
To gain traction with its customers, Gemini needed to design for its short-term audit data quality and user experience needs. For the long-term, it needs to track impact and use insights derived from impact data to make better business decisions. We worked together to identify metrics that matter and created a low fidelity design concept to visualize how these can be integrated into the Conserve product design.
