Charley has spent 25 years in the energy management industry with the goal of designing, developing and implementing energy information systems. In recent years, however, Charley’s experience has refined his focus into culture change for the purpose of sitebased conservation. His passion is clear—to empower people to save energy, as people are the ones who truly make the difference between conservation or waste. By implementing a conservation culture and allowing for easy, meaningful analysis of energy consumption, Charley is changing the way America’s commercial buildings use energy.

Bob has spent the last 35 years focused on the creation of software supporting the presentation and analysis of energy consumption and cost data. Along with his partner, Charley Haupt, Bob designed and built The Utility Manager, the first Windows-based energy accounting software. As Software as a Service (SaaS) began to trend, Charley and Bob created the EnergyCenter from the framework of The Utility Manager. Utility Manager (UM) family of energy accounting products included support for deregulated energy procurement, supply contract management, the ENERGY STAR Automated Benchmarking System (ABS), emissions reporting, and interval data (IDR) collection and analysis. UM’s invoice processing features have been utilized by some of the largest corporations in the US to keep their energy bills paid and to collect valuable consumption and cost data in the process.

EnergyCenter provides online access to energy accounting and several other energy management functions, such as sophisticated reports and Interval Data. This allows energy management professionals to run a comprehensive program from any computer.
