For Utility and Third Party app developers, the GBA has new Developer Resources available including a Usage-Point for Aggregated Data page and a Utility-Bill Data Mapping page.
The North American Energy Standards Board's (NAESB) REQ.21 ESPI, the standard commonly known as Green Button®, is the international energy and water data-access and -sharing standard. From it's inception, the standard has supported Aggregated Data Sharing. To assist developers with standards-based Aggregated Data Sharing, the new Usage-Point for Aggregated Data page provides a step-by-step overview, with XML examples, of two key XML elements in the ESPI schema's Usage-Point type.
The new Utility-Bill Data Mapping page provides a step-by-step guide on how to map a Utility Bill to the Green Button Usage Summary XML format of the ESPI Usage/File Stream in order to summarize energy usage, in a standardized format, for a billing period.
The GBA continues to provide new information and resources for developers, visit the GBA's Developer Resources page for a full list of resources. GBA's Technical Experts are also available to provide additional, customized and cost-effective technical education or assistance, if needed.
