A portfolio total tells you the size of the change. The location view helps you decide where to focus.
Bars show actual spending. Vertical markers show each location’s budget.
In this example, it contributes 79% of the portfolio’s dollar variance. The next question is what changed at that location.
Design previews use fictional data. Available views depend on account data and configuration.

Explore the DUV product roadmapA few useful answers.
Start with your questions. We’ll use the walkthrough to discuss what DUV could support for your organization.
Who is DUV designed for?
People responsible for explaining utility spending across buildings, accounts or meters. That often includes the person who brings the cost picture into finance, operations or leadership discussions.
What will I see in a walkthrough?
A guided look at the illustrative DUV demo, including portfolio, meter, budget and pricing reference views. We’ll discuss which questions matter to your business and what data would be needed for a relevant view.
Do I need to bring my utility bills?
You can start with your questions. The initial walkthrough can use fictional demo data. Any later review of your organization’s information can be scoped separately.
Is DUV included in my BSE relationship?
Scope and availability are discussed individually. Being a Brilliant Source Energy customer does not automatically mean DUV is included in your current services.
Does DUV guarantee savings?
No. DUV supports visibility and review. A difference, trend or historical price comparison is a starting point for investigation, not a promise of savings or a recommendation to change suppliers.
How is DUV priced?
Pricing is shared privately after discussing your needs and the appropriate scope. The walkthrough is the starting point for that conversation.
