&lt;p&gt;For facility budgets, the most useful energy management tools connect consumption data to financial outcomes, not just usage trends. I’d look for ROI modeling, tariff analysis, demand charge visibility, measurement and verification, and reporting that finance teams can understand without heavy technical translation.&lt;/p&gt;
