Clarity Platform

Clarity is PSD’s software platform for energy efficiency programs. It brings program management, on-site field data collection, and physics-based energy modeling into a single integrated, secure environment — so the people who design, deliver, and participate in a program all work from the same data source.

Its modules span the full program lifecycle: Compass (program management hub), Scout (mobile field data collection), Beacon (heat pump toolkit), Common Engine (rating-tool-agnostic savings engine), Wayfinder (trade ally management), Ledger (reporting and analytics), Onsite Tool (QA and inspection), Manifest (energy code training and compliance), and Dial Pad (customer care). Different users may focus on specific Clarity modules, but the platform has something for everyone.

Compass

Compass is PSD’s program management platform and the core of the Clarity suite — built by program implementers, for program implementers. It connects stakeholders in an energy efficiency program to a single, secure source of program data and is highly configurable: multiple programs can run in a single instance, with multiple projects per site and granular role-based access.

Compass supported more than 70 commercial and residential programs and today serves 2,800+ users across 16 implementations nationwide and has passed security audits for utilities including Duke Energy, PG&E, Exelon, NYSERDA, and FirstEnergy. It is also the core of PSD’s nationwide RESNET Accredited Rater Provider program.

Beacon

Beacon is the Clarity Heat Pump Toolkit — a DOE IRA-approved, contractor-facing tool, developed with funding from DOE and NYSERDA, that puts physics-based EnergyPlus modeling behind a simple, forms-based interface. It lets residential retrofit contractors model envelope load-reduction measures and size heat pumps for the future. Beacon solves several problems in the residential retrofit world.

Scout

Scout is the mobile companion to Compass; it is a publicly available iOS and Android app that collects on-site information on a tablet and synchronizes it to Compass. It enables field staff to carry out building audits, assessments, equipment installations, and quality assurance, with in-workflow validation feedback that ensures required information is captured before staff leaves the field, so that what happens on-site becomes program data without a separate re-keying step.

Ledger

Ledger is Clarity’s reporting and analytics module. It combines user dashboards, pre-defined and ad hoc reports, and graphically rich PowerBI analytics fed from a secure, Compass-connected data warehouse — plus PSD’s nationally recognized homeowner energy reports — to meet program, contractor, and customer reporting needs from one connected source of data.
