A few days after the end of each month, PenLight will send the meter data to your Portfolio Manager property.
Building Benchmarking Steps
Once Penlight has received your property and meter sharing request, you will be contacted to ensure the sharing is correctly configured to include all physical meters that represent the property.
Please allow up to 10 working days for PenLight to contact you.
A Peninsula Light Co. Data Exchange with Portfolio Manager Consumption Request Form will need to be completed.
If you haven’t already done so, email PenLIght to let them know you are wanting the meter data automatically sent to your Portfolio Manager Account.
In Portfolio Manager, connect with PenLight by clicking the “Contacts” link in the upper right. Then choose “Add Contact” and search for PenLight. After you’ve found PenLight, choose the “Connect” button to send them a connection request.
Once the request is accepted, you will be able to share your property and meter.

For most properties, there only needs to be one meter defined per building. If there are multiple physical meters that provide energy, PenLight will aggregate the data and provide the total to a single Portfolio Manager meter.
