eTRACK CBA is a cloud-based cost-benefit analysis calculator designed for utilities and energy program administrators to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of energy efficiency and demand-side management (DSM) programs. The platform replaces traditional, complex spreadsheet models with a streamlined, web-based solution that enables instantaneous evaluation of program and measure cost-effectiveness at various levels. Users can define custom tests, run analyses in seconds, and view assumptions and results in an interactive dashboard. eTRACK CBA calculates total program costs on a per kilowatt, per kilowatt hour, or per mmbtu basis, levelized over the life of the program. The system supports role-based security, integrates with other eTRACK modules, and provides outputs for informed decision-making and program adjustments. Its automation and centralization improve operational efficiency, data accuracy, and regulatory compliance for utilities managing energy efficiency initiatives.
