FAQS

1. What are all these alerts that are popping up in ENERGY STAR after I share?
   • You may see some alerts in ENERGY STAR during this process. Alerts may appear advising you that you're overwriting existing permissions, if you're sharing properties that have already been shared with us. Those are fine to disregard, and won't stop you from sharing.
   • You may also see alerts saying that you don't have permissions to share certain properties. If that's the case, you need to connect with an account holder who does have that permission and get them to re-share the properties with you, either at 'Full Access' or 'Custom Access' with 'Share Forward' permissions.
2. How do I check my permissions and Measurabl's permissions to ENERGY STAR properties? 
   • If you're checking on permissions for a single property, just head to that property's 'Summary' tab in ENERGY STAR and review the 'Sharing this Property' table. Find the account whose permissions you're checking, and select 'View My Permissions' Or 'View Contact's Permissions':
   • If you need to review permissions across properties, head to the 'Sharing' tab at the top of the page Search by property or contact Click the dropdown in the 'Action' column to see the options you have for sharing. You can also click 'Download Sharing Report' at the bottom of the page to view in an exportable version.
   • Note that for Measurabl, the report will only list 'Exchange Data' in the 'Contact Permissions' column, so if you're having issues you'll need to head to the 'Summary' tab for individual properties to make sure Measurabl has full access to the property and its meters. I have a lot of buildings to share in ENERGY STAR, will Measurabl help?
   • This service is available depending on your subscription level. If you are interested, please reach out to our Support Team or your Customer Success Manager.
3. What if I want to share a property(s) between two Measurabl portfolios?
   • To share an ENERGY STAR property between two Measurabl portfolios (EX: Portfolio 1 & Portfolio 2), follow these steps:
     • Firstly, be sure that Portfolio 1's ENERGY STAR account has Portfolio 2's ENERGY STAR account added as a contact. This will be similar steps to the article here.
     • Share the property from Portfolio 1's ENERGY STAR account into Portfolio 2's ENERGY STAR account as well as the Measurabl Measurabl contact - with full access.
     • In Portfolio 2's ENERGY STAR account, share the property to Measurabl Measurabl with full access (following the steps in the beginning of this article).
