Raw Bill Data
Familiarize yourself with our relational heirarchy of utility billing data.
Utility Account
A UtilityAccount represents a customer account with a Utility Company. They have many UtilityBills.

Utility Account Endpoints
All data endpoints require Authentication.
List Accounts
GET /utility_accounts
Returns a list of the UtilityAccounts accessible to you in EnergyPrint.
Get one Account
GET /utility_accounts/:id
Returns the UtilityAccount with the corresponding id, with its UtilityMeters nested inside.
Get Account’s Bills
GET /utility_accounts/:id/bills
Returns the UtilityAccount with the corresponding id, with its UtilityBills nested inside.
Edit Utility Account Metadata
PUT /utility_accounts/:id
Updates a UtilityAccounts metadata object with the request body. Returns the updated UtilityAccount.
Utility Bill
A UtilityBill contains multiple UtilityCharges and UtilityUsages. A bill belongs to a single UtilityAccount, and may apply to multiple UtilityMeters.

Utility Charge
A UtilityCharge represents a charge line item on a bill. It is owned by a UtilityBill and a UtilityMeter.

Bill Endpoints
The following endpoints return raw bill data in the form of UtilityBills, UtilityCharges, and UtilityUsages:
A UtilityBill is owned by a single UtilityAccount and applies to one or more UtilityMeters. Edited bills will include an original_utility_bill_id that refers to the original, archived bill. This allows you to easily react to and record edits to your billing data.
Calendar-Normalized Data
Snapshot Info
SnapshotInfo is a year-normalized look at how a property’s EUI, ECI, carbon output, and ENERGY STAR score are trending, year-over-year, in three key metrics.
A complete SnapshotInfo requires two years of complete bill data to generate.
{
"property_id": 1426,
"ep_object_type": "SnapshotInfo",
"effective_month": "2019-02-01T00:00:00.000Z",
"ENERGY_STAR_rating": 61,
"current_cost_per_sq_ft": 1.4069,
"previous_cost_per_sq_ft": 1.2589,
"yoy_percent_change_cost_per_sq_ft": -0.1052,
"current_kbtus_per_sq_ft": 73.4344,
"previous_kbtus_per_sq_ft": 69.9487,
"yoy_percent_change_kbtus_per_sq_ft": -0.0475,
"current_co2_per_sq_ft": 22.7956,
"previous_co2_per_sq_ft": 22.3907,
"yoy_percent_change_co2_per_sq_ft": -0.0178,
"created_at": "2022-02-10T05:40:34.000Z",
"updated_at": "2022-02-10T05:40:34.000Z"
}
current metrics are derived from data over the 12 months preceding the snapshot’s effective_month.
previous metrics are derived form data over the 12 months preceding the current period.
A property will have SnapshotInfo available once it has 12 months of complete bill history.
Endpoint
Snapshots are generated per-property. You can get them using this endpoint:
Monthly Consumption Data
Monthly Consumption Data is your utility bill data, date-adjusted to be normalized by month.
Monthly Consumption Data are available for an entire Property, a single UtilityMeter or an Energy Type. (e.g. ELECTRIC).
