NWP Services Corporation Wins Technology Choice Award

Aug. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- NWP Services Corporation (NWP), a leading provider of smart solutions to lower operating and utility costs for the multifamily housing industry, today announced that it is the recipient of a 2011 Technology Choice Award from Multi-Housing News’ (MHN) readers; winner in the Utility Management category.

“We are delighted to be named a Technology Choice Award recipient by MHN readers and our customers this year in the Utility Management category,” said Michael Radice, CEO and president of NWP. “We see great promise in many multifamily markets with regard to rising rents. The challenge, however, is that energy prices and the cost of financing has risen as well, even outpacing gains in a number of those same markets. This means that owners and operators must become even more diligent in reducing expenses, improving cash flow and increasing Funds from Operation, and it starts with good business intelligence. At the most basic level, effective managers need an accurate picture of where they stand on utility costs and consumption, within their portfolio and against other communities in similar markets. Solid intelligence allows accurate property benchmarking and forecasting, and a springboard into improvements that will drive revenue. I know of only one utility management product in multifamily that does this: UtilitySmart,” added Radice.

UtilitySmart optimizes utility spend and encompasses ten intelligent modules from which to choose. Modules target operational improvements for a calculated return. After capturing a community’s costs and consumption data, a UtilitySmart plan is devised specifically for the communities’ location and dynamic.  Whether business intelligence and benchmarking analytics, utility theft recovery, vacant recovery or waste management, NWP yields are based on over a decade of property-level experience that generate measurable results. By controlling operational costs, UtilitySmart is able to create process efficiencies and increase asset value.

In recent news, NWP announced it was the first utility management provider in its sector to become an ENERGY STAR Certified Partner. Through an automated interface with ENERGY STAR’s Portfolio Manager, NWP enables property managers to benchmark a building’s energy efficiency to meet coming state and local mandates and further maximize the benefit of energy-efficient standards for residents, owners, lenders and investors.
