Functions

Multi-site Monitoring

Monitoring of relative and absolute values for multi-site portfolio (consumption/cost/emission). Benchmarking based on buildings of similar nature or type.

Portfolio Overview:

• Portfolio: 7 buildings
• Consumption By area: 109.02 kWh/m²
• Actual consumption: 21,296,298.84 kWh
• 88.40% of budget
• Total area: 195,342.00 m²

Visual representation of portfolio data, showing consumption by area and budget status.

Single-site Monitoring and Submetering

Detailed monitoring of the distribution of consumption, costs and emissions at campus, building, floor and room level combined energy flow (Sankey) and time series diagrams.

Visualizations include Sankey diagrams showing energy flow and time series graphs for consumption data.

Evaluation of business specific energy performance indicators (EnPIs)

Flexible creation of energy performance indicators relevant to a business and detailed evaluation over time in compliance with ISO 50001 standard, comparison to baseline periods to ensure progress on right track.

Emission Monitoring and Reporting

Automatically monitor, report, and manage the carbon emissions of your building portfolio along Scope 1 to 3 with a single dashboard.

Dashboards display emissions data by site, scope, and time, with year-on-year trends.

Machine Learning-based Anomaly Detection

Let machine learning algorithms detect anomalies and unexpected behavior in your energy consumption data on meter level.

Graphs illustrate historical consumption data with measured, expected, and tolerance levels.

Data History and Aggregation

Automatically logs, stores and aggregates meter data points for energy and water. It presents the data history to view the trend over different time periods, highlighting defined budget overruns.

Visualizations show total consumption trends, budget comparisons, and water volume budgets.

Benchmarking

Ranking view and matrix view comparing own buildings based on absolute or relative consumption/cost/emission values. Available detailed view of single buildings and respective energy and water metrics. View of energy consumption, cost or emission data over time enabling year-over-year comparison via selection in time filter.

Weather normalization of heating and cooling consumption data to provide transparency on consumption patterns and efficiency improvements regardless of local weather influences.

Monitor consumption, costs, and emissions compared with defined budgets to derive measures at an early stage.

Benchmarking building performance using Energy Star scores. Easily connect your Building X Energy Manager with the Energy Star Portfolio Manager.

Includes ENERGY STAR site ranking and portfolio summary, with detailed building insights via heatmap.

Forecasting for Energy Consumption

Forecasting service enabling projection of energy consumption for up to twelve months based on historical values.

Meter-level analysis

Monitoring and analysis of single or multiple meters to drill down in consumption details.

Includes visualizations for meter comparison, daily consumption patterns, and load duration curves.
