Energy Management System
A comprehensive energy monitoring and optimization platform that helps commercial buildings reduce costs through intelligent automation and solar integration.
The Challenge
A commercial property manager struggled with energy costs:
- No visibility - Utility bills the only data point
- Wasted energy - HVAC running in empty spaces
- Solar underutilized - No storage optimization
- Peak charges - High demand charges from spikes
They needed intelligence to reduce costs.
Our Approach
We built an IoT-based energy management platform with AI-driven optimization.
Optimization Strategy
- Measure Everything - Submetering across all loads
- Predict Demand - Forecast usage patterns
- Automate Response - Real-time load adjustment
- Store Smart - Battery optimization with solar
The Solution
Energy Monitoring
- Real-time consumption dashboards
- Circuit-level submetering
- Power quality analysis
- Usage pattern identification
Demand Management
- Peak demand prediction
- Load shedding automation
- Demand response participation
- Alert thresholds
Solar & Storage
- Generation monitoring
- Battery state of charge
- Self-consumption optimization
- Grid export management
HVAC Integration
- Occupancy-based control
- Setback scheduling
- Pre-conditioning optimization
- Zone temperature monitoring
