Cost Reduction and Operational Efficiency
How does the platform automatically detect energy waste?
Our Smart Electricity Waste Detection application acts as a constant guardian for your portfolio. Using AI-driven algorithms, it predicts a meter’s expected consumption and triggers actionable alerts the moment actual usage deviates.
High consumption during non-operational hours can add +20% to a monthly bill. While traditional analysis can take 1–6 months to spot this waste, our platform reduces detection time to just 1–3 days. This proactive, AI-driven approach is what separates Energis.Cloud from basic monitoring tools, turning data into immediate financial savings.
Our peak power demand charges are a major cost. How can Energis.Cloud help us reduce them?
Demand charges can account for 20–60% of a utility bill, making them a critical area for optimization. Energis.Cloud provides sophisticated load forecasting and peak detection alerts that notify you before a new peak is set, giving your team time to shed or shift loads.
The results are significant. The Paperdì paper plant, for example, used our platform and “avoided about 1500€ per month in power peaks penalties.”
We suspect issues like water leaks or simultaneous heating and cooling. How quickly can your system identify them?
Our system identifies these costly anomalies with exceptional speed. Real-time monitoring and automated alerts provide immediate notification, preventing waste that would otherwise go undetected for weeks or months. A powerful example comes from one of our clients in the hospitality sector:
“With Energis.Cloud, we identified and fixed a 70 m³/day water leak the same day it occurred. Before, it would have taken 2 to 3 weeks to detect.” – Abdeljabbar Rharssi, Cluster Chief Engineer, The Hotel Brussels
Can Energis.Cloud help us optimize our HVAC and lighting systems?
Yes. Our HVAC Remote Control and Lighting Remote Control applications allow you to monitor and manage multiple units across your entire portfolio from a single, centralized platform. Using intelligent scheduling and command logic, you can turn units on/off, adjust setpoints, and define operational modes to optimize energy use. A recent case study demonstrated that our solution reduced HVAC consumption without any human intervention, proving the effectiveness of automated control.
It’s important to note that our Remote Control solution is not intended to replace large or highly complex BMS systems. Instead, it is designed as a light-BMS, ideal for managing HVAC and lighting across large portfolios of small and medium-sized sites—from hundreds to thousands—where traditional BMS infrastructure would be too costly, too complex, or unnecessary.
How does your platform automate the creation of energy reports for different stakeholders?
Energis.Cloud automates the entire reporting process, “dramatically reducing reporting time compared to tools like Excel or PowerBI.”
This allows you to eliminate tedious manual work by creating and automatically sharing personalized PDF reports for different audiences—from technical teams who need granular data to management who require high-level summaries. This ensures seamless communication and keeps all stakeholders aligned on energy performance. Beyond operational efficiency, the platform also provides robust tools for sustainability initiatives, which we will explore next.
