Once you are up and running, we can then look to increase the energy savings you make through the addition of sub-metering.

3) Connect all your energy management platforms

For our larger clients, we can additionally integrate data from 3rd -party energy management systems, Building Management Systems (BMS), EV charging data, solar and much more.

EMMA AI is our intelligent monitoring system designed for businesses with multiple locations. In just a couple of hours, EMMA AI connects to your existing energy data and commences the tracking of energy usage across all your sites every 30 minutes. Analysis of this half-hour data allows the platform to learn about your business and identify where gas and electricity are being wasted.

Together with allowing you to see potential savings at a business-wide level, importantly, your site managers receive a simple email telling them where energy was wasted over the last 24 hours and how to prevent it from happening again. This simple step leads to immediate actionable savings, as your staff become an army of energy managers, changing habits and saving you money and CO2 emissions every single day!

EMMA AI is saving our customers millions every single year … all with zero up-front capital expenditure!

Sub-metering services

For energy managers overseeing large estates, understanding energy consumption at a granular level is essential. That’s where submetering comes in.

Installing additional meters beyond the main utility meter to track energy consumption by specific areas, departments, or individual pieces of equipment can provide detailed visibility into where and how energy your being used, giving EMMA AI more data to work with.

Optimal Monitoring can handle the installation, support and maintenance of remote meters, together with the processing of all data.

Large organisations will typically have an array of platforms managing their energy, from Building Management Systems (BMS) that handle utilities, heating and lighting to modern solar and EV charging management systems.

By integrating these platforms with EMMA AI, you can achieve further energy savings, analyse complex issues, reduce energy waste, and streamline maintenance all from a single platform.
