Public-Facing Dashboards
Template-based and custom dashboards can be shared with the public via public link and/or QR code. These public dashboards only expose the data you allow and feature live, up to the second data.
Measurement & Verification
Create baselines for your facility management team by using built in algorithms which factor in things like consumption rates, weather and occupancy to produce “normalized data”.
Energy Star
Entronix Platform is fully integrated with the Energy Star Portfolio Manager and can provide automated two-way reporting. It also provides Energy Star Score Analysis so you can compare your building with others.
Tenant Connect
In addition to Tenant Billing, the system can also provide intuitive tenant dashboards as a free service – deliver more value to your tenants.
- The Entronix system delivers reporting & analysis on electrical, gas and water consumption, greenhouse emissions, peak demand, tenant overtime billing, EUI and much more.
- Data can come from many sources – smart meters, pulse input, EMS/BMS systems, utility bill, spreadsheet import or even manual entry.
- System scales to your needs. 1 building/meter or thousands via the same platform with no extra licenses required.
- Get a bird’s eye view of all events as they occur on one screen, then quickly drill down to what’s important.
- Save time – use our Virtual Briefcase to store your frequent or favorite reports.
- Data retention – cloud-based system allows for unlimited historical data storage.
- Sophisticated Fault Detection constantly monitors all data points and notifies you of issues such as points with unusual values, new peak demand values or an invoice that is abnormally high/low.
- Simple Architecture – Entronix nodes do not require static IP addresses or firewall configuration from the IT department. Simple connect to an active internet connection (wired, WiFi or Cellular) and it is ready to go.
Consumption View
Demand
Track your power usage & avoid peak demand charges
Predicted Power Profile
Predicts the day’s peak demand allowing you to make adjustments
Power Quality
Track your power usage & avoid peak demand charges
Comparison
Track your power usage & avoid peak demand charges
The Consumption view offers a quick overview of your energy consumption. From here, you can see how much energy you’re consuming and how current consumption compares to past years. This view also shows you a prediction of how this month’s energy consumption will compare to last.
Points View
Point View provides the ability to focus on a meter’s individual data points, such as current, line voltage or apparent power.
Search Bar
The search bar lets you quickly find the meter point you’re looking for. Search for points by name, by meter or point type, or by the point’s unit.
Static Links
If a meter point is showing important information, you can create static link to this data in order to share it with others.
Controller View
Controller View offers a behavioral overview of devices not generally considered meters. Users are able to confirm that AHUs and chillers are being used efficiently, as well as monitor other sensors in the building.
AHU
Monitor the general behavior of air handler units as well as cold/hot deck temperature, humidity, current for scheduling issues and fault detection.
Chillers
See facility chiller data such as current, chilled water return, set point & supply temperature, number of compressors, and supply flow. Observe chiller scheduleing with the heatmap overview for optimal sequencing.
Steam Trap Monitoring
Immediate steam trap leak detection and real time inlet/outlet temperatures.
Garage Fans
Keep an eye on CO levels throughout your garage. Garage fans can be programmed to a schedule or manually turned on and off from this view.
Energy Dashboards
Dashboards allow users to combine multiple reports in one view providing a central location to view all information relevant to their portfolio.
Different groups can create different dashboards, such as an engineering view and a financial view.
Analysis & Reporting
Our system offers a number of different reports designed to help you better understand how your building is using energy. Generating and storing reports only requires a few clicks of the mouse. The Entornix platfrom offers targeted visulizations for all types of energy data.
Financial Reports
Financial reports convert kWs into dollars and help users better understand energy use and costs.
Green House Emissions
Examine the environmental impact of your energy usage and efficiency strategies.
Live History
Compare multiple data points on the same graph and generate reports for comparison/analysis.
Monthly Comparison
Predict future energy consumption by analyzing past energy usage data.
Portfolio Manager
The Entronix Platform allows users to arbitrate over their entire catalog of buildings.
Realistic comparisons of performance can viewed and made into reports to aid in maximizing energy efficiency.
Multiple Sites
Financial reports convert kilowatts into dollars and help users better understand energy use and costs.
Energy Usage Intensity
Calculate energy use per building by square foot for accurate comparison and analysis.
Utility Grid
Quickly calculate average consumption cost throughout your portfolio.
MAD Test
Automated data input errors and outlier detection.

Dashboards
Quickly calculate average consumption cost throughout your portfolio.
Data Completeness
Automated data input errors and outlier detection.
Energy Star Integration
Managing an Energy Star account is streamlined with the Entronix Platform.
All the tasks required to properly handle an Energy Star account can be performed directly within our software.
Import Buildings
All information currently listed on an Energy Star account can be imported into EMP. This includes all buildings listed and all meters associated with said buildings. This avoids the repetition inherent in requiring the user to reenter data already input on Energy Star.
Edit Energy Star Information
On top of importing already existing Information from Energy Star, EMP’s Energy Star Integration also allows you to edit this information. New meters can be added, and existing meters can be associated with meters on the EMP site.
Export Energy Data
After Energy Star meters have been associated with meters added to EMP, the energy usage data stored on EMP can be exported directly to Energy Star. This allows Energy Star to receive the most accurate and up to date information on your building’s energy usage, while requiring no action you directly.
Fault Detection
The Entronix Energy Management Platform is the next step in energy management – in addition to allowing users to track and visualize up-to-the-second building performance, EMP can identify and alert building engineers of problems as soon as they occur, or in many cases, even before. Operational issues like HVAC malfunctions can be flagged and addressed at the first sign of trouble, rather than after failures have already resulted in lost revenue or upset tenants.
Because fault detection needs are varied, Entronix provides three different tiers: instant alarming, fault-detection rules, and artificially intelligent expert systems.
Alarms
Alarms can be attached to any point in the system to alert users of problems as soon as they occur. When a point exceeds a given level, drops below a threshold, or leaves a specified range, users can receive an email or text message alerting them of the issue. On top of these basic conditions, alarms can be configured to alert the user when more complex conditions occur, such as when a building is approaching a new peak demand value.
Rules
Rules expand upon alarms, giving users a simple tool to detect issues using more sophisticated criteria. Using a simple point-and-click interface, users can quickly create rules that combine any number of conditional statements along with any stipulations (for example, that the conditions remain valid for more than some time, or according to a schedule). Points can be compared to each other, values, user-created calculations, or any combination of the three.
Expert Systems
Expert Systems provide users with the most sophisticated fault detection possible. A single expert can analyze dozens of points at once and use historical point values in addition to real-time values to make it’s decision. This allows the expert system to monitor how far a point deviates from the typical, when a point reaches a new maximum or minimum, when consumption patterns vary from a building’s norm, and more.
