Electricity overview – the complete overview of electricity consumption
Electricity consumption is typically the largest and most dynamic item in a building's energy balance sheet. It's also where most of the hidden potential lies. But without detailed insight into where and when electricity is used, any efforts are based on assumptions.
With ConneX's Electricity Overview, electricity data from the entire building or portfolio is collected in one common overview in OakSystem. Consumption can be viewed in real time, compared over time and analyzed across buildings, areas and functions - so both the consultancy and building owners have a solid foundation to work from.
Electricity overview is about more than registration. It is about making electricity consumption visible, usable and controllable – from real-time monitoring of electricity consumption to long-term optimization.
Eloverblik in ConneX thus creates measurable value – both for the consultancy and for the building owners and operators who ultimately benefit from the solution.
“With detailed electrical data, recommendations become documentable results.”
Measurement at main meter, submeter and circuit level
A real overview requires that consumption can be seen in the right resolution. A single main meter gives the total, but not the answer to where the electricity is actually used.
With ConneX's solution, electricity consumption can be measured at the main meter, sub-meter and circuit level, so that consumption can be divided into buildings, floors, leases, facilities or individual functions. Data is collected directly in OakSystem and can be analyzed at the level that makes sense for the individual task.
For consulting, this means that recommendations to the customer can be based on actual consumption, not estimates. For operations, this means that costs can be attributed precisely and that optimization measures can be prioritized where the effect is greatest.
Real-time data and history
A snapshot tells one thing. Developments over time tell something completely different. Both are crucial for making the right decisions about electricity consumption.
With ConneX's solution, electricity data is collected continuously and presented as both real-time consumption and history. Monitoring electricity consumption becomes both a snapshot and a trend in the same platform. This makes it possible to see current loads, compare periods, detect gradual changes and document the effect of specific measures.
For the consultancy, the history provides a strong foundation for analyses and reports to the client. For the building owner, the real-time insight means that deviations can be detected early, while the history shows whether the development is going in the right direction.
Visualization and dashboards in OakSystem
Data only creates value when it can be understood. Heavy spreadsheets and technical extracts rarely make a difference in everyday life.
With ConneX's solution, electricity data in OakSystem is presented through clear dashboards, where consumption, development and deviations can be seen at a glance.
Eloverblik is built for practical use – not for specialists – and can be customized so that each user sees exactly what is relevant to their role.
For the advisory service, this means that the dialogue with the customer can be based on visual, easy-to-understand images of consumption. For the operations, this means that the overview is available in everyday life and can be shared with colleagues, management and the board without technical preparation.
Integration with other data sources
Electricity consumption rarely stands alone. It is linked to heating, water, indoor climate and the overall operation of the building – and only becomes truly valuable when it can be seen in this context.
With ConneX's solution, electricity data can be integrated with data from district heating, gas, water, indoor climate and other data sources directly in OakSystem. This provides a comprehensive picture of the building's operations and makes it possible to see connections that would otherwise be hidden - for example, how ventilation, temperature and consumption interact.
For the consultancy, this means a broader analysis basis and the ability to identify potentials that cross supply types. For the building owner, this means that one platform covers the entire building's data work - without having to switch between multiple systems.
Data sharing with third parties
Eldata creates the greatest value when it can be shared with those who need it. This could be advisors, ESG consultants, auditors, management reporting or external reporting systems.
With ConneX's solution, electricity data can be exported, reported and shared via API directly from OakSystem. This means that data can be integrated into the customer's own systems, included in automated reports or made available to third parties as needed - without manual handling.
For the consultancy, this means that data from the customer is easily accessible and can be used directly in analyses and reports. For the building owner, this means that consumption data can be shared with partners and used in the documentation that is increasingly demanded by authorities, banks and investors.
The technical platform behind the solution
The technical platform behind electricity monitoring – OakSystem, gateway, data storage in Denmark and communication via LoRaWAN and 5G – is described in detail below.
Electricity overview – all in one platform
Eloverblik in ConneX is about making consumption visible, usable and documentable. With measurement in the right resolution, continuous data collection, clear visualization, integration across data sources and free access to share data, the solution creates a foundation that both advisors and building owners can build on.
OakSystem brings it all together in one overview – so that electricity consumption is no longer a number on a bill, but an active tool in operations.
