Remote metering of tenant energy consumption

While it’s understandable to want fewer systems, BMS solutions are typically deeply integrated with building control (HVAC, lighting, security), but their data analytics capabilities are limited. The Energodati platform is not meant to replace a BMS — it serves as a data analytics tool focused on monitoring, analyzing, and visualizing energy usage and costs. The platform can also collect and structure data from BMS systems, helping to avoid manual data aggregation.

The investment depends on the type of existing meters (for example, whether they support remote reading), the size of the facility, the required data transmission setup (and location of metering points), as well as the need for integrations with other systems. Implementation costs are lower if meters already have built-in remote reading capability.

The payback period depends on the property type, energy efficiency level, and consumption structure. Typically, commercial facilities see savings within the first year or heating season, mainly due to timely detection of consumption anomalies and improper heating or cooling settings. Remote data collection not only reduces energy waste but also automates processes and saves staff time. The exact payback period and benefits may vary by organization.

Main meters (e.g., from Sadales Tīkls) can be connected to the platform immediately. For a medium-sized facility with around 50 meters, full setup — including installation, connection, and configuration — usually takes 1–2 weeks, depending on existing infrastructure. If only smart meters are installed, setup time is even shorter.

The platform supports smart meters equipped with M-Bus, Wireless M-Bus, Modbus, or LoRa / LoRaWAN communication. Heat, gas, and water meters can also be connected using pulse reading modules. If you’re unsure about your meter’s compatibility, we recommend taking photos of the existing meters and contacting us for guidance.

Accuracy depends on the meter’s data transmission technology. For example, M-Bus provides the most precise readings (identical to physical meter values) and the most stable communication since meters are hardwired to the data logger. Meters using pulse reading modules may show slight variations from the physical meter over time.

Consumption and IoT sensor data can be received by month, week, day, hour, or even shorter intervals — depending on needs and the technology of installed meters or sensors. The platform allows users to generate reports and analyze data according to their specific requirements.

Data are stored in secure European data centers on firewall-protected VPS infrastructure. Regular backups are made for additional safety, ensuring that all data can be restored at any time.

Typical users include owners of office buildings and warehouses, municipalities, manufacturing, and retail companies. The key benefits mentioned by our clients are organized and accurate metering, better control of shared costs, easy data analysis, reduced total consumption, and improved energy efficiency.

We ensure uninterrupted data flow from the equipment we supply and install, along with consultation on platform use. Phone support is available on business days from 9:00 to 17:00. Issues can be reported via email at atbalsts@energodati.lv We respond within 24 hours. If a physical equipment fault is detected, we provide on-site support at the client’s facility.

We use only industry-standard protocols such as M-Bus, Modbus, WM-Bus, DLMS, and open gateway devices. If you decide to switch providers, the equipment can be reconfigured to send data to another service provider or your own infrastructure.
