Energy360™ DataView - Maximise business efficiency and grow sustainably
29 January 2025
Energy management is about more than just keeping the lights on. We want to help businesses optimise resources, reduce waste, and position themselves for long-term growth and on target to achieve their sustainability goals. That’s why we built Energy360™ DataView.
As an existing customer, once you contact us to register for Energy360™ DataView, we will collect and analyse your business’ historical energy data. This will give you complete clarity over how you consume energy. Moving forward, it updates daily to show you your recent energy consumption, helping you identify and track energy trends at anything from a macro, monthly level to a micro, half hourly level.
You can choose how frequently its in-built, scheduled reporting exports your energy data for you to analyse and ultimately use that data to plan your energy consumption effectively.
Rising bills and a competitive business environment mean that a considered, proactive approach to energy management isn’t a luxury anymore - it’s a necessity.
1. Save time & resources
Managing energy data at a business level can be extremely complicated.
It's time-consuming for businesses to juggle multiple priorities, dedicating manpower to monitoring energy consumption can put even more stress on already strained operational capacity.
Energy360™ DataView makes tracking, viewing, and inevitably, acting on your energy trends easier than ever. Once it’s aggregated your data into its intuitive dashboard, you’ll have instant visibility into your energy costs and usage patterns.
Not only does that eliminate the need for time-consuming, labour-intensive data collection, it also reduces the likelihood of errors stemming from manual data collection.
You can reclaim time and manpower to reallocate to core operations while gaining a far deeper understanding of your energy consumption. Armed with the data you need to make informed decisions over what works and what doesn’t – all without dedicating an entire team to the task.
2. Analyse data & identify inefficiencies
You know that opportunities for optimisation lie in the finer details.
Energy360™ DataView unlocks a level of granularity that helps you better identify inefficiencies and optimise consumption patterns.
Analysing your data at a micro level might show you that energy spikes occur at certain times, or that certain pieces of equipment or processes consume a disproportionately high amount of energy. You can then track what goes on within your business at those times and adjust accordingly - through investment in more energy-efficient equipment, or by optimising schedules for energy-intensive activities.
3. Lower energy bills & boost long term growth
Energy waste is an invisible drain on resources.
It not only impacts your bottom line, but your market competitiveness. A business that’s overspending on or wasting energy is losing money that should be better spent elsewhere. Energy360™ DataView is designed to provide actionable insights that lead to tangible savings.
The short-term benefit of reducing energy waste is clear - lower energy bills.
As for the long-term benefits? Well, they extend beyond savings. By minimising waste, you can help your business build resilience against rising energy costs and market disruptions. What’s more, having a reputation for effectively minimising waste and optimising overheads can help attract investment as it demonstrates foresight.
4. Track and report your sustainability goals
A considered approach to sustainability can have as much impact on your bottom line as on your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
Energy360™ DataView can equip your business with invaluable data that’ll help you achieve your sustainability goals, by providing detailed insight into your energy usage. You can use it to establish what works – and what doesn’t – to track your progress towards your sustainability goals over time.
What’s more, its ability to offer comprehensive reporting makes communicating that progress much easier, whether that’s to customers, partners, or regulators.
Greater transparency around your drive to sustainability will build trust and enhance your company’s ecological credentials.
5. Data-driven insights for a better strategy
Whether it’s planning for energy-efficient upgrades, cutting overheads, or setting long-term sustainability targets, Energy360™ DataView can give your business consistently reliable and evergreen information. That information can prove key in aligning with broader business objectives, or even fundamentally reshape them.
