Continuous Energy Monitoring, Powered by Eniscope

The Eniscope platform is the technology foundation behind everything Summa does. It uses submetering to measure individual circuits in your facility, giving you real-time, itemized visibility into your energy use, from any device, anywhere.

What will Eniscope tell you that you don't already know?

If you've ever looked at a utility bill and wondered where all that energy went, you're not alone. Most facilities run on assumptions. Someone thinks the chiller is fine. The HVAC system is running as scheduled. The new motor is more efficient than the old one. But you can't manage what you can't measure.

"On average, 30% of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted, which presents building owners and managers with a huge opportunity for operating cost savings."
U.S. Department of Energy

Submetering and continuous monitoring show you where that waste is happening.

Once You Can See the Leak, You Can Fix It

These aren't dramatic problems. They're the ordinary, invisible waste that adds up.

Manufacturing: 26.7% Saved

A UK plastics manufacturer installed continuous monitoring across production. Analysis revealed machines running energy-intensively during unproductive start-up periods and inefficiencies in air conditioning scheduling. Result: 26.7% annual energy savings, £237,000 (about $300,000) per year. (Source: Tex Plastics, Best Energy)

Hospitality: $4,000 a Month

A hotel installed continuous monitoring across guest rooms and back-of-house. Analysis revealed faulty pump controls running unnecessarily, cold room doors causing HVAC overload, and equipment left in standby mode in vacant guest rooms. Result: approximately $4,000 in monthly savings, no capital investment required. (Source: Mövenpick Hotel Nairobi, Best Energy)

Grocery: 3 Million kWh

A Danish grocery chain installed monitoring across 93 stores and 1,200 circuits. Real-time data revealed refrigeration running against air temperature rather than food temperature, and idle equipment during off-hours. Result: over 3 million kWh saved annually and 600 tons of CO2 avoided. (Source: MENY/SPAR via IQ Energy Nordic, Best Energy)

Three Outcomes from Continuous Monitoring

Reduce energy costs. See where energy is being wasted, often where no one suspects. Identify what drives your highest costs and peak demand. Confirm operational changes deliver the savings you expected, so savings don't erode over time.

Avoid downtime and equipment failures. Catch refrigeration, HVAC, pump, and motor problems before they become outages. Detect power quality issues that shorten equipment life. A failure you catch early is a maintenance ticket. A failure you catch late is a lost production day.

Make informed capital investment decisions. Build measurement and verification into every capital project. Qualify for utility incentive programs that require M&V documentation. Make the internal business case for upgrades with defensible numbers, not vendor claims.

How It Works

Three integrated components: hardware, software, and human expertise.

IoT Hardware

A licensed electrician connects Eniscope to individual circuits at your electrical panel. Each unit captures second-by-second data across more than 50 measured parameters, including power consumption, demand, power factor, and voltage, with additional inputs for gas, water, temperature, and humidity. A suite of wireless sensors extends the system to refrigeration, HVAC, and ambient conditions throughout your facility.

Cloud Software Platform

Live data streams to a cloud-based dashboard of itemized circuits monitored in real time, accessible from any device. Custom views, automated reports, alerts for anomalies, and AI-driven detection of waste patterns. The software integrates with your existing building management system or CAFM via API, complementing what you already have rather than replacing it.

Virtual Energy Management

A dedicated team of energy analysts reviews your data monthly, flags anomalies, prioritizes the highest-impact opportunities, and meets with you to discuss findings. AI surfaces the patterns. Humans interpret them and tell you what to do next, in plain English. Behind them, 24/7 technical support from Best Energy hubs in the UK, USA, and Malaysia.

Why Submetering Works

One Wisconsin example. A dairy was preparing to spend $50,000 to replace a 20-year-old variable frequency drive on a key piece of process equipment. Power metering showed the new drive would offer no measurable efficiency gain. The dairy kept the existing drive and avoided the $50,000 expense. The capital freed up was redirected to other efficiency projects. (Source: Focus on Energy, Dairy Processing Industry Energy Best Practices Guidebook)

That's M&V before the investment, not after.
