Residential Building Portfolios

Efficient energy use and compliance for residential properties

Optimise energy use, improve energy labels, and comply with evolving regulations

Residential building portfolios face the challenge of not only managing energy consumption across numerous properties but also need to adhere to strict energy standards such as the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive, which mandates ISO 50001 compliance.

With Ento, you are able to monitor and improve your energy consumption, fine-tune your heating systems, and track the impact of short- and long-term actions – no matter if it's small energy-saving measures or large-scale energy renovations.

Thanks to intelligent insights, Ento identifies the most effective measures in practice, guiding where to implement new initiatives for reducing carbon emissions.

This includes monitoring solar PV installations and improving energy labels, helping associations lower costs and achieve sustainability goals.

Our solutions support all types of residential building portfolios, from housing associations and residential property management companies to multi-family property operators and municipalities providing social housing.

TECHNOLOGY

Integrated solutions for any residential building portfolio

AI-driven energy management

Gain comprehensive insights into your portfolio’s performance from electricity, heating and water consumption.

Ento’s AI-powered Advisors identify inefficiencies and tracks energy usage for every single building – enabling you to prioritise your energy-savings measures.

Our advanced algorithms are able to automatically detect energy savings and document them to ensure ongoing improvements, helping you reduce costs, enhance energy labels, and meet sustainability targets.

Smart, automated HVAC control

Housing associations often deal with high energy consumption – but have limited control over how residents use their heating.

Ento Control supports you on optimising the forward and return temperature of your district heating systems, preventing inefficiencies and avoiding penalties.

Seamlessly integrated with your existing building management systems, Ento Control helps meet compliance standards and reduces energy usage, saving you money while keeping operations efficient.

Long-term energy strategies  

With Ento Strategy you can plan, execute, and achieve your sustainability goals – all while staying compliant with energy regulations like ISO 50001, improving energy labels, and maximising returns on investments.

Customisable assumptions and emissions tracking help you  stay aligned with evolving laws and market conditions.

Ento Strategy provides a tailored roadmap for each building, simulating the impact of various initiatives to ensure cost-effective decisions, guaranteeing that energy and carbon reduction goals are met in the most profitable way.

OUR IMPACT

What our customers say about Ento

It’s cool that the analysis work and data processing now takes up so little time, that we can use our resources in the buildings. Now the time is spent on what creates value.

Thøger Niels Pørtner
Project Manager Team Fælles Ejendomscenter, Holstebro Municipality

Through our strategic partnership with Ento, we can automatically identify and document energy savings in our branches and buildings. This has resulted in an incredible result oriented tool that helps to create change rather than just reporting on consumption.

Martin Højgrav-Huus
Sustainable Design Engineer, Arbejdernes Landsbank

We are working on all fronts to lower our energy consumption, but combating energy waste through Ento’s solution is an easy way to achieve energy savings immediately – and the results speak for themselves!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Still got questions?

How is Ento different from a traditional Energy Management System (EMS)?

The purpose of an energy management system (EMS) is to collect and visualise raw data from meters installed in buildings. Many EMS users have to spend a lot of time looking at the data or manually configuring alarms to figure out when something is not performing well.

Our solution goes a step further and adds an extra, advanced layer of analytics. We use existing main meter consumption data, which could be collected in an existing EMS or come directly from your utility or meters, and combine it with other, relevant external data such as weather data, building information, opening hours etc.

All alerts are generated automatically by our algorithms and no manual input is required. This is why we can create value within hours of sourcing your energy data.

Can Ento support specific needs like sub-metering or integration/APIs with third-party applications?

Yes, we’re able to handle submeters and can also implement custom integrations to other systems.

How much does Ento cost?

Our services are billed on an annual basis depending on the number and types of buildings you have in your portfolio. In contrast to traditional approaches, we normally don’t charge an upfront or integration fee. We will happily import your data and show you the expected value, and even let you try our platform on your buildings, before you have to make the decision. For a free trial or a quote, please contact our sales team.

How do you secure our data?

We take the security of your data very seriously. To protect your sensitive information, we store all data - including backups - in encrypted form using the industry standard AES-256 encryption algorithm. When you interact with our web service, communication is secured by the HTTPS protocol, ensuring that all data transmitted between your browser and our servers remains confidential.

How can Ento help us comply with local energy regulations and certifications?

Ento provides a suite of tools and features designed to help you comply with local energy regulations and achieve various certifications.

For instance, our Advisor tracks and reduces direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions through detailed analytics and actionable insights. Furthermore, the effect of energy efficiency interventions can be easily measured and verified on our system using the internationally recognised IPMVP-protocol.

Ento Control can optimise indoor air quality while minimising energy consumption by using smart demand-driven control based on CO2 levels, helping you meet regulatory standards.

For long-term decarbonisation, Ento Strategy offers strategic planning aligned with local regulations and sustainability targets, allowing you to create and monitor decarbonisation roadmaps.

Additionally, Ento supports compliance with certifications, e.g., with ISO 50001 by providing a robust energy management framework that ensures continuous improvement in energy performance and adherence to the international standards.

Can your system track and generate customised reports about consumption and emissions for different stakeholders?

Yes, our system can track and generate customised reports for different stakeholders. You can access and download various reports providing overviews of all buildings' consumption, carbon emissions, and detailed meter data on our platform under the "Reports" section.

The "Organisation Overview" report shows total energy consumption and identifies potential energy waste, while the "Verified Savings" report details registered and verified savings activities.

Additionally, you can generate specific reports for each energy source and individual meters, ensuring tailored insights for all stakeholders.

As an additional, very powerful tool, our “Verifications” tool can automatically calculate energy savings for a single building/project, for a relevant subset of buildings or an entire portfolio taking weather conditions and other variables into account using the internationally recognised IPMVP-protocol. This removes the need for applying e.g. manual degree day corrections.
