Reduce energy waste in retail stores

Detail shop

Reduce operating costs across your building portfolio

Understand how your retail stores perform during and outside opening hours and how optimising the energy consumption can be accomplished without affecting occupancy comfort.

Office buildings and retail stores have a complex variety of technical installations. In other words, there’s a lot that can go wrong, which is why a lot of energy consumption ends up being wasted. Savings of 10-50% can be achieved by simply setting up building automation and technical systems correctly – but first you need to know which buildings can be optimised.

Documentation of energy savings is good for the environment and the bottom line. Documented energy savings also look great in the CSR report!

TECHNOLOGY

Create results and share them with the world

Easy integration of data

We integrate your energy consumption data directly from your utility, BMS or EMS. Please contact us for further information about how to connect data in the countries your stores are located.

Use external professionals or do-it-yourself

Many larger companies employ energy professionals who can implement energy improvements themselves. But often, external technicians and consultants are also used. External technicians can be invited to the platform to optimise entire building portfolios or just a few buildings.

Document the effort and share the results

It is good business to know exactly what you are paying for. Therefore, we support advanced documentation of energy savings, measured on the actual energy consumption, verified by our algorithms. We use technical terms and convert savings into financial value and carbon emissions. The results can be used across the organisation via detailed reporting or exported to your preferred Business Intelligence system.

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.
