Product update: AI-powered insights, smarter analysis & new Indoor Climate Advisor
With Ento’s latest platform updates, we’re introducing intelligent tools that make energy optimisation more actionable. Whether you're focused on reducing consumption, identifying faulty equipment, or leveraging indoor climate data, this release brings features to help you take control – smarter, faster, and with greater impact.
Enhanced building data = better recommendations
We’ve made it easier to upload and update energy performance ratings and building descriptions to Ento. Whether it’s a text file or structured dataset, Ento’s AI will use that information to refine its AI Suggestions for your site.
That means recommendations will now take into account whether your building uses a heat pump, the year it was built, insulation type, and more – resulting in tailored, smarter AI Suggestions.
Let AI do the heavy lifting with updated Ento AI Suggestions
This feature is designed to help you identify actionable energy-saving opportunities based on what has worked elsewhere. By analysing your energy consumption alongside thousands of real savings across similar issues, plus taking specific data and information about your building into account, Ento now suggests potential fixes automatically.
“With our latest releases, we’re using more of the data the building owners already have - energy data and energy performance ratings. With this new feature our AI is no longer just identifying anomalies, but proposing context-specific solutions based on real data. By combining machine learning with site-specific building data, we’re giving our users a smarter, more scalable way to uncover savings and optimise performance across large portfolios.”
Take district heating, for example. Poor return temperature performance often comes down to specific issues like faulty motor valves or scaled heat exchangers. Ento can now highlight these potential root causes proactively, helping you get ahead of inefficiencies. Recognising the patterns and changes in the consumption data, the most likely cause is suggested first. You can even forward the results to your trusted technician or responsible building manager.
Improved filters: find what matters, faster
Managing energy data across dozens (or hundreds) of buildings can quickly get overwhelming. That’s why we’ve overhauled the filtering experience in Ento – to help you cut through the noise and focus on what matters most, be it activities, meters, savings, sites, or else.
You’ll now see new, flexible filters across key parts of the platform — including Advisor, Benchmark, Savings, and Verifications. With these, you can for example:
- Quickly search across large data sets
- Choose which columns to view
- Add multiple filter parameters
- Save custom views you want to reuse
- And even take bulk actions on filtered results
Whether you’re reviewing alerts, comparing performance, or updating meter settings, the improved filters help you find what matters faster – no matter if you're managing a few sites or an entire portfolio.

Get more from your indoor climate data
In collaboration with selected customers, we’ve developed an Indoor Climate Advisor focused on helping you turn sensor data into actionable insight.
The advisor currently focuses on two aspects:
- Optimising comfort by making sure CO2 levels and whether temperature setpoints are being met.
- Optimising energy consumption by suggesting night and weekend setbacks in buildings where it’s not currently implemented.
We already integrate with sensors from Danfoss LeanHeat, DanTaet, IoT-Fabrikken, OS2IoT, and our own LoRa network.
Weather-adjusted comparisons with degree day normalisation
We’ve added degree day normalisation to improve how energy consumption is analysed over time as heating needs vary significantly depending on the weather.
With this update, Ento now supports degree day normalisation for both district heating and gas. You’ll see a new toggle on relevant dashboards, and an option in the report generator to compare consumption data across years, adjusted for outdoor temperature.
The normalisation is based on data from the nearest weather station and compares your buildings’ heating use against the average weather conditions over the past nine years. To keep results meaningful, we exclude energy use that isn't relevant for the degree days.
Energy label reports: track, improve, and act on your energy label data
Our new Energy Label Report gives you a clear overview of the energy label status across your portfolio – and highlights where there’s room for improvement.
You’ll see:
- How your buildings are distributed across energy labels
- Which labels are expired or missing
- The total area per label
- And a list of suggested improvements to help you move up a class
You’ll also get an overview of each building’s current and potential label, plus how long each certificate remains valid.
Virtual meters: a new way to use your data
Virtual meters let you create new, calculated meters based on the data you already have. Instead of measuring energy through a physical device, virtual meters combine readings from existing meters using custom rules — like adding, subtracting, or switching between sources.
This gives you more flexibility to analyse your data the way you need. Whether you're tracking a specific part of a building, separating out ventilation, or calculating internal losses, virtual meters help you unlock new insights without installing new hardware.
For a more detailed overview of how to use virtual meters, head to Ento Learn.
Upgraded heating analysis for deeper insights
We’ve upgraded the heating analysis across both district heating and gas to improve the precision of alarms and provide deeper insights. Consumption, baseload, and activity are now brought together in one comprehensive consumption advisor.
While alarms will be triggered based on the overall consumption analysis, you can still dive into separate views for baseload and activity – now with improved resolution. Of course, everything remains normalised based on weather and calendar conditions for accurate comparisons.
You can log in via https://app.ento.ai and try out the new functionalities yourself.
