What is the difference between energy monitoring and energy management?

Energy monitoring gives you an overview of your electricity usage and alerts you if something is wrong. Our energy monitoring system is called EOS. Energy management means that the system actively manages and optimizes equipment automatically to save power. EC Connector is our solution for automatic energy management of ventilation.

How can I reduce power consumption in my building?

You can reduce power consumption in two ways: Energy Monitoring (EOS) gives you an overview and detects problems early. With energy management (such as the EC Connector), you automate ventilation to adapt to your needs. Most buildings can save 20-55% on their electricity bill.

Do I need both energy monitoring and energy management?

No, you can use them separately. But together they deliver the best results: Energy Monitoring (EOS) shows you where the power is going, while Energy Management (EC Connector) automatically reduces usage. Many of our clients use both.

How much can I save on electricity in commercial buildings?

In commercial buildings, you can typically save between 20-55% on your electricity bill. Energy monitoring helps you detect unnecessary electricity use early, while energy management automates ventilation and other systems for continuous savings.

How long is the payback period for energy optimization?

Most investments in energy optimization have payback periods of less than one year. For automatic energy management of ventilation (EC Connector), the average payback period is 8-12 months.

What is EC Connector?

EC Connector is our solution for automatic energy management of ventilation. The system connects sensors with the ventilation control, so that the amount of air is automatically adjusted to how many people are in the building. This is an example of energy management (EMS).

What does energy management mean in practice?

Energy management means that the system actively manages and optimizes equipment automatically. The EC Connector is energy management for ventilation - it adjusts the amount of air up or down based on needs, completely automatically, without you having to do anything.

How does EC Connector work?

The EC Connector uses sensors to record how many people are in the building. The data is sent to the ventilation system which automatically adjusts the amount of air up or down. You get the full overview via the EC GO app on your mobile.

Do I need to replace the ventilation system to get energy management?

No, EC Connector works with most existing ventilation systems. You do not need to replace anything - we connect the energy management to the system you already have.

How much can I save with automatic energy control of ventilation?

Our customers achieve energy reductions of between 20 and 50 percent on their ventilation costs with EC Connector. A typical down payment takes under a year.

What is the EC GO app?

EC GO is the mobile app where you get an overview of all your buildings. You see electricity usage, temperature and air quality in real time. The app also includes Tjommi - an AI assistant that analyzes your builds and gives you tips.

Does EC Connector energy management work in multiple buildings at the same time?

Yes, you can keep track of all your builds in the same app. EC Connector Enterprise handles an unlimited number of builds on one platform.

How long does the installation of energy management take?

The installation of EC Connector normally takes 1-2 days, depending on the size of the building. No downtime is required, and ventilation runs as normal during installation.

What is the cost of energy management for ventilation?

The price varies based on the size and needs of the building. Contact us for a free energy analysis and you will receive a specific price quote adapted to your building.

Can energy management save money in office buildings?

Yes, especially in office buildings where the number of people varies widely throughout the day. Many office buildings have the greatest savings potential in the evenings, nights and weekends when the building is empty, but ventilation often runs too much.

How do I get notified if the energy management system detects something wrong?

You get push notifications in the EC GO app if your building exceeds limits for air quality, temperature or energy use. Tjommi AI also monitors the system continuously.

What is demand management of ventilation?

Demand management is a form of energy management where ventilation automatically adapts to how many people are in the building. EC Connector is our solution for demand-controlled ventilation.

What is EOS?

EOS is our energy monitoring system. It monitors the power usage in your building around the clock and alerts you if something is using an abnormally high amount of power. You get a digital overview of all energy use on your mobile or PC.

What is energy monitoring?

Energy monitoring means that you get a full view of your electricity usage and are notified right away that something is using more power than normal. That way, you spot problems before they become expensive - like plants going unnecessarily or equipment failures.

How does energy monitoring work with EOS?

EOS collects data on the power usage in the building on an ongoing basis. The system learns the normal consumption pattern and automatically notifies you if something deviates. You get easy overview on mobile or PC.

How much can I save with energy monitoring?

Customers with EOS energy monitoring reduce energy consumption by up to 55%. The average savings are 20-40%, depending on the current operation of the building and what actions are carried out based on the insights.

How does energy monitoring detect abnormal power consumption?

EOS learns the building's normal consumption pattern over time. If electricity consumption suddenly increases out of the norm - for example at night or on weekends - you will receive an automatic notification on mobile or email.

Does energy monitoring work for multiple buildings?

Yes, EOS is scalable and can handle anything from one to hundreds of builds. You get an overview of all the buildings on the same screen, and you can easily compare energy use between different locations.

What is the difference between EOS energy monitoring and EC Connector energy management?

EOS is energy monitoring - it gives you an overview and alerts about your power usage. EC Connector is energy management - it controls ventilation actively and automatically. They work great together - EOS shows you where the energy is going, while the EC Connector reduces usage automatically.

Can I use both energy monitoring and energy management together?

Yes, many of our customers use both EOS (energy monitoring) and EC Connector (energy management) together. EOS gives you a complete overview of all power consumption, while the EC Connector automates and optimizes ventilation. Together, they provide maximum control and savings.

How quickly do I see results with energy monitoring?

Many customers discover savings potential as early as the first week with EOS. The energy monitoring shows you right away where the electricity is being used, and you can start taking simple actions immediately.

Do I have to be technical to use energy monitoring?

No, EOS is made for ordinary people with no technical background. Everything is displayed in a simple and understandable way, and alerts are explained in plain Norwegian.

What are the benefits of energy monitoring in commercial buildings?

Energy monitoring with EOS gives you continuous visibility, early warning of problems, documentation of energy use, a better basis for decisions on energy measures, and the ability to follow up on the effects of actions you take.

How long does it take to get started?

For both EC Connector energy management and EOS energy monitoring, installation normally takes 1-2 days. You can access the overview as soon as the system is set up.

Does the building need to be closed during installation?

No, the installation does not require any downtime. The ventilation and power supply run as normal during the entire setup.
