🎯

Built for

Best for energy professionals managing large, multi-site building portfolios who need to automate waste detection and verify savings at scale.

In-Depth Overview

Ento replaces slow, manual energy management with an automated, scalable platform. Where traditional approaches require months of custom data pipeline setup, Ento connects to your existing utility meters and delivers insights in days, with no new hardware. Instead of energy managers spending hours in spreadsheets trying to find problems, Ento's AI automatically surfaces the 10% of sites driving 80% of waste, ranking opportunities by savings potential. This allows teams to focus on high-impact actions. Crucially, Ento automates savings verification. It replaces manual calculations and expensive audits with real-time, weather-normalized, IPMVP-style Measurement and Verification (M&V) that stakeholders trust. For strategic planning, it moves beyond static consulting reports to a continuously updated, data-driven investment roadmap. Proof of its effectiveness is seen in its application across over 55,000 sites and case studies with major clients like Salling Group, who used the platform to achieve savings of several million Euro.

· Cons

Pricing is not public; requires a quote based on portfolio size.

Primarily an analysis and intelligence tool; does not directly control building systems.

⚡ Editorial Verdict

Ento excels at providing a high-level, portfolio-wide intelligence layer for energy optimization without requiring hardware installation. Its core strength is prioritizing the biggest issues across hundreds of sites, fast. The main trade-off is its reliance on main meter data, which may lack the granular, sub-system diagnostics of a sensor-heavy BMS solution without further on-site investigation.

Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions

What's the best AI tool for managing energy consumption across a large property portfolio? +

Ento is designed specifically for this purpose. It is built for organizations managing anywhere from 50 to over 1,000 buildings, automatically benchmarking sites and surfacing top priorities across the entire portfolio from a single dashboard.

How can I automate energy savings verification for my buildings? +

Ento uses the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). It builds a counterfactual model of consumption and compares actual post-project usage against this baseline, providing verified savings reports in kWh, CO₂, and cost.

Is there an energy management system that doesn't require hardware installation? +

Yes, Ento requires no new hardware or sensors to get started. It connects directly to your existing utility meter data through APIs and data hubs, allowing for full portfolio visibility from day one.

We already have an EMS — why would we add Ento? +

Ento acts as an intelligence layer that makes your current EMS investment work harder. While traditional EMS platforms collect data, Ento turns that data into prioritized, actionable insights, tells you where to focus, and automatically verifies the savings.

How to find the biggest energy waste opportunities in a portfolio of 100+ buildings? +

Ento's platform automates this process. Its algorithms analyze consumption data across all sites, normalize for variables like weather, and pinpoint the top 10% of sites that typically drive 80% of energy waste, allowing you to focus your efforts efficiently.

What is the ROI on AI energy management software like Ento? +

Most Ento customers see a payback within three to six months. The platform is designed to identify high-impact savings so quickly that a single fix often covers the annual subscription cost.
