Industrial energy
audit data collection
Interval energy and power data for your audit study, collected from installed meters and connected monitoring over the period you define. Every reading timestamped, exportable and traceable.
THE PROBLEM
An audit is only as good as its data
Energy audits are often built on a few days of portable logger data and a lot of assumptions. Loggers are clipped on, retrieved a week later, and sometimes found to have stopped on day two. Seasonal and production variation is missed entirely.
Auditors and energy managers increasingly need more: a baseline long enough to cover normal variation, interval data that matches production records, and a trail that shows where each number came from. Measurement and verification of savings needs the same data before and after a project.
Portable instruments also leave with the auditor. When the project is done, the site is back to knowing only its bill.
HOW WE SET IT UP
A study period you can trust and keep
Define the study first
We agree the measurement points, interval and study period with the auditor or energy manager, so the data answers the audit questions rather than whatever was easy to measure.
Installed meters plus the ones you have
Connected sub-meters go on the loads in scope, and existing Modbus meters are read through our gateway. Data arrives live, so a failed point is spotted on the day it fails.
Audit-grade where it matters
Audit standards set rules on instruments, accuracy and sampling. Where the study calls for audit-grade instruments, we integrate them alongside our meters and keep everything on one timeline.
Export with the trail
Every data set exports to Excel or PDF with an audit trail. After the study, the meters stay in place to verify savings and keep the baseline current.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us
How long should energy be measured for an industrial energy audit?
Long enough to capture normal variation in production and weather. A few weeks is a common minimum for a detailed audit, and baselines for measurement and verification often run longer. The audit standard you follow and the variability of the site set the period.
What data does an industrial energy audit need?
Interval energy and power for the main loads, the site total, production output over the same intervals, and operating schedules. Together they show where energy goes, how it relates to output and where savings are realistic.
Are installed meters better than portable loggers for an audit?
Installed connected meters report live, so a failed measurement is caught immediately, and they stay on site afterwards to verify savings. Portable instruments remain useful for short spot studies and for audit-grade checks.
Can audit data be exported for the auditor's tools?
Yes. Interval data exports to Excel and PDF with an audit trail, and can be reached through an API or by AI tools through MCP.
