As sustainability and energy efficiency become increasingly important, it's crucial that companies optimize their energy consumption. Entune has specialized as a player in the energy-efficient commercial buildings market.
This has made it a company that focuses on optimizing energy use in commercial buildings. By using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twinsEntune supports organizations in making their energy management more sustainable, focusing not only on reducing energy costs but also on improving the comfort and functionality of buildings.
One aspect of Entune's work is the integration of energy management systems (EMSs). Such systems provide insight into how energy is generated, stored, and consumed. This enables organizations to allocate energy more efficiently and reduce costs. This is especially important at a time when energy costs are rising and grid congestion is becoming increasingly common. An EMS helps organizations:
- Analyze energy consumption and peak load.
- To control energy technologies such as solar panels and charging stations.
- Finding a balance between energy generation, storage and demand.
- To reduce inefficiencies and unnecessary costs.
Building energy demands are changing rapidly due to electrification and the growth of local energy sources. Traditional energy management methods are often reactive. An EMS allows for active energy management, resulting in better control over energy consumption. This is where Entune BuildingAI comes around the corner
Entune BuildingAI isn't an EMS, but it works with existing systems. It focuses specifically on the interaction between energy use and building behavior. While an EMS focuses on energy management and a building management system on comfort and climate, Entune connects these two worlds.
Using AI and predictive models, Entune optimizes building processes based on energy insights. This ensures that energy consumption is aligned with the building's behavior. This means:
- Energy and building behaviour are jointly optimised.
- HVAC systems work better together with energy management.
- Heat demand and occupancy are predicted.
- Waste is prevented through better timing.
With such an integrated approach, a building's energy efficiency is elevate to a higher level. This offers several advantages:
- Lower energy costs through smart energy control.
- Less waste through optimal timing of energy consumption.
- Better comfort for building users.
- More flexibility in the use of own energy generation and storage.
