What equipment does Enertiv monitor?

Enertiv monitors base building equipment including HVAC systems, chillers, boilers, air handling units, cooling towers, pumps, fans, and lighting. Monitoring is available at the equipment level through BMS integration or direct hardware installation, as well as at the meter and submeter level for consumption tracking.

Does Enertiv require replacing an existing BMS?

No. Enertiv integrates with existing building management systems using industry-standard protocols including BACnet, Modbus, and M-Bus. Where a BMS is not present or cannot provide the required data, Enertiv installs monitoring hardware directly. The approach is determined by what is already in place at each property.

What is the typical payback period for Enertiv's equipment monitoring?

Most clients achieve payback within two years. Actual payback depends on portfolio size, utility rates, and the specific optimization opportunities identified. Enertiv's measurement and verification framework tracks savings against projected targets on a daily basis and documents ROI in a format suitable for asset management reporting.

How does Enertiv surface savings opportunities?

Enertiv's analytics engines continuously compare consumption against statistically derived baselines, using machine learning trained on each building's operational signature. Savings opportunities are surfaced as insights, each with a description of the issue, the key drivers, the quantified savings estimate, and a recommended action. Insights are vetted by Enertiv's engineering team before delivery.

Does Enertiv support fault detection and diagnostics?

Yes. Enertiv detects degraded equipment performance, excessive base load, schedule violations where equipment runs during unoccupied hours, and gradual efficiency declines consistent with equipment wear. Runtime statistics are tracked per piece of equipment and used to inform preventive maintenance scheduling and capital planning.

Can Enertiv help with demand response programs?

Yes. Enertiv identifies properties eligible for demand response programs based on peak demand thresholds and deregulated market locations. Eligible portfolios are connected to demand response aggregators through Enertiv's partner network. The platform also provides load curtailment recommendations and peak demand forecasting to support program participation.

What protocols does Enertiv support for BMS integration?

Enertiv supports BACnet, Modbus, M-Bus, LonWorks, pulse outputs, and other open communication frameworks. For utility meter data, the platform integrates with AMR and AMI systems including Green Button Connect My Data, Itron OpenWay, and Landis+Gyr Gridstream, as well as direct utility portal integrations across major North American territories.
