AI energy management software for UK multi-site complex businesses

Emma AI is Optimal Monitoring’s AI energy management software for UK multi-site organisations, large buildings and campuses.

It uses existing meter data to automate energy monitoring and detect energy waste, helping energy, estates and sustainability teams manage consumption across their buildings.

 Emma AI sends practical recommendations directly to the people responsible, helping them take action to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.

Start with zero capital expenditure

1) Connect your energy data

To begin, we’ll connect your existing energy metering data to the EMMA AI platform. This then analyses your usage across all your sites from day one, generating immediate, actionable savings across your business.

2) Add sub-metering services

Once you are up and running, we can then look to increase the energy savings you make through the addition of sub-metering.

3) Connect all your energy management platforms

For our larger clients, we can additionally integrate data from 3rd -party energy management systems, Building Management Systems (BMS), EV charging data, solar and much more.

EMMA AI is our intelligent monitoring system designed for businesses with multiple locations. In just a couple of hours, EMMA AI connects to your existing energy data and commences the tracking of energy usage across all your sites every 30 minutes. Analysis of this half-hour data allows the platform to learn about your business and identify where gas and electricity are being wasted.

Together with allowing you to see potential savings at a business-wide level, importantly, your site managers receive a simple email telling them where energy was wasted over the last 24 hours and how to prevent it from happening again. This simple step leads to immediate actionable savings, as your staff become an army of energy managers, changing habits and saving you money and CO2 emissions every single day!

EMMA AI is saving our customers millions every single year … all with zero up-front capital expenditure!

Introducing EMMA AI, the automated energy management platform

Sub-metering services

For energy managers overseeing large estates, understanding energy consumption at a granular level is critical. This is where submetering becomes invaluable. Installing additional meters beyond the main utility meter allows you to track energy consumption by specific areas, departments, or even individual pieces of equipment.

This provides detailed visibility into exactly where and how energy is being used, empowering EMMA AI with more data to deliver even greater savings.

Large organisations often utilise a diverse array of platforms to manage their energy, from traditional Building Management Systems (BMS) handling utilities, heating, and lighting, to cutting-edge solar and EV charging management systems.

By seamlessly integrating these platforms with EMMA AI, you unlock the potential for even greater energy savings, enabling you to analyse complex issues, drastically reduce energy waste, and streamline maintenance operations—all managed from a single, unified platform.
