Site assessment
We review utility bills, single-line drawings, and existing meters, then walk the site to find the loads that drive cost.
Managed Service
Energy Monitoring Services, Delivered by Engineers
You need a provider, not another login. Emergent Energy designs the metering, installs and commissions the sensors, configures the dashboards, and has an engineer review your data and tell you what to do next. One team, from the first bill review to verified savings.
What is included
Every engagement covers the full chain from measurement to action. You do not need to hire an electrician, choose hardware, or learn a new platform before seeing results.
Metering design
A metering plan sized to the decisions you need to make — which circuits, which utilities, and how many points, with nothing added for its own sake.
Sourcing and installation
We source sensors and gateways, install them, and coordinate with your facilities team and electrical contractor where required.
Commissioning
Every point is checked against a reference reading before it goes live, so the data you rely on is correct from day one.
Platform setup and alerts
Dashboards, baselines, and alert thresholds configured for your sites, with notifications routed to the people who can act on them.
Ongoing engineering review
An engineer reviews your data on a set schedule, investigates anomalies, and turns findings into specific recommendations.
How the engagement works
Free bill and metering review
Send recent utility bills and a list of sites. We identify where monitoring will pay off and where it won't.
Written proposal
Scope, metering points, timeline, and pricing in writing. Nothing is installed until you approve it.
Install and commission
Sensors installed with minimal disruption, verified, and connected to your dashboards.
Monitor and review
Recurring reports and review calls, with recommendations tracked through to completion.
The reporting you receive
Reports are written for the people who make decisions — facility managers, finance, and sustainability leads — not just for engineers. Each cycle includes:
- Monthly consumption and cost by site, utility, and major load
- Demand peaks with the equipment that caused them
- After-hours and weekend load versus baseline
- Anomalies investigated, with cause and recommended action
- Status of open recommendations and verified savings to date
- Data ready for ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, building performance standard filings, and utility rebate applications
Dashboards run on OptimizeOS, which we deploy as a channel partner, so you can also log in and see live data between reports. If you only want the platform and plan to run it yourself, read our guide to choosing a software platform.
What it costs to get started
Getting started costs nothing. The first step is a free review of your recent utility bills and existing metering, which tells us whether monitoring is likely to pay off and where to focus.
The cost of an engagement then depends on three things: the number of sites, the number of metering points, and which utilities are monitored. Installation is typically a one-time cost; review and reporting are recurring. Utility rebates can offset part of the hardware cost in many service territories, and we check eligibility as part of the proposal. You receive a written, fixed scope before anything is installed.

Who it suits
Manufacturing and industrial plants
Compressed air, process loads, and production-normalized energy intensity.
Multi-site portfolios
Consistent metrics across every site, so the worst performers are obvious.
Commercial real estate
Tenant-level visibility and data for benchmarking ordinances.
Lean facilities teams
Organizations that want the results of monitoring without hiring an energy analyst.
Energy monitoring services FAQs
What do energy monitoring services include?
A complete engagement covers a site assessment, metering design, sensor sourcing and installation, commissioning, platform configuration, alert setup, and recurring engineering review with written reports. You get the outcome without building an in-house metering team.
How is a service different from buying monitoring software?
Software gives you dashboards; a service gives you people who read them. With a service, an engineer reviews your data, explains what changed, and recommends specific actions. You are not left to interpret charts on your own.
What does it cost to get started?
The first step — a review of recent utility bills and existing metering — is free. Pricing for the engagement depends on the number of sites, metering points, and utilities monitored, and is set out in a written proposal before any work begins.
Do you need to shut down equipment to install sensors?
In most cases, no. We favor wireless, clamp-on sensors that install on existing conductors without rewiring panels or interrupting production. Where a shutdown is unavoidable, it is identified and scheduled during the assessment.
Which utilities can you monitor?
Electricity, natural gas, water, BTU (chilled and hot water), steam, and compressed air. Most clients start with electricity and add other utilities once the first results are in.
Where do you provide service?
We work with commercial and industrial facilities across the United States, with a concentration in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Multi-site portfolios are handled under one engagement.
