The Problem

Buildings Consume Energy in the Dark

Commercial facility managers make energy decisions based on monthly utility bills — not real operational data. The result is waste that's real but invisible.

No Circuit-Level Visibility

Utility bills show total consumption. They reveal nothing about which systems, schedules, or circuits are responsible for waste.

BAS Schedules Run on Assumptions

Building automation systems are programmed once and forgotten. Equipment runs outside occupancy windows because nobody can prove it's happening.

Retrofit Decisions Lack Justification

Energy retrofit proposals are rejected because savings projections are unverified estimates — not real operational data.

Energy Accountability Gap

Unmonitored (assumption) SCOUT-measured

Most buildings operate entirely in the dark

The Solution

Measurement. Analysis. Clarity.

SCOUT integrates purpose-built edge hardware with a cloud analytics engine to deliver the first complete picture of your building's energy behavior.

Hardware

Edge Measurement Node

EMN deploys directly alongside existing infrastructure. Wireless mesh connectivity means zero conduit, zero disruption to building operations.

  • Up to 8 CT current sensors per node
  • Temperature, humidity, light, motion sensing
  • ZigBee mesh — self-healing wireless network
  • Battery-powered + USB-C, no electrician required
  • Captive WiFi setup — commissioned in minutes
Software

Consumption & Utility Engine

CUE processes real operational data from EMN nodes to model how your building actually consumes energy — not how it was designed to.

  • BAS schedule validation against real occupancy
  • Circuit-level load profiling and trend detection
  • Quantified savings potential with financial modeling
  • PostgreSQL backend — open, auditable data model
  • Actionable optimization recommendations
EMN Hardware

Captures high-resolution electrical and environmental data at the circuit level — continuously, wirelessly, without disruption.

Real-time mesh
CUE Analytics

Transforms raw measurements into clear, financially justified recommendations your facility team can act on immediately.

Process

From Data to Decision in Three Steps

SCOUT is designed for deployment in existing buildings — no construction, no downtime, no guesswork.

1

Deploy in Hours

EMN nodes clip onto existing circuit breakers and connect over ZigBee mesh. No conduit. No dedicated circuits. No electrician required. Commissioned through a captive WiFi portal in under two hours.

2

Measure Everything

Each node continuously monitors current draw across up to 8 circuits alongside temperature, humidity, light, and occupancy. CUE ingests the full dataset and builds load profiles for every system in the building.

3

Act on Evidence

CUE cross-references actual load data against your BAS schedules to identify systems running outside occupancy windows. Every recommendation comes with a quantified savings estimate — not an assumption.

Outcomes

What SCOUT Makes Possible

Measurement creates accountability. Accountability drives action. Action delivers savings.

Quantified Energy Waste Detection

Know exactly which circuits, systems, and schedules are responsible for inefficiency — with kWh and dollar figures attached.

BAS Schedule Validation

Verify that your building automation system actually follows occupancy patterns. Identify equipment running after-hours — automatically.

Financially Justified Retrofits

Replace estimated savings with measured savings potential. Give your capital planning team a data-backed case for every retrofit investment.

No Disruption to Operations

Non-invasive CT clamp sensors and wireless mesh mean SCOUT deploys around your tenants and operations — not over them.
