AcuCloud Custom
Enterprise customers are invited to customize their AcuCloud experience by selecting a combination of features to suit any unique business requirement.
Features
Data Sharing + Integration
Successful energy management depends on the stable integration of energy data across platforms. AcuCloud makes it easy to forward all metered data to a 3rd party software system for analysis, reporting, billing, efficiency studies, or measurement & verification projects. Multiple data formats are supported.
Data Storage + History
Energy managers have access to energy data in unparalleled detail. AcuCloud stores the history for important energy parameters including per phase and system voltage, current, power, energy, power factor, demand, and pulse data in 5-minute intervals.
Powerful Data Analysis
Enhance the value of metered data with analysis from sophisticated cloud-based software. Simple, yet powerful data analytics tools provide actionable insights for energy management through trend monitoring, project tracking, system control, and more.
Convenient Alerts
When energy usage reaches a threshold or if a meter goes offline, a timely alert can be critical to ongoing facility operations. AcuCloud offers configurable email alerts that are automatically triggered.
Flexible Reporting
Collaborate with colleagues on critical facility decisions: AcuCloud features a powerful sharing tool which allows data to be downloaded & emailed for insightful project coordination. Easily send reports or choose from a range of valuable, pre-configured dashboards to target key energy management metrics.
Tariff Analytics
At a glance, see a 12-month overview of time-of-use consumption and allocation of energy usage during on-peak rate hours. Use the insight to shift consumption patterns to off-peak times to avoid tariffs and reduce monthly energy expenses.
Applications
Utility Billing
Software
A critical component to successful tenant management, comprehensive utility billing ensures proper accounting for all building utilities and services. Avoid flat rate billing schemes that can result in under or over payment and instead accurately bill each tenant for their true consumption. Automatically generate professional-grade utility invoices that accommodate a range of special billing requirements, such as tariff rates, taxes, fees, and more.
Metering Data
Collection
Ideal for building managers and facilities engineers, AcuCloud's professional-grade data collection tools provide continuous monitoring of critical systems and historical data on past consumption trends. Gather essential baseline energy data to gain the upper hand on consumption for individual loads and the entire facility.
Tenant Billing
Software
Designed for multi-tenant buildings with a single main master meter, AcuCloud can generate professional bills for building tenants based on accurate, automated metering data. An all-in-one billing solution for tenant submetering, building managers, and landlords, AcuCloud can provide tenants with verified bills to match their actual consumption using custom rate structure and provide tenants with account access.
Energy Analysis &
Reporting
Go beyond basic data collection and use sophisticated analysis tools to pinpoint energy saving opportunities or verify progress on reduction initiatives. Take a deep dive into energy data to analyze underlying consumption patterns and fine-tune schedules to avoid demand charges. Create detailed energy reports that can be shared with colleagues and other stateholders.
