# Energy and Utilities [Website](https://zeniot.fi/en/solutions/energy-and-utilities/) > Bring consumption, solar generation and heating into one view. Plan when to use energy, investigate peaks and connect measurements to supported control. ## Use energy when it makes sense for your operations. Businesses, energy producers, utilities, municipalities and property portfolios need a connected view of energy use and supply. Zeniot brings electricity, available generation and heating measurements together with operating conditions. Understand where energy goes, then build smarter decisions about what to use, when to use it and what needs attention. ## What you can do with Zeniot ### Find consumption that does not match activity **Challenge:** A monthly total can hide equipment drawing power after closing time or a site whose baseline consumption has changed. **Solution:** Compare electricity use by monitored site, area or device with operating hours and available occupancy information. Flag unexpected readings and investigate which connected loads changed before deciding what to adjust. **Benefit:** Give energy and facility teams a measured starting point for finding unnecessary use and reviewing the effect of their changes. ### Generation and consumption in the same view **Challenge:** Solar production and energy consumption often sit in separate systems, making it harder to see how generation matches demand. **Solution:** Bring available production data from compatible generation equipment together with consumption measurements. Review changes over time and investigate output that differs from the site’s defined expectations alongside equipment status and available local conditions. **Benefit:** Help operators identify periods to investigate and understand how their monitored generation relates to energy use. ### Choose what to use and when **Challenge:** Flexible loads can run while little local generation is available, or start together and create an avoidable demand peak. **Solution:** Build an energy-management plan around available generation, current demand, operating schedules and price information where integrated. Define which loads can move in time and which energy sources can be selected through the connected installation. For example, plan a flexible load for a period with available solar output, or stagger nonessential loads as demand approaches a configured limit. **Benefit:** Create a practical path toward coordinating energy supply and use while respecting the site’s operating priorities. ### Heating that follows actual needs **Challenge:** Heating schedules may stay unchanged even when occupancy, room conditions or the way a site is used has changed. **Solution:** Bring electricity, heating or district-heating measurements together with indoor conditions and occupancy where available. Design supported heating adjustments around the required conditions and operating times, then compare the measured results. **Benefit:** Give teams a basis for matching heating to use and checking whether an adjustment delivered the intended conditions. ### Equipment health and remote technical sites **Challenge:** A changing equipment reading or leak in an unstaffed technical room can go unnoticed between inspections. **Solution:** Monitor available equipment temperatures, electrical readings and status signals alongside room temperature, humidity and leak sensors. Use rules to flag deviations and give maintenance teams the history around the event before a visit. **Benefit:** Help maintenance focus on the affected installation and investigate the readings that prompted the check. ### Take action when needed **Challenge:** A demand peak, unexpected overnight consumption and an equipment alarm each call for a different response. **Solution:** Build smart rules and alarm flows around those energy situations. Send remote commands to supported devices, and develop integrated load scheduling or source-selection workflows around the available interfaces and the site’s agreed control priorities. **Benefit:** Move from energy visibility toward coordinated action, from one controllable load to a wider site-management solution. ### Let your energy data speak **Challenge:** Explaining a consumption change can require comparing several meters, operating periods and production records. **Solution:** Connect your familiar MCP-compatible AI assistant to the Zeniot data you authorize. Ask, for example: “Which monitored sites used the most electricity outside their recorded operating hours last week?” Explore the available measurements and follow up on the periods that stand out. **Benefit:** Use natural-language questions to focus an energy review and continue the investigation with the AI you already use. ## Connect energy measurements to operating decisions Group meters and sensors by site, energy source or monitored load. Review consumption, production and relevant conditions together, and use reports to compare periods before and after an operational change. Start with a question the team can act on, such as why a site keeps drawing power overnight. ## Define the priorities before automating Agree which loads can be shifted, which conditions must be maintained and which control actions the connected equipment supports. Where price data or generation information is part of the decision, define those integrations too. Build the first workflow around a clear operating rule, then extend it as the results and requirements become clearer. ## Expand across sites with a shared information base Begin with a chosen site, meter group or controllable load and add further locations as needed. The customer references below show experience with distributed energy and water measurement and building-level consumption visibility. Use your own measurements to evaluate the effect of adjustments; results depend on the installation and the actions taken. ## Customer references - [TT-Estate](https://zeniot.fi/en/#case-tt-estate): Code Partners Nordic delivered private LoRaWAN networks across seven sites in the Helsinki metropolitan area, Turku and Lahti, connecting approximately 240 devices, including energy and water meters, environmental sensors and door monitoring devices. The project enabled wireless data collection and integration into the customer's own cloud service. - [Mikkelin Kamppailuareena](https://zeniot.fi/en/#case-kamppailuareena): Zeniot gives management a clear picture of how the building is used and what it consumes. It counts daily visitors, monitors air quality in the training facilities and humidity in the shower rooms, and tracks total water and electricity consumption, all in one view. ## Start with the energy decision you want to improve Tell us about your energy sources, flexible loads and operating requirements. We can define the meters, data connections and supported controls for a focused starting point. - [Contact Zeniot](https://zeniot.fi/en/#contact)
