Optimize your energy consumption and reduce costs with our innovative IoT energy management system!
Our system is specifically designed for Minergie certification and allows you to implement environmentally friendly practices in your building. The collection and analysis of the data takes place in the Tesenso Cloud. The analysis of the data and the useful information obtained from it are transferred to the customers' devices with the help of visualizations. Thanks to our innovative IoT retrofit solution with Tesenso products, getting started with energy management is effortless. Don't replace your meters - just turn them on, for smooth efficiency without costly replacement.
