Maximum functionality with amazing flexibility!
The modular energy management system can be used for all requirements in residential and commercial buildings: in apartment buildings, large developments, and industry. For optimizing self-consumption and controlling energy flow in ZEV, vZEV, and LEG properties. It regulates inverters, controls batteries and heat pumps using AI, operates heating inserts as efficiently as possible, and controls e-mobility charging infrastructures with over 100 chargers. System services/balancing energy are also integrated with various providers.
And: Independent ZEV, e-mobility, and utility billing is possible!

Data protection and IT security
| Privacy Policy Overview | The cloud solution is built in accordance with ISO 27001 and is GDPR compliant, but it is not certified. The collection, processing, and storage of personal data is carried out strictly in accordance with the privacy-by-design and privacy-by-default principles. Encrypted communication using TLS (HTTPS/WSS) is used for data transfer. All data transfers – clients, charging stations, and via the API – are exclusively encrypted. In addition, access is secured by an API key to prevent unauthorized access. Charging stations that are integrated locally (direct communication with WAGO) communicate via HTTP in their network. The relevant data is collected, processed, and temporarily stored locally on the control unit. From this temporary storage, the data is sent to the cloud in encrypted form. In the event of an Internet or cloud failure, the data remains on the device until communication is restored. Depending on the number of meters, the data can be temporarily stored for between 3 and 30 days. Data is stored exclusively on servers in Switzerland. The data is backed up daily and stored on a separate server to ensure reliability and data integrity. From this cloud storage, billing-relevant data can be sent to various billing service providers (e.g., zevvy, Imovatec, etc.). |

Dynamic load management
| Single-party building | |
|---|---|
| Comment | The system is primarily designed for multi-family homes and is therefore more expensive. The system is also very well suited for single-family homes with increased requirements (villas), as it can also be used for emergency power operation, including load shedding. |
| One-time hardware costs | CHF 2,310 ENERGYControl “Compact” version without internet connection via mobile phone antenna Balance measurement possible via WhatWatt Go (no meter installation necessary) |
| One-time software costs | CHF 3,970 Complete project, software, commissioning, documentation |
| Total of one-time costs | CHF 7,080 |
| Installation cost | CHF 800 Controller installation in Tableau including 24 VDC power supply, connection to network. No cabling to heat pump, heating insert, or other devices. |
| Project management costs | CHF 960 Including training on the system (hourly rate CHF 140) |
| Annual costs | CHF 36 App fees between CHF 24 and CHF 36, depending on the range of functions |
| Multi-unit building | |
|---|---|
| Comment | Ideal for ENERGYControl: Dynamic load management with solar-optimized charging possible (all charging stations can have the same priority). Control energy (system service SDL) can be integrated. Own consumption optimization of heat pumps with AI based on weather forecasts (blocking the heat pump when solar power production is low). Emergency operation of the hot water tank (boiler) using a heating element in the event of a heat pump malfunction (residents do not have to take cold showers even if the heat pump has failed). Alarm system and lighting control for common areas can be integrated. |
| One-time hardware costs | CHF 3,420 ENERGYControl “Standard” version including internet connection via mobile antenna. Balance measurement possible via WhatWatt Go (no meter installation necessary) |
| One-time software costs | CHF 9,820 Complete project, software, commissioning, documentation |
| Total of one-time costs | CHF 14,640 |
| Installation cost | CHF 1,400 - Installation of controller in Tableau, including 24 VDC power supply - Connection to network (no cabling to heat pump, heating insert, or other devices) |
| Project management costs | CHF 2,300 Including training on the system (hourly rate CHF 140.00) |
| Annual costs | CHF 432 System CHF 204 Internet connection via 4G CHF 192 App fees between CHF 24 and CHF 36, depending on the range of functions The system can also be rented instead of purchased. |
| Deviation/discounts for portfolio with 100 buildings (per building) | Hardware + software approx. CHF 860,000 (excluding installation) Project management approx. CHF 160,000 Discount on hardware and services up to 30% Discount on ENERGYControl licenses up to 50% In a cloud application, all buildings can be viewed in an overview (map or tables) and detailed queries and central alarm management are possible. |
