Energy Management
Gain visibility into energy and resource usage, costs, and performance across operations. GENESIS enables organizations to monitor, analyze, and optimize energy consumption to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and support sustainability initiatives.
The Challenge: Limited Insight into Energy Usage
Organizations face increasing pressure to control energy costs, manage and account for resource usage, meet regulatory requirements, and achieve sustainability goals. Organizations face internal and external drivers such as ISO 50001 certification, investor expectations tied to the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark, and compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and other climate disclosure regulations. However, energy and resource data is often fragmented across systems, utilities, and facilities—making it difficult to understand consumption patterns or identify opportunities for improvement.
Common Challenges
- Limited visibility into real-time demand and consumption
- Manual data collection and disconnected utility information
- Difficulty allocating energy costs across assets or departments
- Lack of actionable insight into energy inefficiencies
- Growing regulatory and sustainability reporting requirements
Resulting Business Impact
- Higher operating costs from unmanaged energy consumption
- Missed opportunities for energy savings and optimization
- Inaccurate or delayed sustainability reporting
- Reduced ability to benchmark performance across sites
- Increased risk of non-compliance with energy regulations
Effective energy management requires accurate, centralized, and actionable insight across all energy sources and facilities.
The Solution: Energy Management with GENESIS
The GENESIS automation platform provides comprehensive energy management capabilities to transform raw data into actionable intelligence. GENESIS integrates with existing metering, control systems, building management, and enterprise systems to support scalable, secure energy management across assets, systems, sites, and corporate real estate portfolios.
GENESIS supports capture of WAGES (water, air, gas, electricity, steam) data, along with asset performance and emissions. Users can baseline energy demand, identify consumption patterns, optimize usage, and make data-driven decisions that reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and support sustainability objectives.

Real-World Results
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
Campus Energy Management
Aristotle University uses GENESIS to gain continuous visibility into heating system performance across a widely distributed, aging campus portfolio. By capturing and analyzing operational data from boilers, heat exchangers, and building temperatures, facilities teams gained the historical insight needed to optimize energy use, reduce boiler runtime, and make evidence-based operational adjustments across multiple sites.
Result highlights:
- 35.6% reduction in annual energy consumption within the first year of deployment
- Over €280,000 in annual cost savings driven by data-led optimization
- Continuous monitoring of boiler operation, temperatures, and system performance
- Reduced boiler operating hours through empirical, data-driven control strategies
"Within the first year of operating its new GENESIS software-integrated managed heating system, A.U.Th. cut 35.6 percent off its annual energy consumption compared to the previous year, translating to over 280,000 euros saved."

FLSmidth
Sustainability and Compliance
FLSmidth utilizes GENESIS to centrally monitor, analyze, and report on operational and environmental performance of mining and cement assets across a global portfolio. Teams gain consistent visibility into energy use, asset health, and operating conditions—supporting proactive intervention, standardized KPI reporting, and measurable progress toward sustainability and MissionZero emission goals.
Result highlights:
- Reduced operational energy consumption and carbon footprint through continuous remote monitoring
- Standardized KPI and event reporting to support sustainability tracking and compliance requirements
- Improved asset uptime and lifecycle performance through early fault detection and historical insight
- Scalable reporting framework supporting expansion from 230 to 400 plants and approximately 10,000 assets
"The GENESIS Suite is a critical application in our portfolio for monitoring and reporting on the health of our customers’ assets. This capability allows us to respond quickly, reduce downtime, and support our sustainability objectives."

Visualization and Analysis
Analyze energy usage, resource consumption, and related key performance indicators (KPIs) through interactive dashboards, dynamic reports, and ad hoc trends.
Built for Enterprise Energy Programs
GENESIS is deployed for facility and industrial energy management (EMS) due to the platform's hardware-agnostic architecture that supports connectivity with meters, industrial automation, and building automation systems using industry-standard protocols.
GENESIS includes a native BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) compliant driver to enable authorized data access and supervisory control with mission critical assets. Once data is exposed, GENESIS data modeling capabilities organize equipment and facilities to contextualize energy use. Modeling supports industry standards and customer-defined structures and is centralized to support consistent monitoring, reporting, and governance.
GENESIS deployments often extend traditional energy management applications to include:
- Distributed alarm management that connects remote workers and integrates with asset management systems
- Fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) applied to HVAC assets to optimize energy usage and improve asset reliability
- Supervisory control to enable distributed resource management from a centralized operations center
Designed for scale, GENESIS supports role-based access, secure data handling, and flexible deployment models, providing a reliable foundation for long-term energy, sustainability, and compliance initiatives.
