Leading the Way in Cost-Effective Energy Management

Our advanced myEnergiRaven Energy Management System (EMS) offers a cutting-edge solution for managing complex building portfolios, covering all types of commercial, industrial, multi-residential and heat network properties from one platform.

Our mission is clear: reduce energy waste, enhance efficiency, and drive down costs for building owners, operators, and consumers. With in-depth analytics and automatic Monitoring & Targeting (aM&T), EnergiRaven helps properties become “heat network ready,” optimizing performance to deliver significant energy and cost savings.

myEnergiRaven

Established in 1998, myEnergiRaven was the first energy monitoring software platform developed in Denmark. Globally, there are over 8,000 buildings monitored by myEnergiRaven.

myEnergiRaven collects, converts, and breaks down traditional energy consumption data into user-friendly financial metrics for the whole building portfolio, down to the individual building level, comparing it against a budgeted benchmark.

To achieve the best breakdown of energy consumption, sub-metering with automatically read meters (AMR) is required. This will enable users to determine exactly when and how energy is being wasted.

Data acquired can be used for easy ESG reporting.

Campaigns

EnergiRaven is at the forefront of the UK’s green energy transition, championing initiatives like Heat Transmission Highways and the Green Energi Haven campaign to pave the path to Net Zero.

Heat Highways

Heat Highways can provide green, affordable, and sustainable heating solutions by capturing zero-carbon waste heat from commercial and industrial sources and transporting it directly to population centres.

Green Energi Havens

Green Energi Havens can unlock the full potential of British energy, creating a future where nothing goes to waste, whilst providing local economic benefits and reducing the need for imported energy.

Waste Not, Want Not!

Across our regions, abundant sources of untapped heat, such as waste incineration, industrial processes, surface water, and geothermal reserves, are waiting to be harnessed.

The cheapest energy is the energy we do not use

Reducing energy consumption is a vital part of achieving our Net Zero targets. Naturally, the more generation capacity required the more expensive the transition to renewable technologies will be. Hence, Net Zero starts with eliminating energy waste from our buildings by realising energy savings and increasing energy efficiency. Making best use of low carbon heat plant such as heat networks, heat pumps, and thermal storage requires energy efficient buildings.
