NOTE: As of October 2019, the Energy Grader is called DEXMA Detect.

It’s one of the first things you reach for when your clients ask for energy savings advice: your trusty submetering, datalogger and energy monitoring hardware catalogue.

But when those same customers see the final installation price tag, especially for large building portfolios, their eyes start to water and they begin to have second thoughts…

Sounds familiar? Sick of risking so many energy efficiency projects on astronomical hardware costs?

Good news, energy managers: now you can skip the risk and the guesswork entirely. If you a curious about it, contact our specialists and they’ll show you how to generate zero-touch energy savings in the cloud.
