Enconyx

Smart building technology for energy and utilities

Smart buildings are the focus of Enconyx, which uses Internet of Things sensors and advanced analytics, with artificial intelligence and automation, to run buildings and the utilities behind them. Its goals center on buildings that are greener and more energy efficient, and on interiors that adapt to the people using them. The company works across solar energy, battery storage, EV charging, hot water and resource sharing, and presents its approach as one that reduces environmental impact while lowering operating costs.

Solar, storage and virtual power plants

For solar energy, the company offers panels with storage, optimized solar sharing among building users, and smart inverter management. Its battery storage work is aimed at energy independence, storing surplus solar generation for use when the sun is not shining and reducing reliance on the grid. Through its Enconyx Intelligence Platform, building owners get granular insight into energy use and into how shared solar output is divided. The product list also includes distributed energy resource integration with local energy markets, distribution flexibility, DER ancillary services, virtual power plant arrangements and storage co-optimization, which together allow a building's equipment to respond to the grid as one resource.

EV charging, metering and shared resources

For electric vehicles the firm provides EV and EVSE management, along with EV-ready parking spaces designed to support future charging. Its smart metering reads water, electricity and gas use, and a billing app ties that metering to the people who use it. The company also lists water and resource sharing across utilities as a way to maximize efficiency.

Building management, monitoring and dashboards

Building management includes ambience control and HVAC management through a building management system, air quality and environmental monitoring, failure alarming and maintenance systems, and a smart facility management system. For occupants and owners there is an integrated home automation option and an interactive user dashboard with automated reporting.

The company says data can be sourced from hardware that is already installed, so a building network can be optimized without replacing everything first. It describes a suite of flexible hardware and intuitive software that can be configured to suit different building networks.

Who it is built for

Enconyx sells to whoever runs a building or a group of them, and says the technology can be deployed in whatever configuration their requirements call for, from a single site to a larger estate.
