Your key to greater energy efficiency
Energy controlling is a central component of effective energy management. Companies, industry, local authorities and public institutions are under increasing pressure to reduce energy costs and increase energy efficiency. This is where energy controlling comes in by focussing on the economic efficiency of energy management .
What is energy controlling?
Energy controlling requires the regular recording, review and assessment of energy consumption values in companies and organisations. Professional energy controlling makes it possible to
- Analyse energy consumption transparently
- Identify potential savings
- Implement sustainable measures
Structured energy controlling creates the basis for well-founded decisions in energy management and thus serves to improve your own energy efficiency.
The most important key figures in energy controlling
Effective energy controlling is not based on estimates, but on valid key figures. DIN EN ISO 50001 requires the monitoring and measurement of energy-related performance on the basis of
- Energy Performance Indicators (EnPIsfor short) and
- energy baselines ( EnBs for short).
With the ISO 50006 has been available since the end of 2014 as a supplementary standard with many helpful tips for developing suitable EnPIs and EnBs as a central controlling tool.
Only by continuously monitoring such key figures can statements be made about increasing energy efficiency. In addition, energy performance indicators must be scrutinised at regular intervals to determine whether they are still useful for achieving the targets set.
Effective energy controlling with IngSoft InterWatt software
Important functions at a glance
Energy performance indicators
IngSoft InterWatt provides you with the tools you need to determine EnPIs easily and conveniently. The effect of various influencing factors can also be determined using multidimensional regression methods.
Measures (monitoring)
The software allows you to define goals, action plans and measures and to monitor their achievement.
Analysis
Evaluations of energy consumption, other consumption flows, emissions or costs can not only be created quickly and with little effort in the software - complex analyses with several data series and a high level of detail are also possible.
Dashboards
Thanks to clear, freely configurable dashboards, you always have an overview of your energy consumption.
Reporting
Use our predefined report templates to visualise your target achievement based on energy performance indicators (EnPIs) or define your own report templates - according to your needs.
Intelligent monitoring
Be notified when limit values are exceeded or not reached using the alarm function or go one step further: have your consumption monitored automatically using AI-based pattern recognition.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about energy controlling
Energy controlling software is a digital tool that supports organisations in centrally recording, analysing and controlling energy data. It is a core component of modern energy management and helps energy managers to gain transparency about consumption, costs and efficiency.
Typical functions of energy controlling software are
- Automated data acquisition from meters, systems or building technology
- Visualisation of energy consumption in dashboards and reports
- Calculation of energy performance indicators (EnPIs) and CO₂ emissions
- Monitoring of savings measures and efficiency improvements
- Support for ISO 50001-compliant energy management systems
With professional energy controlling software such as IngSoft InterWatt, companies, local authorities and industrial companies can optimise energy consumption, reduce costs and achieve sustainability goals, while at the same time making it easier to comply with legal requirements.
Typical data are
- Electricity consumption
- Heat consumption
- gas consumption
- Water consumption
- Load profiles
- Key energy figures
- CO₂ emissions
Energy controlling creates transparency about energy consumption and makes it possible to identify potential savings, reduce energy costs and fulfil legal requirements.
Modern energy management software such as IngSoft InterWatt automates the recording, analysis and visualisation of energy data, making the work of energy managers considerably easier.
Many German SMEs use IngSoft InterWatt because the software offers a good combination of monitoring and ISO 50001 compliance.
