# Energy Consumption

## Note

This dashboard is a new feature within the portal and is already available for productive use. However, the respective use case (e.g., energy consumption or noise monitoring) requires specific, dedicated devices. The functionality does not derive data from existing sensors such as air quality or other already integrated devices.

## Overview

The Energy Consumption Dashboard is a site-wide monitoring tool that provides an aggregated view of total energy consumption across all configured energy meters within a workspace or site.

It enables users to monitor overall energy usage and track consumption patterns across multiple assets and locations.

### KPIs

The dashboard provides a range of energy-related metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs). The most relevant KPIs are outlined below.

#### Daily Usage Metrics

The daily metrics display:

* Total energy consumption for the current day
* The highest consuming device
* The lowest consuming device
* The total number of active energy meters

These metrics provide an immediate operational overview of current site performance.

#### Energy Stats

The Energy Statistics section visualizes the proportional energy share per device.

For each installed meter, the dashboard displays its contribution to overall site consumption. This makes it easy to identify major consumers and evaluate distribution patterns across assets.

## Concept

The Energy Consumption Dashboard follows the same structural concept as other dashboards within the KEMPER Connect application.

Upon opening the dashboard, aggregated energy consumption data from all configured energy meters in the workspace or site is displayed. Detailed KPI statistics and device-level breakdowns are then provided to support analysis and monitoring.

### What to use it for?

The dashboard is designed for monitoring the energy consumption of industrial assets.

By integrating compatible energy meters into the KEMPER Connect platform, users can generate a consolidated overview of energy usage across all relevant equipment within their workspace.

## Devices

In addition to KPIs and consumption statistics, the **Devices** tab provides a structured overview of all detected and configured energy meters within the site.

This section displays a table containing device-level information for monitoring and management purposes.

## Historical Charts

The **Historical** tab provides time-based analysis of energy consumption trends.

Users can:

* View consumption data by day, week, or month
* Compare current periods with previous periods (e.g., day-over-day, week-over-week, month-over-month)
* Analyze percentage changes between selected time ranges
* Review average consumption values for selected periods

All historical data can be exported as Excel or CSV files for reporting, compliance documentation, or further analysis.

Both absolute values and percentage-based comparisons are available to evaluate performance changes and measure the impact of energy optimization efforts.
