These dashboards play a crucial role in identifying consumption patterns, optimising energy usage during peak times, and reducing the overall carbon footprint. For instance, by analysing and visualising energy data, businesses can shift high-energy activities to off-peak times, thereby taking advantage of lower energy rates. This not only results in cost savings but also contributes to more sustainable operations. SMDH has numerous examples of businesses successfully leveraging these insights to achieve significant energy savings and enhance their sustainability profiles. Find out more here.
