Energy Management System for Chains and Multi-Site Organisations

Retail chain, hotel chain, hospital group, shopping centre portfolio or property management company — bring the electricity, water and gas consumption of every site into one head-office dashboard. Compare sites per square metre and spot the one that drifts before the month ends.

Why Does Energy Stay Invisible Across Many Sites?

In a chain, energy cost is not one invoice but is spread across each site's own subscription, distribution region and billing date. The head-office team often sees invoices only after they pass through accounting; by then the month has closed and the problem has rolled into the next one. The more sites there are, the bigger this delay becomes.

The second challenge is comparison. A resort hotel and a city hotel, a high-street store and a store inside a mall, a hospital and a clinic are not on the same scale; putting total kWh side by side makes the larger site look unfairly bad. A meaningful comparison needs an indicator normalised by area and the same period.

Third, most sites have nobody responsible for metering. Nobody notices that the air conditioning stayed on overnight, that the window lighting timer has drifted or that water keeps running in one block. An energy monitoring system closes this gap from the centre.

Your Site Network with 6S Teknoloji

  • All sites in one session: head office sees the portfolio, a site manager sees only their own facility
  • Site comparison: ranking by consumption, intensity per m² and unit price
  • Hourly consumption profile: base load running during closed hours and at night is clearly visible
  • Electricity, water and gas for the same period on the same screen
  • Consumption deviation alarm: email when a site drifts from its usual level
  • Monthly budget and month-end projection for each site
  • Existing analysers and meters are used; no panel change required

What Does Each Indicator Tell You Across a Site Network?

Total cost matters to management, the normalised indicator to the operations team. 6S Teknoloji shows both side by side, so cost and efficiency are read from the same table.

How Is a Site Installed?

At each site the existing energy analyser or meter is read through a field unit connected to the facility's local network. The field unit opens an encrypted outbound connection to the centre; no ports need to be opened on the site network. If the internet drops, readings are held in the local queue for at least 30 days and transferred retrospectively when the link returns; no record is deleted until the centre has acknowledged it.

Sites are defined as separate facilities on the platform and grouped together. When a new site opens it is added with the same device templates; the head-office dashboard and comparison tables include it automatically.

What Is Multi-Site Energy Management?

Multi-site energy management is the work of monitoring the energy consumption of several sites from one centre, comparing them normalised by floor area, and acting on a drifting site before the month ends. 6S Teknoloji measures each site as a separate facility and brings them all into one portfolio dashboard.

Who Is It For?

  • Retail, store and restaurant chains
  • Hotel chains and hospital groups
  • Shopping centre portfolios and property / estate management companies
  • Bank, insurance and courier branch networks; companies with several sites

Multi-Site Energy Management — Frequently Asked Questions

How do we compare sites of different sizes fairly?
Total kWh makes a large site look unfairly bad. 6S Teknoloji ranks sites by consumption per m² for the same period, while the unit price metric shows what the same consumption costs under different tariff or supply terms. This separates whether the problem lies in efficiency or in price.
Do head office and a site manager see the same screen?
No. Permissions follow scope: the head-office team sees every site in the group in one session, while a site manager sees only the facility assigned to them. Read-only and write permissions are defined separately.
Can hotels, hospitals and stores be monitored on the same platform?
Yes. Each site is set up with device templates suited to its facility type: UPS and generators in a hospital, chillers and boilers in a hotel, climate control and lighting in a store. Because they are all grouped together, the portfolio dashboard and comparison tables work regardless of facility type.
What needs to be installed at each site?
An energy analyser or meter that can be read over Modbus and a field unit connected to the facility network are enough. No panel change is needed; at most sites the existing analyser in the main panel is used. Because the field unit opens an encrypted outbound connection to the centre, no ports are opened on the site network.
Is data lost if the internet goes down?
No. Readings are held in the local queue on the site's field unit for at least 30 days and transferred retrospectively when the link returns. No record is deleted until the centre has acknowledged receiving it.
Does it work for our stores inside shopping centres?
It does. A store inside a shopping centre is often billed from the centre management's sub-meter; if that meter can be read, the data is taken directly, otherwise a separate analyser is added to the store panel.
