Frequently asked questions

What is the typical cost of implementing energy management software?

Enterprise platforms like Eaton, Schneider and Siemens typically require custom pricing starting from £50,000 to £500,000+ depending on facility size and complexity. Mid-market SaaS solutions like Wattics range from £500 to £2,000 monthly. SME-focused tools start around £200 per month. Implementation, integration and training often exceed software licensing costs.

How long does it take to see ROI from energy management software?

Most organisations see initial savings within 6 to 12 months. Quick wins like identifying equipment failures or scheduling optimisations can reduce energy costs by 5 to 15%. Larger enterprise deployments typically achieve 15 to 25% energy reduction within 2 to 3 years through continuous optimisation, behavioural changes and system upgrades.

Can energy management software work with existing building systems?

Most modern platforms integrate with legacy building management systems, meters and IoT devices through APIs or standard protocols like BACnet and Modbus. However, older systems may require retrofitting or meter upgrades. Cloud-based SaaS solutions often require fewer architectural changes than on-premise deployments.
