by Shane Henson — June 11, 2014—E-Mon, an electric submetering market leader and manufacturer of the widely installed E-Mon D-Mon product line, recently announced that it is offering Honeywell’s Attune Energy Dashboard service to provide facilities management professionals with an effective and user-friendly dashboard of energy usage and trends.
The cloud-based Attune Energy Dashboard service accesses historical and real-time energy-usage data from a variety of meters, including E-Mon D-Mon submeters. By viewing and analyzing this energy consumption information, facilities managers are able to gain insight into building and process performance, establish baseline patterns, and identify energy savings opportunities.
The online dashboard service helps FMs improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.

With this service, E-Mon D-Mon smart meters are connected via the industry-standard Modbus TCP/IP communication protocol to the data warehouse where the facility’s actual energy data is posted to the password-protected, Web-based Attune Energy Dashboard. The customizable dashboard displays analytics as widgets in a graphically intuitive interface, making them easy to understand. Each site on the dashboard has a unique customizable current consumption display that includes a variety of widgets, graphs and charts showing energy consumption data for electric, gas, water, fuel oil, and/or steam.
Some available widgets include:
- Building profile
- Site information
- Electricity cost
- Building operating schedule
- Weather information and degree days
- Electric, gas, and water trends
- Electric, gas, and water gauges
In addition, a reporting feature of the Attune Energy Dashboard allows users to create and export CSV file reports for outside temperature, demand, previous period, and relative humidity by hour, week, day, and month for selectable date ranges either by individual meters or aggregate meters.
