2024 in Review: Enhancing Energy Insights for a Smarter, Sustainable Future

As we close out an exciting 2024, we’re reflecting on the major milestones that have defined this year at Verdigris. Our mission to empower facilities teams and sustainability leaders has driven us to innovate, refine, and deliver tools that make energy management smarter, data more reliable, and security uncompromising. Below, we’ll dive into the key product releases of the year that continue to drive progress toward achieving operational excellence and sustainability goals.

New Device Health Checks Dashboard: Delivering Peace of Mind

This year, we launched the Health Checks Dashboard in the Verdigris Admin Console, a breakthrough feature that brings transparency and ease to managing Verdigris devices at scale.

Why It Matters

Traditional submetering solutions often come with high maintenance demands, making it difficult to identify and resolve issues, which can compromise data reliability. Verdigris takes a different approach, running continuous diagnostic scans behind the scenes to ensure your electrical data is clean, accurate, and actionable. With the new Health Checks dashboard, we’re putting these diagnostics directly in your hands.

Key Features

  • Continuous Per-Panel Diagnostic Scans: Stay informed with real-time monitoring that flags critical reliability issues, ensuring your data stream remains uninterrupted.
  • Informative Tool-Tips: Simplify troubleshooting with clear, step-by-step guidance to resolve flagged issues quickly.

This enhancement offers unmatched transparency and confidence, enabling your team to focus on using reliable data to meet your operational and sustainability goals. You can explore the Health Checks dashboard today in your Admin Console.

The New Verdigris Mobile App: Simplifying Installations for Electricians

This year, we released the Verdigris Mobile App, designed to streamline installations and empower electricians to complete setup and activation with confidence—all within minutes. This powerful tool brings efficiency and precision to every installation step, reducing manual effort and enhancing the overall experience.

Key Features of the Verdigris Mobile App

  • Device Discovery: Powered Verdigris gateways are auto-discovered, making it simple to locate and manage devices during installation.
  • Flexible Network Connections: Multiple options for primary and secondary (redundant) network connectivity ensure robust and reliable operation.
  • QR Code Scanning: A built-in QR code scanner reduces manual data entry, saving time and minimizing errors.
  • Panel, Breaker, and Circuit Mapping: CT mappings are auto-detected, simplifying labeling and enabling seamless digital twinning of electrical layouts.
  • Real-Time Voltage Reading: Validate power quality and safety expectations with real-time line voltage readings before completing installations.
  • Installation Quality Validation: Auto-checks ensure installation success criteria are met, so you can move forward with confidence.
  • Digital Job Completion: Eliminate paperwork with digital submissions, shortening the time to activation and reducing administrative overhead.

Advanced Post-Submission Options

Once installations are submitted, the app provides additional tools to enhance performance and integration:

  • Quality checks and advanced configurations for BACnet/Modbus integration.
  • Waveform captures and firmware version checks.

The Verdigris Mobile App is available now for download:

With this app, electricians can quickly, confidently, and accurately install and activate Verdigris systems, laying the groundwork for powerful energy insights.

Energy End-Use Breakdown: Unlocking Deeper Insights

As sustainability becomes a critical imperative, we updated the Energy End-Use Breakdown View within our Analytics dashboard. This update delivers actionable clarity, empowering teams to drive measurable progress toward their energy and ESG targets.

A Clearer Picture of Energy Usage

The End-Use Breakdown provides precise insights into energy consumption patterns by:

  • Tracking kWh usage by operational area.
  • Visualizing energy distribution with percentage breakdowns.
  • Highlighting major energy consumers to uncover optimization opportunities.

Driving Impactful Decisions

Whether you’re looking to track progress over time or generate reports that engage stakeholders, the End-Use Breakdown equips you to:

  • Monitor energy trends with dynamic visualizations.
  • Simplify calculation of sustainability metrics, like PUE.
  • Validate energy data to ensure accuracy in ESG reporting.

This tool transforms raw data into a powerful roadmap for energy efficiency and waste reduction, helping organizations meet—and exceed—their sustainability goals.

SOC 2 Type II Compliance: Setting the Gold Standard for Security

In 2024, we also achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, a significant milestone that underscores our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security and trust.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we look to the future, some product developments we’re excited to be working on include:

  • Measurement & Verification (M&V) Analyzer: Evaluate the impact of your energy savings or ESPC projects with speed and precision, helping you quantify results and justify investments effortlessly.
  • AI-Based 8kHz Anomaly Detection: Harness cutting-edge AI to capture and report subtle, unobvious patterns for advanced event diagnostics and prognostics. This feature will enable proactive responses to emerging issues.
  • Electrical Digital Twin: Digitize your electrical layouts to unlock advanced equipment health monitoring and power capacity planning, delivering unprecedented insights and operational clarity.

Each of these focus areas reflects our commitment to empowering you with tools that inspire confidence, foster trust, and deliver tangible results. Together, we’re making energy management smarter and more sustainable.
