Article 16 of 20 · Sector-specific softwareEnergy management for real estate: control over consumption, costs and portfolio
Direct answer
Energy management for real estate with COMCAM brings consumption, costs and peak load of each building together in a central, supplier-independent overview. You compare buildings fairly, recognise deviations and steer portfolio-wide on savings and sustainability.
- Central portfolio comparison
- Supplier-independent insight
- Deviations and peaks per building
- Substantiation for sustainability and ESG
Separate building reporting versus central portfolio overview
Those who manage real estate rarely lack invoices or portals, but do lack overview. Consumption is spread across buildings, meters, tenants and suppliers. COMCAM brings that data together supplier-independently, so you compare buildings fairly, see deviations early and know where sustainability and savings yield the most.
Key points
Comparing
Traditional approach
Each building has its own invoices, meters or portals.
Modern approach
All buildings stand side by side with normalisation per m2 and function.
Deviations
Traditional approach
Problems are only noticed with high invoices.
Modern approach
Deviating night consumption, peaks and silent waste become visible quickly.
Sustainability
Traditional approach
Measures are chosen ad hoc per building.
Modern approach
Priorities emerge from data: where does intervention yield the most?
Steering
Traditional approach
Management depends on separate building managers.
Modern approach
Owner, finance and facility steer from a shared view.
Which data do you need?
The basis consists of quarter-hour values, annual consumption, meter and location data and contract context per building. With this you normalise consumption and compare buildings fairly, regardless of supplier or contract form.
- Quarter-hour values for electricity and gas per building.
- Meters, EANs, floor area and building function.
- Costs, contracted capacity and tariff components.
- Alerts on data quality, night consumption and deviations.
Where is the gain in real estate?
With a portfolio, savings rarely lie in a single dashboard, but in the difference between buildings. By normalising buildings it becomes clear which building structurally falls out of line and where sustainability pays off fastest.
- Buildings that structurally consume more per m2.
- Unexplained night consumption outside usage hours.
- Peak load in relation to contracted capacity.
- Substantiation for label steps and sustainability budget.
Start modularly with COMCAM
You build up insight in modules and pay only for what you need. Start with consumption insight per building and expand to financial and capacity analysis once the portfolio calls for it. All prices are indicative and set after scope.
- Consumption Analysis at a fixed price per meter per month (base).
- Financial Analysis: fixed surcharge per meter per month.
- Capacity Analysis: fixed surcharge per meter per month.
- Asset Management and Congestion Management each at a fixed monthly price.

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers to common questions about this topic.
Question not covered here?
Ask a specialist directly. You will get a response within one business day.
Ask your questionDoes this work with different suppliers and contracts?
Yes. COMCAM is supplier-independent and brings buildings together across all suppliers, contracts and portals in a central overview.
Do I need expensive sensors per building?
For an initial picture, quarter-hour data is often already enough to see peaks, night consumption and deviations. You install submetering only where deeper detail is needed.
What does energy management for real estate cost?
The model is modular and indicative: Consumption Analysis at a fixed price per meter per month, with Financial Analysis and Capacity Analysis each at a fixed surcharge per meter. The final price depends on the number of buildings and the scope.
What is the core of energy management real estate?
Energy management for real estate with COMCAM brings consumption, costs and peak load of each building together in a central, supplier-independent overview. You compare buildings fairly, recognise deviations and steer portfolio-wide on savings and sustainability.
What data do I need for energy management real estate?
Start with quarter-hour meter data, invoices, contract data and site characteristics. That makes energy management real estate concrete, comparable and easier to follow up, rather than just a separate report.
When does this topic become relevant for my organisation?
As soon as it touches costs, grid capacity, reporting or daily operations. Also consider related themes such as energy management real estate portfolio, energy management real estate software and energy monitoring buildings.
