Get Started FreeWhat is Utility Control?
Utility Control is a comprehensive web-based application designed for monitoring, tracking, and managing utility consumption across multiple locations. Whether you're managing electricity, water, gas, or heating meters for residential properties, commercial buildings, or industrial facilities, Utility Control provides the tools you need to gain insights into your utility usage patterns and costs.
The system enables you to organize meters by location, track readings over time, calculate daily consumption with intelligent interpolation, and visualize usage trends through interactive charts. With built-in cost tracking and CSV import/export capabilities, Utility Control streamlines utility management workflows and helps identify opportunities for optimization.
Key Features & Capabilities
Location-Based Organization
Organize your utility meters by physical locations such as buildings, properties, or facilities. Each location can contain multiple meters of different types, making it easy to manage complex portfolios and track consumption at both the location and meter level.
Multi-Meter Type Support
Support for electricity, water, gas, and heating meters. Each meter can be configured with custom names, units of measurement, meter numbers, and descriptions. Flexible meter type definitions allow you to track any utility type that uses cumulative readings.
Intelligent Usage Calculation
Advanced interpolation algorithms calculate daily usage even when readings aren't taken every day. The system distributes consumption between reading dates, providing accurate daily usage estimates and enabling trend analysis over any time period.
Cost Tracking & Analysis
Configure cost per unit and currency for each meter to automatically calculate daily costs. Visualize cost trends alongside usage patterns to understand the financial impact of consumption and identify cost-saving opportunities.
Interactive Analytics
Three powerful chart types: Usage Over Time (linear time axis showing consumption between readings), Daily Usage (bar chart with interpolated daily values), and Daily Cost (cost visualization). Filter by week, month, 2 months, 3 months, or year for flexible analysis.
Bulk Data Management
Import meter readings from CSV files for efficient bulk data entry. Export readings to CSV for backup, reporting, or integration with other systems. Supports flexible date formats and automatic validation during import.
Use Cases & Value Proposition
Property Management
Property managers can track utility consumption across multiple properties and units. Identify high-consumption properties, detect anomalies, and provide detailed usage reports to property owners or tenants.
Value: Cost allocation, tenant billing accuracy, maintenance planning
Facility Management
Monitor utility consumption across different facilities, buildings, or departments. Compare usage patterns, identify inefficiencies, and track the impact of energy-saving initiatives over time.
Value: Operational efficiency, sustainability reporting, budget planning
Energy Auditing
Conduct detailed energy audits by tracking consumption patterns, identifying peak usage periods, and analyzing cost trends. Export data for comprehensive reports and recommendations.
Value: Energy optimization, cost reduction, compliance reporting
How It Works
Set Up Locations
Create locations (buildings, properties, facilities) and add relevant details such as address and location type. Locations serve as containers for organizing related meters.
Add Meters
For each location, add meters with details including meter name, type (electricity, water, gas, heating), unit of measurement, cost per unit, currency, and meter number. Configure each meter according to your tracking needs.
Record Readings
Enter meter readings manually through the web interface or import bulk readings via CSV. Each reading includes the meter value, date/time, and optional notes. Readings can be edited or deleted as needed.
Analyze & Visualize
View interactive charts showing usage over time, daily consumption patterns, and cost trends. Filter by time periods (week, month, 2 months, 3 months, year) to analyze specific ranges. The system automatically calculates daily usage using interpolation between readings.
Export & Report
Export meter readings to CSV for reporting, backup, or integration with accounting systems. Use the data to generate consumption reports, identify trends, and make informed decisions about utility usage optimization.
Example Workflow
Scenario: Managing Utility Consumption for a Multi-Building Property
Step 1: Create locations for each building (e.g., "Building A", "Building B", "Building C").
Step 2: Add meters to each building. For Building A, add an electricity meter (cost: $0.12/kWh), a water meter (cost: $0.003/gallon), and a gas meter (cost: $0.08/therm).
Step 3: Record monthly meter readings. You can enter them manually or import from a CSV file containing all readings for the month.
Step 4: View analytics for any meter. Select "3 months" filter to see consumption trends over the quarter. The Daily Usage chart shows interpolated daily consumption, while the Daily Cost chart shows the financial impact.
Step 5: Compare usage across buildings by viewing each building's meters. Identify Building B as having unusually high electricity consumption in December.
Step 6: Export Building B's electricity readings to CSV for detailed analysis. Use the data to investigate the spike and implement energy-saving measures.
Result: You've identified a cost-saving opportunity, tracked the impact of your intervention, and maintained comprehensive records for reporting and budgeting.
