Track Energy Consumption and Cost

Before the page can report

The Energy, then Consumption page turns cumulative energy-meter readings into an operational view of use and cost. Energy tracking is included on Professional and above; see billing and plans for what yours includes.

Add a meter of type energy with unit kWh to an asset, then record at least two readings. Consumption is the difference between cumulative readings, so one reading cannot produce a total. Readings can be entered by an operator or received from a configured IoT source. Rivolq labels provenance; it does not call manually entered data live sensor data. Meter setup is covered in asset meters, thresholds, and condition PMs.

What the page shows

• Total metered consumption for the selected window.
• Estimated spend when an energy rate is configured.
• Intensity and reporting coverage.
• Consumption over time.
• Top-consuming assets.
• Biggest movers against each asset's own prior period.
• Breakdown by facility.

Use the facility selector and the 30-, 90-, or 365-day window to change scope.

Configure cost

Admins can set an organization-wide cost per kWh under Settings, then Energy, and add per-site overrides where tariffs differ. A blank rate means cost is not configured, so Rivolq hides spend instead of presenting zero-cost electricity.

Spend is an estimate: metered kWh multiplied by the configured rate. It is not a reconciled utility bill and does not include demand charges, time-of-use pricing, taxes, or other tariff components.

Empty states

• No energy meters: add an energy meter to an asset.
• No readings in this window: choose a longer window or record another reading.
• Partial coverage: treat portfolio totals as the metered subset, not as whole-building utility truth.
