A ledger, not a dashboard
A dashboard shows you what’s happening now. A ledger keeps the accounts: every kilowatt-hour attributed to a fixture or zone, every alarm with its resolution, every configuration change with a name and a timestamp. That history is what measurement and verification needs, what an incentive post-inspection asks for, and what a new facility manager reads to find out why the warehouse aisles dim to 20% instead of 10%.
It’s also what keeps savings from quietly eroding. Most controls savings are lost not to failures but to drift: a schedule changed for an event and never changed back, a sensor blocked by new shelving, an override that became permanent. Ledger Watch looks for exactly those patterns and puts a kWh figure on each one, so you can decide which are worth fixing first.
Deployment: on top of what you already have
Ledger is built for buildings that already have controls, often from more than one manufacturer. A gateway on the lighting network reads each system through its own API or BACnet interface. Where a platform exposes nothing useful, circuit meters fill the gap. Gateway installation is usually a single site visit, and we coordinate the network side with your IT team before we arrive.
We test every new platform connection on the Lytbit Lab bench first, so the level of detail we promise is the level you get. The full list of protocols Ledger can ingest is on our integrations page.
Ledger is included in the Operate step of our approach, and it’s available on its own as an analytics subscription scoped by site and device count. Support plans add response times and field visits; see managed monitoring and support.
Reports you can send without rewriting them
- M&V reports: baseline, method, adjustments, and results, with the uncertainty stated.
- Incentive packages: the measured performance and documentation that utility programs request after installation.
- Commissioning records: configuration reports, functional test logs, and trim schedules from commissioning, kept current as the system is tuned.
- ESG summaries: energy and emissions data in the formats your reporting team uses, including data for ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.
- Operations reports: monthly or quarterly faults, fixes, and tuning changes for the people who run the building.
Your data stays yours
Ledger is hosted in the US, and the customer owns the data. Every record can be exported at any time as CSV, through the API, or as an MQTT stream into your own systems, with no export fees and no request form. If you stop using Ledger, you get a full export before anything is deleted. We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use it to compare you with anyone else without your written permission.
The details of segmentation, access control, retention, and incident response are on our security and data page.
