GridPoint Intelligence vs Verdigris

GridPoint Intelligence is an energy management platform for commercial customers looking to understand and optimize energy use across buildings. It connects with existing building assets and provides metering, asset monitoring, remote controls, and energy optimization. The platform interprets building data to automate operations, identify anomalies and inefficiencies, and recommend actions related to equipment performance.

For HVAC, GridPoint monitors units, helps diagnose issues remotely, ranks them by severity, and supports repair validation. Automation can use schedules based on time of use, operating hours, occupancy, sensors, and daylight. GridPoint says its demand response technology is OpenADR certified and works with other protocols. Its energy manager app provides energy-use feedback, asset monitoring, reports, and alerts on Android and iOS; the platform is also available on the web. Two-factor authentication is optional. Pricing is on request, and packages can be out of the box or customized for a site. A 90-day pilot is available. GridPoint was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

Verdigris is a cloud-first platform for electrical intelligence and real-time energy monitoring in data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. Its Smart Current Transformers track energy at building, equipment, or phase level, with analysis at the edge. Cloud software presents energy use, demand peaks, forecasts, power quality, and end-use information, including watts, voltage, current, and power factor. The company says granular readings can help data centers identify stranded capacity and manage AI workload growth. Adaptive Automation uses energy, weather, and building signals to forecast usage and adjust HVAC operation for efficiency and peak demand management. Building management systems can connect through BACnet/IP and Modbus/TCP. The API provides property and asset details with time-series measurements; users can export app data as CSV. A mobile app supports installation tasks, and the cloud service is accessible through a web browser without software installation. Verdigris says customer energy data is available only to authorized customer accounts and is not shared without consent. It announced completion of a SOC 2 Type II compliance audit in 2024. Pricing is on request; product pages invite prospective customers to request a demo.
