CHESTER Energy
Eliminate manual meter readings and meet EED compliance deadlines. Digitize existing utility meters via Modbus RS‑485 for real-time consumption tracking, ESG reporting, and fair cost allocation.
Energy metering starter configuration
A focused first deployment for remote electricity, heat, water, or gas meter reading where buyers need reliable consumption data without manual visits.
Included in the first configuration
CHESTER Energy gateway
CHESTER unit configured for RS-485 Modbus meter polling with battery or external power options.
Meter register map
Initial configuration for the buyer's meter model, readout interval, and required consumption values.
Connectivity and reporting
NB-IoT, LTE-M, or LoRaWAN delivery into HARDWARIO Cloud, ESG reporting, BMS, or billing workflows.
Exception rules
Optional alerts for missing reads, abnormal consumption, leak indicators, or portfolio-level comparison.
Best-fit projects
- Commercial sub-metering and tenant billing
- EED remote-readiness projects
- Multi-site energy reporting
Buyer output
- Automated meter readings
- Consumption dashboard or API feed
- Abnormal use and missed-read alerts
Bring to the call
- Which meter types and Modbus registers are used?
- How often should readings be captured?
- Which system consumes the data after collection?

Use Cases
ESG & Sustainability Reporting
Stop assembling energy reports from spreadsheets. Automatically collect granular consumption data across facilities for carbon footprint calculations, audit-ready ESG reports, and sustainability dashboards.
Cost Allocation
End billing disputes with accurate data. Sub-meter individual departments, production lines, or tenants for fair, consumption-based utility cost distribution - no manual meter reads.
Leak & Waste Detection
Catch hidden losses before they become costly. Identify abnormal consumption patterns that reveal water leaks, compressed air losses, or energy waste - saving thousands per year.
Multi-Site Portfolio Monitoring
Manage dozens of buildings from one screen. Deploy across your portfolio to create unified consumption dashboards - eliminating manual reading visits and giving facility managers real-time visibility.
