Organizations
An organization in Energy Hub is a logical entity that represents your business. You set up an organization to model your facility, energy networks, loads, and usage types based on how you manage them. The organization model includes locations, equipment and monitoring devices that are providing the measurement data for the loads and supplies in your facility. A well defined organization makes it easy for you to set user roles and access permissions. It also results in automatically created information views that match how you run your facility.
Energy Hub uses the organization model to analyze and aggregate the energy data and to present the results. For example, you can investigate issues based on your facility layout, such as sites and buildings, or based on usage types, such as heating or lighting.
An organization has a name, an image icon, and users. Only the users assigned to an organization can access it.
Regions, sites, and site layouts
Regions, sites, and other locations define the physical layout of your facilities in the organization model.
How detailed you model your facilities can vary. It depends on your type of business, the installed monitoring devices, and how detailed you want the energy information to be.
You can use the following elements to build the model:
- Region (A large geographical area, for example state, province, country)
- Site (A specific location, with a street address)
- Building
- Floor
- Area
- Space
- Production Line
- Zone
Your model can include one or more of each of these elements. At a minimum, you need to define one site.

| Building | – | Main Building |
