Verdigris

Verdigris is a cloud-based platform for electrical intelligence and real-time energy monitoring in data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities. Its Smart Current Transformers measure energy at building, equipment, or phase level, with analysis at the edge. The cloud software presents energy use, demand peaks, forecasts, power quality, and end-use views, including watts, voltage, current, and power factor. For data centers, the company says these granular readings can help identify stranded capacity and manage AI workload growth. Adaptive Automation uses energy, weather, and building signals to forecast use and adjust HVAC operation for efficiency and peak demand management. Verdigris says it can identify motor problems, detect equipment faults, and separate device signatures on a circuit. Building systems can connect through BACnet/IP and Modbus/TCP. Users can export data as CSV or access measurements through the API, and a mobile app supports gateway discovery, circuit mapping, installation validation, and protocol configuration. The cloud service is accessible by browser without software installation. Pricing is available on request; product pages invite prospective customers to request a demo.

Verdigris is aimed at data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities that need detailed electrical monitoring. Its mobile installation tools and building-system integrations may suit teams working with gateways and existing BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP systems.

Verdigris is a cloud energy-intelligence platform for data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities that need granular electrical visibility and building-system control. It suits operations teams comfortable connecting meters, equipment, and management systems through APIs and standard protocols. The strongest case is a facility that must move from aggregate bills to circuit-level diagnosis, forecasting, and automation; smaller teams may find a custom-quoted, infrastructure-oriented service more than they need.

Overview

Verdigris combines edge analysis from Smart Current Transformers with cloud analytics. Measurements can be taken at building, equipment, or phase level, producing watts, voltage, current, power factor, heatmaps, demand peaks, power-quality readings, and building-power forecasts. That granularity is particularly relevant to data centers: the company positions the platform for finding stranded capacity and managing growth in AI workloads rather than simply reporting monthly consumption.

The service is entirely cloud-based and available around the clock through a browser, with no desktop software installation. Customer energy data is restricted to authorized accounts and is not shared without consent. Verdigris completed a SOC 2 Type II compliance audit in 2024, a useful assurance for organizations evaluating operational data controls.

Key features

Electrical intelligence and diagnostics

Verdigris can separate device signatures on a single circuit, identify motor problems, and detect equipment faults. In practice, that gives maintenance and facilities teams a way to investigate abnormal loads without treating every circuit as an undifferentiated total. The value is highest where electrical behavior is operationally important and circuit-level instrumentation can be deployed.

Forecasting and automation

Cloud tools cover usage analysis, demand peaks, power forecasts, power-quality measurements, and end-use views. Adaptive Automation combines energy, weather, and building signals to forecast demand and adjust HVAC operation for efficiency and peak-demand management. This is a meaningful step beyond dashboards, but it is most appropriate for buildings with controllable HVAC and a team prepared to govern automated changes.

Integrations, API, and exports

BACnet/IP and Modbus/TCP connect Verdigris to building-management systems. A 2026 update says the rebuilt integration agent passes both the BACnet Testing Laboratories conformance suite and a Modbus conformance test, which should reduce protocol-compatibility concerns. The API exposes property and asset data plus time-series energy, power, voltage, current, power factor, and other measurements. CSV export supports ordinary analysis, while a documented Python pusher sends metrics to Prometheus-compatible remote-write endpoints including Prometheus, Grafana Cloud, Mimir, and Thanos.

Installation workflow and mobile access

The mobile app supports gateway discovery, circuit mapping, installation validation, and BACnet/Modbus configuration. That makes deployment work more structured for installers and facilities teams, rather than leaving commissioning entirely to a browser workflow.

Pricing

Verdigris uses paid, custom pricing. Product pages invite prospective customers to request a demo, and no subscription price, seat allowance, quota, trial period, or renewal term is stated. This model fits organizations that expect a scoped deployment and can budget through a sales process, but it prevents a quick cost comparison and gives smaller facilities no published entry point.

Platforms

Verdigris runs on web, Android, and iOS, with API access for programmatic use. Browser access is cloud-based and requires no software installation. The mobile applications are especially relevant during gateway and circuit commissioning, while the API and CSV options serve data engineering and monitoring workflows.

Who it's for

Choose Verdigris for data centers managing capacity and AI-load growth, commercial buildings seeking demand and HVAC optimization, or industrial sites where equipment faults and motor behavior matter. It is a strong fit when BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP integration, time-series access, and external observability through Prometheus are requirements. Facilities seeking a transparent, self-serve price or a lightweight consumption dashboard should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Circuit-, phase-, and equipment-level measurements support fault investigation and capacity decisions that aggregate utility data cannot.
• Pro: Forecasting and Adaptive Automation connect analytics to HVAC and peak-demand action, not just reporting.
• Pro: BACnet and Modbus support, conformance testing, API access, CSV export, and Prometheus integration provide broad operational-data paths.
• Con: Custom pricing with no published trial, quotas, or seat terms makes initial evaluation and budgeting difficult.
• Con: The platform's benefits depend on metering installation, building-system connectivity, and operational expertise, so it is excessive for simple bill tracking.

Alternatives

Browse Energy Management Software for a wider category comparison. Enertiv is the better starting point when a free, no-commitment portfolio diagnostic using read-only ESPM data is more important than Verdigris's circuit-level electrical intelligence. Choose KERO for a paid platform with the same broad web, mobile, and API reach but a different product approach.

Spacewell suits buyers comparing workplace, energy, or asset-focused offerings, including an Energy Ultimate plan with customized data points and unlimited admin users. CIM PEAK is worth considering when pricing based on data points, partner or portfolio discounts, and no user limit per building match procurement needs. Honeywell Forge is the alternative for organizations wanting Honeywell's broader product ecosystem, with product-specific offerings and term-based licensing for Advanced Process Control.

EnergyElephant is a more price-visible option: its Large plan is $7.30 a month with a 300-meter/data-point minimum, scope 3 data, unlimited users, and realtime options; its Medium plan is $15.80 a month. Siemens Building X fits teams seeking yearly application or API subscriptions in a freemium model, while EcoStruxure IT is the alternative for infrastructure monitoring sold in a three-year, 250-node Expert package.

Verdict

Verdigris is a strong recommendation for sophisticated facilities that need granular electrical measurements, dependable building-system integration, forecasting, and automation in one cloud service. Its main reason to choose it is the combination of circuit-level intelligence and actionable controls; its main reason to look elsewhere is custom pricing and the implementation effort required to realize those capabilities.
