FINtastic Energy Management Solutions

We’re seeing a shift across the globe towards renewable energy and net zero carbon emissions projects. From the vehicles we drive to the homes and buildings we occupy, energy consumption and management are becoming part of a larger conversation around reducing the effects of climate change. 

As huge consumers of energy, it’s time for the buildings industry to step up and take action to reduce our carbon footprint. The challenges in doing so include the need to keep up with the rapidly changing and expanding technology and IoT landscape, as well as a lack of comprehensive open integration platforms for various systems and buildings. Simply put, there needs to be more accessible and interoperable solutions. That’s why the team at J2 Innovations has been working to make the FIN Framework compatible with renewable energy technologies and easy for energy related OEMs to leverage. 

FIN software can manage, monitor, analyze and control complex energy flows and increase an energy systems’ flexibility and reliability. FIN can also support managing infrastructure for electric vehicles! Using FIN for Energy Management offers an easy way to integrate, connect, manage, visualize, analyze and control a range of energy management products and solutions.
