WattCarbon
If you’re using EKM Metering devices in ways that are changing energy use in a building, the WattCarbon platform can automatically pull data from these devices to provide real time analytics on energy consumption and the emissions impacts of your work.
To connect your EKM Metering data to Aristotle, WattCarbon’s AI powered energy and emissions analysis tool, just perform the following steps.
Note: You’ll need your EKM Metering API key. Information about how to obtain your API key and the EKM Metering API in general is available here: https://documents.ekmmetering.com/api-docs/realtime-api.html
1. Create an account
Simply visit wattcarbon.com and click the “Sign In” button on the upper right. This will take you to the following screen where you can click “Create Account.”
You’ll receive an email from us to verify your account.
2. Connect Your Data
Once logged in, you’ll be taken to the following screen:
Click the “Connect your data now” which will take you to a screen showing all of the available, “out of the box” data integrations in the WattCarbon platform, including EKM Metering:
Select the EKM Metering logo, which will take you to this screen.
Once you’ve provided the key, you should see a list of your EKM meters. Here is an example of what you should expect to see using the EKM Metering API test key (available in the EKM Metering API documentation).
From here you can click “Register a new asset”, which is where you will attach one or more of these meters, provide a couple of additional pieces of information about the building itself, and the type of measurement you want to perform. You can find more information at wattcarbon.com or in our demo.
Here are some of the potential benefits you can enjoy from connecting your EKM Metering data to the WattCarbon platform:
1. Automated, Real-Time Measurement & Verification (M&V)
WattCarbon’s Aristotle platform automates the collection of energy data in real time, using advanced AI pipelines to deliver validated measurements in seconds—not months. It accurately tracks hourly energy use and carbon savings across a range of distributed equipment—including buildings, EV chargers, solar, and batteries—creating a robust "system of record" for energy performance.
2. Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) Generation
Each unit of energy or carbon reduction is captured as an EAC—a tradable, serialized certificate tied to precise time/window and location. These are fully auditable and uniquely trackable, allowing organizations to trust the integrity of their decarbonization claims.
3. Transparent, Auditable, and Open-Standards-Based
WattCarbon emphasizes full audit-ability using peer-reviewed methods and open-source standards. It is a founding member of the OpenEAC Alliance where all project-based M&V methodologies used by WattCarbon are published.
