Energy Management
Measure, Optimise, Save:
Transforming the efficiency of buildings
Rethinking energy.
The Miniserver is your intelligent energy manager that optimises the use of all energy sources in your building. It decides in real time when, where and how much energy – whether electrical, thermal or renewable – is needed in order to maximise the benefits for the buildings occupants in the most efficient manner. With a view to weather forecasts and dynamic electricity tariffs, the miniserver ensures the smart distribution of energy, whether for your electric car, battery storage or heating. This allows you to experience sustainable and efficient energy utilisation that is tailored to your individual needs.
Buildings account for 44% of energy consumption worldwide
About half of the energy used in a building is wasted!
With Loxone in most buildings you can save at least 30% of this energy being lost.
What is energy management?
The Miniserver…
… regulates consumers based on the available surplus.
… fills the battery storage when electricity is cheap or even free.
… charges the electric car as cheaply as possible.
… takes into account and optimises for dynamic energy tariffs, like Octopus.
… heats & cools rooms or prepares hot water for when you need it.
What is load management?
The Miniserver…
… protects against consumption peaks for contracts with 15-minute measurements.
… protects the building from power failures due to overload.
Simply. Anytime & anywhere.
Your centralised, universal control system
You always have your entire building in view. Conveniently monitor, analyse and control your consumers via the App or via the PC. Thanks to the Miniserver-based solution, control, diagnostics and service can also be carried out at any time and from anywhere.
Three times simpler
Planning, configuring and automating energy management is easy. For all brands or types of PV systems, inverters or charging stations. With our project planning, the Loxone Config and the Loxone App, we make it easy for everyone involved.

Still have questions?
What is meant by energy management?
Energy management encompasses the generation, storage, monitoring and efficient use of energy, the optimisation of consumption, the use of spot prices, load management and measures for independence from the electricity grid.
How much does energy management cost?
For energy management with Loxone, in the first step you only need the Miniserver. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the Miniserver, Miniserver Go or Miniserver Compact. These are available from ≈ £385 excluding VAT. Depending on the consumers to be controlled, the system is then expanded with interfaces.
What is a spot price exactly?
Variable electricity tariffs. Read this blog here to discover more.
Can I include a backup power supply in a Loxone system?
Yes, either through having the Power Supply & Backup or through a battery storage unit you can add in backup emergency power to your building.
Which wallbox can I integrate into Loxone?
Loxone have their own Wallbox in both a Tree & Air version, but should you want to use a different brand of wallbox that is possible (Check the guides in Loxone Library for more details).
How do I integrate my inverter into Loxone?
Check out the Loxone Library for more details.
What is the ISO 50001 standard?
With ISO 50001, a company can continuously improve its energy-related performance. This leads to an increase in energy efficiency and optimised energy use. The energy management system is implemented on a voluntary basis; there is no statutory certification requirement. However, certain companies can receive tax benefits and other relief by introducing ISO 50001.
