Energy API¶
The Energy API enables you to read energy consumption, emission, or cost data for a location or a meter in the granularity and for the period of interest.
The API is available as an add-on in combination with an active Building X Energy Manager subscription. Building X Energy Manager customers with a Navigator conversion subscription cannot use the API.
