Why compare a ranked queue to monitoring and energy balances

Mondas centres monitoring, KPIs, and fault alarms. Explore centres a ranked queue.

Anyone searching for a Mondas alternative is usually weighing a Freiburg-built data platform for connected energy systems: vendor-neutral monitoring and analytics across buildings and decentralised energy assets. Mondas GmbH (Emmy-Noether-Str. 2, 79110 Freiburg) publishes Mondas Facility for building and energy monitoring on property portfolios and neighbourhoods, plus sibling products in the same family: Mondas PV, Mondas BESS, and Mondas Heat. This page compares Mondas for buildings (Facility), while treating the wider suite honestly. Facility materials describe orchestrated monitoring of HVAC, lighting, water, PV, heat pumps, CHP, storage, and EV charging; energy and CO₂ balances; KPIs, benchmarking, ranking, and trends; a rule-based and AI-supported algorithm library; automatic fault monitoring with prioritisation; alarms to ticket, email, or SMS; AMEV-compliant building monitoring; commissioning through continuous operation; EMS integration; German ISO/IEC 27001 data centres or on-premises; and buses including Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet, and REST APIs. Named audience: facility managers, technical property managers, maintenance providers, hospitality, and energy-district operators. We do not invent Mondas pricing or FrostLogic customer logos here.

FrostLogic Explore is built for a different day-to-day. It reads your BMS, meters, and IoT sensors and returns a ranked queue: what to fix, why, and what waiting costs, with an evidence trail back to the signal. Anomaly detection runs seven detector types. Forecasting carries confidence bounds. Continuous compliance covers BREEAM, LEED, and Nordic Swan. Write access starts off; you grant BMS writes one scope at a time after review, or auto-run inside a granted scope. Smart Schedules exist as a default-off pilot; the LLM is never in the control loop. Protocols: BACnet, OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, M-Bus, oBIX. Hosting is in the EU on Hetzner. List prices are public on Explore pricing: AI Automation €1,500 per building per year, AI Maintenance from €5,450 per building per year by sensor band, free 90-day pilot. Stay on Mondas when you want German monitoring across buildings plus energy assets, dashboards and energy balances, AMEV-style technical monitoring, fault alarms into existing tickets, or optional on-prem German hosting. Shortlist Explore when the gap is Sensor Intelligence: seven detectors into a prioritised decision queue, grounded inference, Edge Agent on the systems you already run, and permissioned write-back after you grant a scope.

Head to head

FrostLogic Explore and Mondas, and who each one is actually for.

FrostLogic Explore

Best for teams that want a ranked decision queue with grounded evidence, not another monitoring dashboard

Explore is ours, so read this entry knowing that. It runs seven anomaly-detection methods with causal filtering, forecasts every tracked metric one hour to seven days ahead with confidence bounds, and tracks BREEAM, LEED, and Nordic Swan criteria continuously. Findings land as a prioritised queue with an evidence trail. Hosting is in the EU on Hetzner or in your own cluster; data and trained models are exportable from day one. Write access starts off; you grant them one scope at a time. AI Automation is €1,500 per building per year flat; AI Maintenance starts at €5,450 per building per year by sensor band, cheaper on a 3-year deal; Enterprise over 20 buildings is quoted. Free 90-day pilot, no start fee or hardware.

Where Explore wins: ranked queue day-to-day, grounded inference, EU hosting on Hetzner, permissioned BMS write-back after you grant a scope, and published pricing plus pilot. Where Mondas still wins: German monitoring depth across buildings and energy assets (PV, BESS, heat), dashboards with energy and CO₂ balances, AMEV-compliant technical monitoring, fault alarms into ticket/email/SMS workflows, and optional on-premises German hosting.

Mondas

Best for German and EU estates that want monitoring and analytics across buildings plus connected energy systems

Mondas Facility is Mondas GmbH's building and energy monitoring product for property portfolios and neighbourhoods. Public materials describe orchestrated monitoring of HVAC, lighting, water, PV, heat pumps, CHP, storage, and EV charging; KPI calculation; energy and CO₂ balances; benchmarking, ranking, and trends; rule-based and AI-supported algorithms; automatic fault monitoring with prioritisation; alarms to ticket, email, or SMS; AMEV-compliant building monitoring; commissioning and continuous operation; predictive-maintenance-style service scheduling; and EMS integration. The same platform family also sells Mondas PV, Mondas BESS, and Mondas Heat. Hosting: German ISO/IEC 27001 data centres or on-premises. Buses named publicly include Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet, and REST APIs.

Where Mondas wins: German market depth for technical monitoring, energy-asset coverage beside buildings, AMEV conformity framing, dashboard and balance workflows, and on-prem options. The boundary for Explore buyers: Mondas centres monitoring, KPIs, and fault alarms. Explore is Sensor Intelligence that returns a ranked queue, with writes that start off on the systems you already run. Explore is not a CMMS and not an AMEV compliance tool.

Weighing other European EMS and BEMS options too? Clockworks, BrainBox, Nuuka, Facilio, Kiona, Myrspoven, Spacewell Energy (formerly DEXMA), aedifion, and Demand Logic sit on the same shortlist.

Before you shortlist

Five questions that settle Mondas vs Explore faster than any comparison.

Ask these on the first call with either vendor, including us. The field narrows itself fast.

  1. Do you need monitoring dashboards and energy balances, or a ranked decision queue? Mondas Facility centres orchestrated monitoring, KPIs, balances, and fault alarms. Explore opens a prioritised queue with evidence, and write access starts off until you grant a scope. Match the tool to the morning job.

  2. Is AMEV-style technical monitoring or on-prem German hosting mandatory? Mondas markets AMEV-compliant building monitoring and German ISO/IEC 27001 data centres or on-premises. If that packaging is mandatory, Mondas is the stronger fit. Explore is EU-hosted on Hetzner or self-hosted; it is not an AMEV compliance product.

  3. Do you need one platform across buildings plus PV, BESS, and heat networks? Mondas sells Facility beside Mondas PV, Mondas BESS, and Mondas Heat. Explore reads BMS, meters, and IoT for building Sensor Intelligence. If the buying centre is a multi-asset energy data platform, stay with Mondas.

  4. Can you see list pricing before a sales cycle? Explore publishes AI Automation at €1,500 per building per year and AI Maintenance from €5,450 per building per year by sensor band, with a free 90-day pilot. Mondas does not publish a public EUR list price we could verify; ask them for a current quote rather than inventing a number.

  5. Where does the data live, and can you leave with it? Explore is EU-hosted on Hetzner or self-hosted, with exportable data and models. Mondas offers German data centres or on-premises; confirm residency, subprocessors, and exit terms in writing for your portfolio.

Before you ask

Mondas alternative questions we get about Mondas and Explore.

No. Mondas Facility is German building and energy monitoring with dashboards, balances, AMEV-style technical monitoring, and fault alarms, inside a wider PV/BESS/heat platform family. Explore is a Sensor Intelligence layer that returns a ranked decision queue on the BMS and meters you already run, with write access that starts off. Different product centre.

Pick Mondas when you want a German monitoring and analytics data platform across buildings plus energy assets, AMEV-compliant technical monitoring, KPI and energy-balance workflows, fault alarms into tickets, or optional on-prem German hosting. Pick Explore when operators need a prioritised queue with grounded evidence, EU hosting on Hetzner, public list prices, and writes that start off and stay scoped.

Explore list prices are public: AI Automation €1,500 per building per year flat; AI Maintenance from €5,450 per building per year by sensor band, cheaper on a 3-year deal; Enterprise over 20 buildings quoted; free 90-day pilot; no start fee or hardware. Mondas does not publish a public EUR list we could verify. We do not invent EUR list prices for them; ask Mondas for a current quote.

Write access starts off. You grant permissioned BMS writes per scope after review. Smart Schedules exist inside a granted scope. Do not read Explore as a never-write product, and do not read it as unsupervised closed-loop HVAC control by default.

No. Mondas markets AMEV-compliant building monitoring. Explore does not claim AMEV conformity and is not positioned as a Mondas clone. It is Sensor Intelligence with a ranked queue.

In the EU on Hetzner, or self-hosted in your own cluster. Data and trained models are exportable. That is a deliberate EU-buyer posture beside any German monitoring stack you keep for AMEV or multi-asset energy dashboards.

Clockworks for HVAC diagnostics (Clockworks alternative), BrainBox or Nuuka for autonomous control (BrainBox alternative, Nuuka alternative), Facilio when energy sits inside a CMMS (Facilio alternative), Kiona or Myrspoven for Nordic closed-loop HVAC (Kiona alternative, Myrspoven alternative), Spacewell Energy (formerly DEXMA) for European EMS dashboards and M&V (DEXMA alternative), aedifion for German analytics-plus-control (aedifion alternative), Demand Logic for UK Actions collaboration (Demand Logic alternative), and Explore when the gap is a ranked queue.
