Submetering Improves Energy Insight

Gain operational insight and identify anomalies in equipment performance with a “real-time” view. Finding out that there is a leak in your compressed air system, or that your rooftop cooling unit is cycling when it should be idling, is crucial information.

Discovering that a piece of equipment is guzzling more electricity than it should, gives you an opportunity to repair or replace it, generating energy savings but also reducing the risk of a disruption to your business operations.

Detailed Portfolio-wide Perspective

Continuity of information provides a complete portfolio perspective. Our eiEnterprise platform can ingest large amounts of data and analyse it in a way that gives you a clear and detailed portfolio-wide view. Analysing energy usage from all types of equipment across multiple facilities provides valuable insight essential to making informed decisions about managing the equipment in your organisation.

Today's energy meters provide readings in real time, allowing you to monitor energy usage continuously. This is the ideal way to find and mitigate consumption drivers under various circumstances and time periods.

Prioritise Accountability For Energy Use

Holding users responsible for their consumption necessitates providing adequate information to monitor and accurately measure their overall performance. Accountability for energy efficiency throughout the organisation ought to be the driving force that results in greater investment in metering infrastructure and instruments. It will ensure that metered data is used effectively to update decision-making because meters alone will not bring about energy efficiency or conservation.

Once you can accurately allocate the energy usage per machine, production line, or whatever, you can treat it as a business unit where the "manager" is accountable for meeting productivity and efficiency goals.

Real-time Energy Information

The Internet of Things (IoT) has made energy meters more powerful. Thanks to IoT, energy meters are now smaller, cheaper, and capable of sending real-time energy information to the cloud, where it can be layered with other data sets, analysed, and presented to facility managers in a more effective and "actionable" way.

Wireless meters are tamper-resistant since there are no BACnet or Modbus wires running around the building that could be tapped. These improvements make energy meters safe, affordable, and easy to obtain continuous information on your facility's energy consumption.

Alerts for Predictive Maintenance and Maintenance Needs

Waiting to fix your vital equipment until it fails is expensive and risky. Energy meter data lets you know if there is a degradation in performance that indicates whether specific maintenance needs to be done. This allows the facility manager to proactively dispatch a fix on an as-needed basis, avoiding paying for work that isn't needed while also being on top of required repairs.

For example, knowing that a filter needs to be replaced after seeing a reduction in performance is better than finding out after the filter has been clogged for months. Energy metering will save time and money by enabling "right time" preventive maintenance.
