What is Energy Monitoring
...and how can it save me money?
The companies who provide the billing metering for your organisation will on request provide a secondary output from the meters in the form of a switch. Every time the switch operates it represents a unit of energy used. By wiring the switch to a computer our Eco Warrior software can monitor second by second the energy you consume and log it on a computer screen in the form of graphs. You can also add your own private or sub meters no matter what the energy type to the system in the same way. The graphs can show energy used and what time it was used each day, week, month and year. By monitoring energy and resources the system user can see when and where money is being wasted. Our studies of numerous commercial buildings have often shown 50% or more energy is consumed when the building is closed. A similar story can be found on industrial premises with regards to machines on standby when they should be off. The monitoring system is used to expose waste occuring now and keep a check that it does not return at a later date. The money saved goes right back to the user in the form of improved profit and efficiency and/or reduced annual costs. When using the monitoring system customers can find out if :- They have been overcharged by their suppliers for energy or resources. Electrical appliances and machines are being left on when they should be off. Their Building Energy Management System is not operating as they thought. They have expensive water leaks that show no obvious visual signs.
