The system, which is perfectly adapted for use in either performing arts buildings or supply chain warehouses has been developed to deliver easy-to-read live consumption information for electricity, water and gas direct to buildings or facilities managers securely over the internet.
The information gathered can help drive down energy use by identifying exact wastage points. Logical grouping of areas, departments or buildings is easily achieved, with detailed reports easily created to show weekly, monthly, annual or custom period usages.
SMS or email alerts can be sent to key workers in the event of defined parameters being met - be that, for example, unexpected energy usage or perhaps unusual water flow indicating a burst pipe.
Data sensors and transmitters can be sited virtually anywhere to monitor system performance - from appliances to individual circuits on a distribution board to whole intake rooms, or any of these across multiple buildings or sites.
Technical director of :entertaining sustainability Tim Atkinson said, "We are thrilled to have partnered with Measure My Energy - the system is robust, smart, accurate, adaptable and scalable - all essential qualities for any energy monitoring platform. Anecdotally, energy savings of 10% annually can be made just through monitoring your own energy consumption, so payback should be swift."
Six-second sampling frequencies ensure extremely high-resolution information, helping to isolate issues and unknowns in a building's energy consumption with local detail not available through traditional half-hourly commercial meters.
Facilities managers with more than one site can access all readings across an estate, while local users see only local information. All data can be exported for further manipulation, or to use in other energy analysis systems such as sMeasure.
:entertaining sustainability can oversee the full specification, installation and commissioning process, which starts with a full site visit to discuss your needs. The metering solution can combine with any of :entertaining sustainability's other services, such as energy and sustainability auditing, or stand alone as a separate entity.
