Energy submetering — using IP-connected sensors and meters to fine-tune your energy management data – is rapidly becoming a standard in Residential and Commercial buildings. It gives management and tenants visibility to current consumption. Savings are achieved through simple no-cost, behavior changes, such as turning off unneeded equipment. Submetering highlights that fact that these systems were running when they need not be. Submeters are physical metering devices that monitor electricity, gas, water, steam and other utilities. Submeters mirror this data collection for companies that install them. Common applications monitor electricity usage and data are sent, typically every 15 minutes, to energy management software (sometimes through the building management system) for analysis. Using the analytic capability of the software, external consultants, vendors, on-staff personnel, or some combination identify savings opportunities. As a leader in Green Energy technology, InfiniSys has been recommending Submetering for over a decade. It’s important to choose the right system, whether wired or wireless, for your application.
