Energy Monitoring

Cost Savings

Encourages sourcing from suppliers with eco-friendly practices, reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions.

• Energy monitoring identifies: 
  • Peak usage times that can be optimised to avoid higher tariffs.
  • Energy wastage from equipment running unnecessarily or inefficiently.
  • Areas to implement energy-saving measures such as lighting controls or equipment upgrades.

Real-Time Data and Insights

Energy monitoring provides real-time visibility into energy usage across the facility.

• This allows you to:: 
  • Track energy consumption patterns.
  • Identify sudden spikes or drops in energy usage.
  • Detect anomalies such as faulty equipment drawing excessive power.

Sustainability and Carbon Reduction

Monitoring energy usage helps businesses achieve sustainability goals by:

• Reducing carbon footprint through optimized energy use.
• Supporting compliance with net-zero targets and environmental regulations.
• Enhancing corporate social responsibility (CSR) by demonstrating commitment to reducing energy waste.

Equipment Performance and Maintenance

Energy monitoring systems can help track the performance of equipment and prevent breakdowns by identifying:Reducing carbon footprint through optimized energy use.

• Inefficient or malfunctioning equipment.
• Equipment that is consuming more energy than expected due to wear and tear.

Data-Driven Decision-Making

Energy monitoring provides actionable insights for better decision-making:

• Benchmarking energy use across different sites or departments.
• Setting targets for energy reduction.
• Evaluating the impact of energy-saving initiatives (e.g. LED lighting or voltage optimisation).

Compliance with Regulations

Many industries are required to monitor and report their energy usage to comply with government regulations and energy standards.

• An energy monitoring system helps businesses:
  • Ensure compliance with Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) or ISO 50001.
  • Avoid fines and penalties for non-compliance.

Improved Facility Management

For large or multi-site operations, energy monitoring enables centralised energy management across multiple locations.

• Facility managers can:
  • Identify high-energy-consuming sites and prioritise improvements.
  • Remotely monitor energy usage without being physically on-site.
  • Optimise energy usage schedules (e.g. staggered equipment start-up times).

Supports Energy Reduction Projects

Energy monitoring is essential for energy reduction initiatives, such as:

• LED lighting installations.
• Voltage optimization systems.
• EV charging stations.
• Remote metering.

It provides baseline data to measure the effectiveness of these projects and helps identify additional areas for improvement.

Employee Awareness and Engagement

Energy monitoring can also help to promote a culture of energy awareness within an organisation.

• Displaying energy usage data in public areas or dashboards can encourage employees to:
  • Turn off equipment when not in use.
  • Adopt energy-saving habits.
  • Participate in energy efficiency initiatives.
