| It is widely accepted that by adding a meter to a supply previously unmetered, consumption can be reduced by as much as 30 percent. This not only saves money for the consumer, but also helps reduce the impact that our modern lifestyles are having on the natural environment from harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
Metering is essential but it is equally
important that consumers also have adequate control over
their usage,and that they are educated in ways in which they can avoid wasting valuable resources – this forms an important part of our daily business.
Saving energy through metering, maintenance and control
In order to get the most relevant and accurate data, owners of larger sites are required to not only monitor their incoming utilities with primary meters, but install secondary sub-metering at key areas across their site.
This ensures that they can measure consumption from, for example, individual operating divisions, cost centres, departments or major buildings and therefore target energy saving measures to help reduce their overall consumption and obtain accurate cost centre apportionment. |
