Monitoring & Control. Engineered
Real-Time On-Line Measurements
Did you know that 4 out of 5 commercial or industrial customers are over billed by the utility at some point? Using Accurate High Resolution Measurements we can now identify billing discrepancies to reduce billing. It also permits us to analyze and evaluate tariffs to Optimize tariff schedule lowering billing cost to a better tariff schedule.
The measurements of your systems are taken using a revenue grade metering system in one minute increments to help control & reduce costs.
Reduce cost by Monitoring those Measurements
This is where the rubber meets the road... we can provide ALERTS in the form of text or email messages when certain conditions exist. For example, it's on everyone's list to reduce. Peak Demand charges. We can limit peak demand reducing peak demand charges. Our customers were surprised at the amount of energy used after-hours or weekends when equipment was left running. We can identify off-hour load use and reduce demand charges. Further, understanding the load profile permits us to identify load shifting and energy savings opportunities to further reduce cost.
These are only a few of the many ways where monitoring helps reduce energy cost, and can go into more depth in a meeting should you wish. This type of service can be provided for single or multiple facilities and programmed for asset management portfolio viewing. Our clients tell us that without this type of monitoring they did not know how they really used energy, and didn't know where to save cost. Energy monitoring cost is about 1-2% of the monthly energy cost but can immediately save 3-5% with payback less than a year, and with the addition of Helio Energy Solutions energy analysis services can save much more.
Efficiency Monitoring
Key equipment can be monitored for electrical load and compared against preset trigger levels. When abnormal energy use is identified, notification is sent to the facility operator to investigate and correct, saving weeks or months of energy robbing time.
Load Monitoring and Control
Facility energy use at metering points can be monitored for peak demand. When loads approach predetermined levels controls begin to shed lighting, HVAC or motor energy use minimizing utility demand charges.
Load Shedding for Demand Response
Significant rate reduction is available for energy users who can drop their energy usage with day-before or day-of notification. The logistics of running around to shut down equipment with one hour notification can be daunting. We make it simple and handle the logistics with ease. Automated control systems receive the notification directly from the utility provider and reduce energy usage to predetermined levels resulting in significant savings for you.
Energy Use Awareness
Often, those who use the energy are not aware of its use and cost. We can provide LCD screen presentation of real time energy use, energy generation, energy demand and relative effects on the environment. People determined to make a difference in their energy consumption can be a powerful force.
