PROBLEM…
• Only the largest buildings with extensive resources
monitor their energy in detail. It is expensive!
WE
HAVE RESOLVED THE COST BARRIER.
CIRCUITMETER SOLUTION
• A low cost and unique WebMeter
– Circuit breaker level monitoring
– Scales to any size building portfolio
– Computing intelligence
– Cloud-Based monitoring and analytics
– Simple to install
• Cost effective 24 x 7 energy auditor

FOUR WAYS TO USE THIS SYSTEM
SUB-METERING
OPERATIONS
AND ANALYTICS
MEASUREMENT
& VERIFICATION
CORPORATE
SUSTAINABILITY
SUB-METERING
• Cut metering cost by 90%
• Make properties more competitive
• Allow tenants access to their own data
– Apartments and Condos
• Drive down consumption 20-30%
• Meter previously unaffordable applications
– Commercial
• Enable moves of tenants without changes to meters and wiring.
• Drive down tenant consumption
– Corporate
• Accurately allocate energy costs to departments.
– Industrial
• Allocate energy costs to product lines
IMPROVE TENANT SATISFACTION
• Allow tenants to:
•
Avoid lighting maintenance calls
•
Access their own meters and reports.
•
Control their own costs.
•
See rankings versus others in the organization.
WAYS TO USE THIS SYSTEM
2. Operations and Analytics
– Identify energy waste
– Reduce peak demand
– Manage tenant energy consumption
– Prevent building drift with trend alerts
– Continuous commissioning
– Better manage equipment and motors
– Avoid downtime with malfunction alerts
WAYS TO USE THIS SYSTEM
3. Measurement and Verification
– Perform energy audits with real data
– Accurately predict proposed project impacts
– Verify financial savings from initiatives and
projects
– Utility bill consolidation and verification
WAYS TO USE THIS SYSTEM
4. Corporate Sustainability
– Measure sustainability results against goals
– Promote energy saving initiatives
– Compare performance of different assets

TYPICAL PAYBACKS ON METERING PROJECTS
CASE STUDY 1 *
•
Vornado Realty Trust introduced metering to a commercial tenant
– average energy use was 4,322,400 kWh/yr (400K sq. ft.)
– using the new consumption profiles, the tenant identified energy-saving
opportunities and saved:
• 18 percent consumption totalling $160,000 annually
• 8 percent demand, or 57 kW
• 266 metric tons of carbon equivalent annually
•
