What is Submetering?
Energy management is a rapidly-growing practice among some of the world’s largest companies and energy providers. Whether it is out of effort to save money or save the environment, businesses across the globe are looking for ways to cut back on their energy consumption.
The best way to do this is through the use of power monitoring equipment, which can accurately track, display, and report this information. The newest advancement in the power monitoring industry is the use of submetering.
Submetering uses a series of inter-connected sensors to provide you with real-time energy consumption data for specific points within your system. This is commonly used by landlords and apartment complexes to bill their tenants, but it also has commercial uses. Companies can use submetering technology to track power consumption across different floors, departments, and machinery.
Submetering offers many benefits, such as:
The ability to pinpoint where your energy consumption is coming from
Identifying unnecessary power consumption, such as equipment running off-hours
Provides benchmarks for comparing energy consumption across multiple factories, stores, etc.
Double-check utility bill to make sure you aren’t being overcharged
Determine inefficiencies and create programs to save energy and money
