Technology Overview

I've put the technological aspects of some of the tracking software into a table.
It's information taken from this website:
http://www.energytracking.com/overview.htm

Electric Metering: Our electric metering product is a web enabled meter that can be used for single phase or three phase applications and provides demand, consumption, load profile and time of use (TOU) data. It is a 4-quadrant meter also capable of calculating energy imported and energy exported.


Pulse Metering: Our pulse metering product (WEPM) is designed to count pulses from existing meters such as gas, steam, water, etc. It has broad applications and can be used in any environment where a network enabled logging device is required. It is a multi-channel pulse input data logger.

Communications: The communication media for all our products is via tcp/ip. They are broad-band ready and can be configured for DHCP or fixed IP. In addition, they have an embedded web server, can send emails and transfer data using ftp or SOAP Web Service client. These features enable low cost, real time access for applications such as submetering and remote meter reading.  

Software: Using web servers integrated into our equipment, the technical information is collated and displayed via our user-friendly interface.  This is online in the form of our website log-in page or as an app, making the information instantly accessible from a mobile device.  Past energy tracking software has not been collated in a format that is readily accessible to clients.  However our unique software processes the data taken from your building and displays it in a personal online account in the form of coherant graphs and charts. 


Upgrade Capability: All our products are field upgradeable. The ability to upgrade them reduces overall ownership costs and provides a means to install newer releases of firmware.


Benefits:
  • Instant access to building performance information.  With our additional 2 year 'energy guarantee' support system you can choose for us to access your account and offer professional advice on how to get the best use of your building and maximise your savings. This results in better management of the total energy usage.

  • In more detail, our technology displays the details about the amount and timing of your energy use, so you can adjust accordingly and save money.

  • Advanced meter data shows the savings you are accumulating as a result of choosing SAVI architecture.
  • For 2 years following the handover date, we will identify and implement operational strategies to control your energy output and reduce energy waste.  Following that you still have access to your online account and can continue to monitor your building.
  • We measure and verify anticipated energy savings from energy efficiency modifications.

  • Our app will notify you of anomalies in electric consumption. For example, a large nighttime increase may indicate that equipment is running unnecessarily.

  • Identify and assess on a real time basis the fiscal impact of the energy consumption.

  • Advanced notification via our app/online website of a higher peak demand being set.

  • Instantaneous real time access to measurement and metered data via the Internet or our app.

  1. That sounds really good. I think the last part is probably the best as it summarises what we do best. Were you thinking this would just go on the website or both panels and website?

  2. Not sure really its just information I have took off another site and tweaked it for our proposal. Obviously it will probably need a bit more tweaking before it's displayed anywhere in its final format but the content is there.
