Introduction
The HMIPQA+™ SCADA solution enables building managers to:
- View real time usage in a centralized location to gain control over all aspects of a facility’s energy use and power quality
- Perform customized reporting of critical energy management and power quality issues
- Perform detailed root-cause analysis of power quality events
- Identify inefficiencies and prioritize areas for energy savings opportunities
The HMIPQA+™ solution also enables facility managers to track usage for commodities other than energy. It supports multiple third party measurement equipment and protocols. It offers a one-stop solution for managing a commercial building’s resource consumption.
Combine Advanced PQ Metering and Implement Customizable SCADA to Optimize Energy Usage
Energy is one of a commercial building’s biggest expenses. Managing energy usage is therefore an important aspect of reducing costs and maximizing profits. Additionally, maintaining high power quality is essential for commercial building owners, since poor power quality can negatively impact tenant satisfaction. In a competitive industry, ensuring customer’s needs are met is essential to the bottom line.
EIG’s advanced power quality meters are certified to the highest international PQ metering standards. They measure and can report on all aspects of your building’s power quality. In addition to providing alarms on PQ events and out of limit conditions, they enable post-event analysis that identifies the source of PQ events. If the event originated with the utility, this analysis helps to negotiate reimbursement from the utility.
When EIG’s PQ meters are used with the HMIPQA+™ SCADA solution, commercial building managers are able to harness the data from the meters and other third party devices to manage and optimize their total energy usage. They can also respond quickly to limit alarms from the meters so that problems do not escalate and cause power outages or damage to building electrical equipment.
Drive Tenant Conservation Behavior and Easily Manage Tenant Billing
One of the best methods of controlling commercial building energy usage and reducing costs is submetering. Submetering alone has been shown to result in energy savings of up to 18%. By installing EIG’s high accuracy revenue meters in tenant offices and common areas, commercial building owners are able to accurately assess the energy used in different parts of the building. They can then bill tenants for their actual energy usage, rather than square footage billing, using EIG’s EnergyReporterPQA™ billing and reporting application. Not only is this a fairer way to allocate costs, it has the effect of giving tenants ownership of their electrical usage. When they see how much energy they are using and the cost of it, they are motivated to implement energy savings programs. This helps to reduce the total energy usage of the building. And by submetering common areas, building owners can also identify opportunities for energy savings, e.g., installing smart lighting that automatically turns off when no one is in a common area, such as a lobby.
Identify Wasteful Facilities and Circuits to Improve Energy Efficiency
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates typical commercial buildings waste 20% of energy consumed. Poorly performing buildings use up to seven times more energy than highly energy efficient buildings. Increasing energy efficiency is not only beneficial for a building’s bottom line but it also helps to reduce a facility’s carbon footprint.
EnergyPQA.com® transforms traditional energy management by using data from EIG’s power and energy meters to identify the most energy wasteful facilities and circuits to maximize energy efficiency improvements.
Since energy efficient buildings can consume up to 85% less power, identifying poorly performing facilities and circuits is essential to reducing energy use and costs.
- Automatically grade facilities and circuits for energy efficiency using smart analytics.
- Focus on facility circuits most in need of improvement.

Use Artificial Intelligence to Predict Energy Usage into the Future
Reduce Costs with AI-based Predictions
The EnergyPQA.com® energy management system’s AI-based energy predictions provide insights into building energy trends into the future. By looking at future predictions, a facility manager can be proactive to make sure that energy reduction programs will be successful. The system uses historical energy readings and future weather forecasts to provide usage and demand before they occur, at all metered points.
- Accurately predict demand and energy usage into the future with advanced AI and machine learning.
- Take action on peak demand predictions in advance of penalty.
- View energy dashboards that detail energy usage and demand across facility areas and provide insightful usage analysis.
The system emails notifications of new predicted peak demand up to three days in advance. Since demand charges can be as high as 50% of a facility’s actual energy bill, this information can yield significant savings. Use the EnergyPQA.com® energy management system’s predictive energy usage dashboards to judge the success of demand mitigation efforts.
Support for Building Management Systems
EIG meters are designed with multiple communication options to integrate seamlessly with existing commercial building automation systems. The Shark® 100B meter offers native BACnet/IP communication and the Shark® 50B meter offers BACnet MS/TP communication. The ST40 compact submeter also has a BACnet/IP communication option.
EIG’s BACnet communicating meters have multiple embedded BACnet objects to communicate energy data and a web interface so you can track your buildings’ energy usage from anywhere in the world. EIG also offers a communication converter that provides BACnet and other building management system protocols to additional EIG power and energy meters. The BACnet communicating meters are the ideal choice for LEED certification and other smart and green building initiatives.
