Good power quality is essential to the reliability of any electrical system. Power quality problems can result in damage to equipment, downtime, and lost productivity and revenue. EIG’s advanced and highly accurate meters and submeters let your clients monitor power quality for specific loads or parts of the building. EIG meters let the user set up alarms for multiple conditions – drops in voltage, current faults, change in phase angles, change in I/O state, flicker, etc., and send emails on alarm to multiple users. Your clients can also monitor in-rush current for large pieces of equipment, to be proactive in equipment repair or replacement, avoiding downtime. In addition, non-linear loads in buildings cause harmonics, interharmonics, and flicker, all of which can have a detrimental effect on power quality. EIG’s meters and submeters let your clients view and analyze all these power quality components. They can also provide detailed reports showing if power quality is within normative standards.

EIG’s energy management software applications include configuration, logging, and polling software; meter management software; HMI SCADA solution; cloud-based AI driven energy management system; and billing and reporting software. Many of the EIG meters offer web browser-based viewing of metered and logged data. EIG meters have multiple communication ports and support multiple open protocols to seamlessly integrate with existing energy management applications.

The U.S. Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) has issued energy savings guidelines that include the implementation of submetering with energy tracking and reporting, and the formalization of energy goals and processes. Every commercial building owner, every tenant, and tenants with multiple floors or significant square footage, must be engaged to take advantage of energy management and energy efficiency initiatives. Installing EIG’s meters, submeters, and metering and billing software is one of the most cost-effective ways to implement an energy reduction program. Installing submeters is also a smart way to fight competition from other building owners. Commercial building owners who do not take advantage of the simple use of submetering run the risk of failing to keep the best of tenants. Armed with the knowledge they get from EIG’s meters and submeters, energy and facility managers can help tenants make decisions that will realize energy savings for everyone.
