Submeters provide key energy data that allows shopping mall owners, property owners, facility engineers and financial managers to identify areas within the shopping mall that are energy inefficient and need improvement. Areas often noted to be inefficient are common areas, such as entry ways and public restrooms; HVAC systems; tenants with high electric consumption; food courts; and more. This inefficiency is very costly; in fact, poor performing buildings can use up to seven times the energy of the highest energy efficient buildings for the same exact use.

EIG’s submeters let you identify energy used by specific loads or individual tenants. And EIG’s EnergyPQA.com™ Energy Management Cloud solution provides energy analytics and predictions, reducing costs and improving power system reliability. It surpasses traditional Energy Management systems by adding Energy prediction engines and deep insights into power quality.

For several years, 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 shopping mall owner and tenant 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 management program. Installing submeters is also a smart way to fight competition from other shopping malls. Shopping mall 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 you get from EIG’s meters and submeters, energy and facility managers are able to help tenants make decisions that will realize energy savings for everyone.
