How can multifunction metering help me reduce my energy costs?

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates typical commercial buildings waste 20% of the energy they consume. Poorly performing buildings are very costly, using up to seven times more energy than highly energy efficient buildings. Using multifunction meters saves you money in multiple ways. Analyzing energy usage enterprise wide lets you identify facility energy inefficiencies and improving inefficient circuits and facilities results in lowered energy costs. You can also save up to 18-30% of total electrical consumption annually with accurate submetering. Billing tenants for their actual energy usage promotes tenant energy conservation. And predicted peak demand alerts allow you to act before costly charges are incurred.

How can multifunction metering help to make my buildings more sustainable?

Identifying and improving inefficient energy usage in enterprise facilities lets you conserve energy. With EIG’s multifunction meters and EnergyPQA.com® AI driven energy management system, you can view and improve carbon footprint for all your facilities and for the enterprise. Reports and usage comparisons let you measure the success of your sustainability initiatives.

Can multifunction metering improve my power quality and reduce downtime?

Studies show that 50% of mission critical power outages are due to power quality issues and that 80% of these issues originate within facilities. The Shark® 200/250 multifunction meters offer waveform recording, harmonics measurement, and limit alarms for analyzing power quality and taking steps to improve problems before they escalate. The EnergyPQA.com® system’s C-Suite reporting identifies facilities and circuits that are at high risk for power quality events so that remedial action can be taken. The system also displays multiple power quality dashboards for your facilities and can generate emailed alarms on power quality events. In this way, multifunction metering lets you take action to avoid equipment damage or costly power outages.
