Energy Savings Through Energy Savings Through MeteringMetering
Why meter?Why meter?
• “You cannot manage what you cannot measure”
• But you can reduce energy consumption without metering….!
• You cannot know how efficient plant:• Should be• Could be• Is

Quick wins…
• Chilling fighting the heating• Lighting and small power left on at
night• Building being conditioned at
night/weekends
10 – 20% improvement possible
Benchmarking and exceptions
• Feature of most energy databases• Requires historical or industry data to make
benchmarks• Dynamic benchmarking• DRIVING FACTORS:
– By nature of business• Property – energy/m2
• Manufacturing – energy/item made• Commercial – energy/turnover
– By nature of equipment• Air conditioning – energy/Degree day• Escalators – energy/m ascent
• leading to…
Cumulative Sum Analysis (CUSUM)
1. Establish a record 1. Establish a record of driving factor of driving factor against energy useagainst energy use
