Agenda

• Metering survey results

• 3 types of electrical meters explained

• Typical metering needs of:

– Health care facilities

– Education campuses

– Office buildings

• Advanced software for your advanced meter

• Q&A

Your Main Reasons for Looking at an Advanced

Hardware/Software Solution

Why meter your building?

• Window into building’s energy performance

• Make better operating decisions

• Reduce peak load and night time base loads

• Detect anomalies

Three Types of Electrical Meters

Electromechanical

(Analog)

Electronic

(Digital)

Smart

Meters

Electrical Meters: Electromechanical (Analog)

• Measure

consumption and

demand values

• Limited

communication

functionality (KYZ

relay)

Electrical Meters: Electronic (Digital)

• Measure and calculate

multiple power quality

factors

• Several communication

modes (for remote

monitoring)

• One-way

communication

Electrical Meters: Smart Meters

• Measure and calculate

multiple power quality

factors

• Two-way communication

between consumer and

central system

• Real-time power pricing

Electrical Meters: Summary

Electromechanical

• Only consumption and demand values

• Basic telemetry –Pulse outputs

Electronic

• Voltage, Current, Power factor, reactive power

• Several telemetry modes

• One-way communication

Smart

• Information recorded at 1 hour granularity or less

• 2-way communication

Advanced Metering in Health Care Facilities

Needs and characteristics:• Essential services must

remain reliable

• New equipment is

constantly being added

• Determining an accurate

energy baseline

Advanced Metering in Health Care Facilities

Value of advanced metering:• Identify when large equipment is

operating inefficiently

• Establish night-time energy

baseloads

• Find opportunities for more

efficient steam production

Advanced Metering on Campus

Needs and characteristics:• Large, complicated systems

• Different types of buildings

with different requirements

• High sustainability

expectations from students

• Reducing energy while

maintaining occupant

comfort

Advanced Metering on Campus

Value of advanced metering:• Greater public engagement

• Prioritize maintenance

backlog based on energy

efficiency benefits

• Report energy and

greenhouse gas reductions

to stakeholders

Advanced Metering in Office Buildings

Needs and characteristics• Limited number of large

equipment

• Energy is an asset to

manage

• Need high level building

performance over long

periods of time

Advanced Metering in Office Buildings

Value of advanced metering• Continuously identify and

detect anomalies

• Tenant engagement and

empowerment

The Landing: An Example of a Smart Building

• 200,000 square feet

• Mixed commercial tenants

• Electrical, water, gas

meters

• Bill tenants individually
