IQ Energy Monitoring
Monitor Reduce Save
As energy costs play and increasingly
important role when it comes to the bottom
line, ongoing energy reduction efforts are
vital if businesses are to remain competitive

Energy costs are usually in the range of
1-2% of total costs for small and
medium sized companies.

When companies start to manage energy
reductions of up to 20% or more
in energy bills by simple good houskeeping
measures alone can be achieved

As recommended by Sustainable Energy Ireland, an energy management plan will take the following steps:
Commit – Senior Management to commit to implementing an Energy Policy/Plan
Identify – undertake and overview of energy consumption – look at EPI’s
Plan – Set objectives and targets/set Program plan/Allocate Resources
Take action – Implement Plan/Promote Energy Efficiency/Train Personnel
Review –Continuously measure and monitor energy performance and check against
targets set-/ Management to periodically review Energy policy

• Carbon Footprint can be measured
• Trends can be analysed over a period of time
• Energy savings/carbon emissions/BER ratings can be publically displayed if desired
Advantages
Setting up Energy Monitoring
Consultation
• Review existing energy consumption
• Identify difficulties and areas of highest consumption
• Gather current consumption bills and analyse
• Set goals and objectives for introducing Energy Monitoring
Setting up Energy Monitoring
Site Survey
• Review distribution boards
• Identify the quantity and nature of sources/loads to be monitored
• Identify cabling required to fit meters
Site Report
• A detailed report following the site survey would be provided to include
o Suggestions for immediate energy saving
o Suggestions for equipment that can also be installed to further reduce savings, eg: Timeclocks/ PIR control for lighting/night rate tariff
