The Energy Guardian process

Energy Guardian is the easy way for businesses and organisations to make energy savings. It is a simple, full-service, smart metering solution that can be installed in less than a day, with no disruption to operations.

Energy Guardian will give you a breakdown of where and when your site is using energy, looking at heating, ventilation and lighting systems, plus specialist equipment and individual sockets.

Energy Data Collection

Our smart meters collect real-time power usage information, and relay this data wirelessly to our Energy Manager analysis software. You can view your energy data online at any time and also use Energy Manager to control the on/off switching of certain equipment.

Reporting

Our energy consultants will access your data remotely, to summarise and interpret the findings for you in regular reports and identify the steps you can take to become more energy efficient. On an ongoing basis, your reports will show where you are making progress towards energy-saving targets and where you could make further improvements: cost-effective ways to lower your energy bills.

Smart Building Service

Our Energy Consultants will recommend simple steps that you can take to improve your site's energy efficiency, such as:

• Automate the switching off of some equipment - for example, outside normal working hours, so that devices cannot accidentally be left on

• Includes full assessment of your electrical equipment, including the lighting and air conditioning, so that we can perform benchmarking studies for you and identify where improvements can be made
• Groups and categories can be set up and named according to your preferences - e.g. so you can see at a glance how your energy is being used by different floors or by types of equipment such as the printers
• We configure network access and data feeds for you, so that you can access our easy-to-use reporting system from your PC as soon as the installation is complete.
