Metering and monitoring systems are a cost-effective way for NSW businesses to manage and reduce their energy use.
Energy Allies’ systems use a mix of software and hardware to collect and analyse data about energy performance. This data can then be utilised to assist businesses in saving energy and cutting costs. A well-planned and tailored metering and monitoring system can save your business energy and money. Typical energy savings our customers experience can range from 5% to 15%.
Metering and monitoring systems can help your business by:
- identifying simple, low-cost improvements to your systems and processes
- identifying energy-saving opportunities that build the business case for equipment upgrades
- improving your energy management and reducing site operating costs
- granting access to Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) and Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) incentives, where some activities require a minimum level of metering to already be in place
- getting a NABERS energy rating for your business/building.
