Validating Energy Efficiency is Imperative to Carbon Reduction
Validating Energy Efficiency
Being forewarned about efficiencies and being able to physically see savings is a huge benefit but how can business do this manually?
The short answer is they can’t!
Ok, maybe they can, but time and money will be wasted if too much human resource goes into this and validating energy efficiency.
The opportunity for time and energy and money saving lies in technology. This is where our EaaSi platform comes in. With EaaSi customers can breakdown their energy spend to target efficiencies and savings.
The key to measuring any output, such as lighting or heating consumption, is to have the best data possible to start with. EaaSi automatically collects mains meter data along with validating energy spend with no human interaction. The customer has the perfect platform to then introduce further data points knowing any sub meter additions can be costed to the customers billing tariffing and offset against their main meter data.
What does EaaSi do?
EaaSi allows the creation of projects to collect the sub meter data and then validate it against the main meter consumption and spend, thus giving the customer clear accurate costs to analysis the data output.
The beauty of this means the customer has an accurate base to measure the existing data output (for example lighting) and its current costs to then compare a suggested new LED or heating solution and what return on investment will be provided.
Once the new solution has been put in place, the customer can then compare their ROI project with the actual data for performance measurement.
What does EaaSi do?
- automatically pulls together end-to-end utility data into a single place, removing the need for human intervention and massively reducing resource requirements for contract management. A HUGE win for business.
- interfaces with accounting packages such as SAP, Sage and major ERP systems. This gives finance departments immediate visibility on energy spend, billing cycles and provides fully automated, wholly transparent bill validation. Another WIN for business.
- creates a digital filing cabinet for all utility data and contract information. It links into supplier’s systems, automatically requests bills and uses machine learning to fill in any gaps.
