Intelligent Energy Monitoring & Optimization

Energy Monitoring provides real-time visibility into your facility’s energy consumption beyond what your utility bill shows. The system uses wireless sensors installed on your electrical infrastructure, along with meters for gas and water, to track exactly where energy is being consumed throughout your facility. You can monitor everything from your main electrical service down to individual pieces of equipment, giving you minute-by-minute data on consumption patterns, costs, and equipment performance.

We monitor what we call “WAGES” – Water, Air, Gas, Electric, and Steam. The system brings all utility data into one consolidated dashboard so you can see your complete energy picture in real time. Most customers start with electricity at the main level and expand from there based on their priorities.

Most customers see a 10-15% reduction in utility costs through behavioral changes and operational improvements identified by the system. This typically translates to a 1-3 year payback period. For example, one customer discovered a compressor running 24/7 when their facility only operated two shifts, saving $10,000 annually just from that one insight. The ROI comes from identifying wasted energy, optimizing demand charges, and preventing costly equipment failures through predictive maintenance.

Installation time varies based on scope. A main-level installation with sub-mains can often be completed in one day or less. More comprehensive installations monitoring dozens of circuits might take 2-4 days. The wireless nature of our sensors makes installation much faster than traditional wired systems.

The monitoring sensors (up to 225 amps) transmit about 25-30 feet to the data bridge. The metering sensors (power meters) can transmit 100-150 feet. We strategically place data bridges in electrical rooms to capture all sensors within range. If you have multiple electrical rooms or buildings, we simply add additional bridges.

You access all data through a cloud-based dashboard called Power Radar. You can log in from anywhere with an internet connection using any device. The system provides unlimited user accounts, so your entire team can have access with customized permissions based on their role.

The most helpful information is single-line electrical drawings showing your electrical infrastructure. If you don’t have those, we can work with basic information: voltage, number of phases, and amperage ratings for the equipment or panels you want to monitor. For gas and water, we need to know if you have existing meters and whether they have pulse outputs.

While we can’t guarantee specific savings like we can with LED lighting, we can provide case studies showing typical results (10-15% utility cost reduction), benchmark your facility’s energy usage intensity against industry peers, and conduct an on-site audit to identify likely opportunities. Many customers also justify the investment based on compliance requirements, ESG reporting needs, or the operational insights needed to support automation and expansion plans. The system often pays for itself through behavioral changes alone – like discovering equipment running when it shouldn’t be.
