Agenda
• Metering survey results
• 3 types of electrical meters explained
• Typical metering needs of:
– Health care facilities
– Education campuses
– Office buildings
• Advanced software for your advanced meter
• Q&A
Your Main Reasons for Looking at an Advanced
Hardware/Software Solution
Why meter your building?
• Window into building’s energy performance
• Make better operating decisions
• Reduce peak load and night time base loads
• Detect anomalies
Three Types of Electrical Meters
Electromechanical
(Analog)
Electronic
(Digital)
Smart
Meters
Electrical Meters: Electromechanical (Analog)
• Measure
consumption and
demand values
• Limited
communication
functionality (KYZ
relay)
Electrical Meters: Electronic (Digital)
• Measure and calculate
multiple power quality
factors
• Several communication
modes (for remote
monitoring)
• One-way
communication
Electrical Meters: Smart Meters
• Measure and calculate
multiple power quality
factors
• Two-way communication
between consumer and
central system
• Real-time power pricing
Electrical Meters: Summary
Electromechanical
• Only consumption and demand values
• Basic telemetry –Pulse outputs
Electronic
• Voltage, Current, Power factor, reactive power
• Several telemetry modes
• One-way communication
Smart
• Information recorded at 1 hour granularity or less
• 2-way communication
Advanced Metering in Health Care Facilities
Needs and characteristics:• Essential services must
remain reliable
• New equipment is
constantly being added
• Determining an accurate
energy baseline
Advanced Metering in Health Care Facilities
Value of advanced metering:• Identify when large equipment is
operating inefficiently
• Establish night-time energy
baseloads
• Find opportunities for more
efficient steam production
Advanced Metering on Campus
Needs and characteristics:• Large, complicated systems
• Different types of buildings
with different requirements
• High sustainability
expectations from students
• Reducing energy while
maintaining occupant
comfort
Advanced Metering on Campus
Value of advanced metering:• Greater public engagement
• Prioritize maintenance
backlog based on energy
efficiency benefits
• Report energy and
greenhouse gas reductions
to stakeholders
Advanced Metering in Office Buildings
Needs and characteristics• Limited number of large
equipment
• Energy is an asset to
manage
• Need high level building
performance over long
periods of time
Advanced Metering in Office Buildings
Value of advanced metering• Continuously identify and
detect anomalies
• Tenant engagement and
empowerment
The Landing: An Example of a Smart Building
• 200,000 square feet
• Mixed commercial tenants
• Electrical, water, gas
meters
• Bill tenants individually
