WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

Assessing utility usage and wastage through Live Energy Metering

In an age of rising inflation, keeping track of expenses is more vital than ever. Property managers today are well-aware of the importance of assessing usage versus wastage when it comes to utilities like electricity and gas. Meanwhile, climate change and increasing environmental responsibility are helping drive the movement towards more efficient building systems, whether it is a new build or a retrofit.

“It has been a generation since we have seen inflation like we are experiencing today, and as a result, building and property managers are seeking every avenue to aggressively lower their operating costs,” said Kevin Lisso, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of EnerSavings, a leading energy solutions provider in Canada. “When cutting costs is the goal, controlling energy use is a good place to start. It has been estimated that older buildings without LED lighting and modern HVAC systems can waste 30 per cent of the energy they consume.”

According to Lisso, building managers often take on these expenses without the peace of mind that their improvements are actually making a difference. What’s more, they may be missing other opportunities for further savings by identifying how energy in their facility is actually being used. EnerSavings’ Live Energy Metering Tool and Program monitors and reports on a building’s energy use in real time. The tool provides a highly scalable, low-cost platform that gathers granular energy-consumption data to measure where energy is being used and verify whether it is energy that needs to be expended, or is being wasted.

“Property managers and facility executives cannot afford to guess when it comes to energy savings,” he said. “Live energy metering takes out the guesswork, simplifies the process and demystifies a building’s exorbitant energy use.”
