Rising energy costs are typically the largest variable expense for commercial, industrial, institutional and multi-family facilities. Unfortunately, it's impossible to effectively manage energy consumption without knowing exactly when and where it's being used. Platinum Energy Group specializes in the installation and management of submetering systems. Submetering allows you to monitor energy usage for individual tenants, departments, pieces of equipment or other loads to account for their actual energy usage.
As a concise energy management tool, submetering offers an array of benefits to both building owners as well as their tenants by providing detailed energy data for maximum control over energy usage. Not only do tenants pay for their exact usage, they conserve to reduce costs. This maximized control leads to maximized savings.
For maximized performance, Platinum Energy Group offers Leviton Integrated Metering Systems. For over 17 years, Leviton has been a manufacturer of electric submeters for multi-family residential and commercial buildings. Leviton wireless smart meters, process sensors and wireless heating control systems have been saving between 20% and 40% of energy consumption while dramatically reducing carbon emissions.
Integration of multiple functions in one smart device allows:- Immediate cost savings and short payback
- Existing buildings can be retrofitted with virtually no downtime
- Significant cost savings for new construction projects
Sub-metering allows managers to use energy data for Measurement and Verification (M & V), cost allocation, end user accountability, trend analysis, budgeting, performance targeting for facilities and equipment, and benchmarking/baselines. Other drivers for sub metering include green building initiatives, demand response initiatives, and Time of Use (TOU) rate structure/billing. Sub metering is also a simple way to obtain the actual consumption data required to verify savings.
