Elcomponent The UK's Leading MeterRing System Providers Install their 500th Automatic Energy Monitoring and Targeting System
The brief
Elcomponent has been a major force in the supply and installation of Automatic Sub-MeterRing Systems for many years and has just installed their 500th automatic energy monitoring and targeting system. The milestone was reached with a multi-utility package provided for the West End offices of leading consulting engineers.
Providing a comprehensive energy analysis solution..
Elcomponent has designed and installed both hardware and software to allow a floor-by-floor breakdown of all major energy loads including heating, lighting, and A/C plant. The company is at the leading edge of sustainable design for the built environment, and naturally, there own energy monitoring and carbon efficiency is a top priority.
Elcomponent has a great deal of experience in providing retrofit energy monitoring solutions for submetering, but according to their lead installer Rai Gaidys, the job was a challenging one...
"The client's specification was clear, but implementing it meant we had to bring a large number of small loads together to provide the required data. Fortunately, our latest meter designs provide so much additional flexibility we could deliver the system 'as required' within budget and with no supply interruptions".
This new energy meter technology employs much smaller and lighter current transformers which are not only easier to fit into tight spaces, they also use much lighter gauge cables and can be connected in multiple without any additional bulky 'summation' hardware - just one of the reasons why Elcomponent continue to offer the best performance and best value in automatic sub-metering systems for energy analysis.
Although the 500th installation was in a commercial building, the company has recently signed off new automatic energy monitoring systems installations in the Higher Education sector at a university in London, a client in the manufacturing sector, and a large public sector client in South Wales.
