Efficient energy tracking for businesses

The first stage in the process is to measure consumption, identify what is normal and establish a baseline. This baseline becomes the reference point for all future energy consumption. Ideally meters will be installed on all Significant Energy Users SEU’s to help provide a further breakdown of where energy is being used. Electricity, Gas, Waste, Solar Energy and Water are all measured to give a complete picture of Energy Consumption and Carbon Footprint within a building.

The Energy Data is collected and transferred to secure Amazon AWS Servers in the cloud. From this Database we generate our clear precise graphics giving users full visualisation of energy consumption in their building. Graphs, Pie Charts and Reports can all be customised to suit the specific need of individual users, and this gives Acutrace clients the opportunity to design their front-end to meet their sustainability requirements.

When the data is visualised the user can then start to analyse where and when Energy is being used, and then ask questions. Where is the Energy being used? What time of day is Energy being used? Why is heating and cooling on so early or so late in the day? What proportion of my costs are Night and Day rates? Why am I using water at night when the building is vacant? Do I have water leaks or faulty valves and ballcocks? By analysing the data and reports the user will identify all SEUs and problem areas that need attention.
