Why measurement is crucial to energy management.

If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it

The old adage, you can’t manage what you don’t measure is perfect for energy management. Any business looking to manage their energy consumption better must start with measurement.  In order to effectively manage their energy use and eliminate energy waste, they will need to understand exactly when, where and how they are consuming energy. Once they have this understanding they can implement an energy management strategy that will bring down their energy costs and carbon emissions.

The importance of measurement

Without knowing when, where and how you consume energy you won’t be able to build a strategy for improving the energy efficiency of your operation. Most businesses know how much energy is coming into their buildings but a high percentage don’t know how that energy is then used across their site.

We recently worked with an organisation that was spending hundreds of thousands of pounds a year on lighting but had no idea. By installing our MY ZeERO solution we were able to show them the impact their lighting system was having on their energy consumption and how installing a new LED lighting system could significantly reduce their energy bill.

Measurement is not just important for highlighting where there are opportunities to eliminate energy waste, it also help to validate the investment in energy efficiency solutions, whether they are behavioural changes or technology solutions such as an upgraded BMS or LED lighting.

What is MY ZeERO?

MY ZeERO is our energy measurement platform that delivers data at a circuit level, giving your business a granular level view of your energy consumption. This data will help you spot energy waste in your operation and allow you to make data-backed decisions on energy efficiency solutions or operational changes. MY ZeERO can be quickly deployed at scale and is provided via a subscription service, meaning that there no requirement for upfront investment.

Would MY ZeERO work for me?

MY ZeERO is suitable for all organisations, no matter the size or sector you are in. If you don’t know how you are using the energy you buy then MY ZeERO can help you visualise your energy consumption and give you power to make positive changes to your business. We have  seen clients make substantial energy reductions by managing their energy with MY ZeERO. From Marchwood Power who reduced their energy consumption by 58% to Ashford Borough Council who reduced their energy by 37%, MY ZeERO is the energy measurement solution your business needs.
