Reducing unnecessary waste is a wonderful way to save money as well as energy, and by implementing energy saving measures as well as automated systems, dealers can save money each as well as every year, and for six long years, wasted energy has been a problem affecting my small business.
When I learned more about automated solutions, I was intrigued by the benefits of an energy monitoring system, energy monitoring systems work in real time to monitor as well as manage energy consumption, these systems have integrated controls that allow the business owner to see trends in the energy usage.
These trends can make it easier to identify areas where energy is wasted. When you can identify these areas, you can work on ways to save money as well as energy… After four months of energy monitoring, it was self-explanatory to see the bulk of my wasted energy was happening on the third shift, but most of the lights in the warehouse were all on the same switch, however one flip of the switch meant turning on the power in the whole building, instead of in the small section where my third shift crew was toiling. The energy monitoring system helped identify this problem. After that, I realized that lighting controls could help as well, and now the lights as well as rooms are all on separate controls. When the workers are in section A, the lights detect motion as well as automatically come on. They do not turn on in the whole building which is currently saving my business about 15% on our biweekly utility costs. The new integrated controls are going to help me build as well as grow my business.
