Reducing unnecessary waste is a good way to save money in addition to energy, and by implementing energy saving measures in addition to automated systems, businesses can save money each in addition to every year… For six long years, wasted energy has been a concern affecting my small business, and when I learned more about automated solutions, I was intrigued by the benefits of an energy monitoring system, however energy monitoring systems labor in real time to monitor in addition to 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 labor on ways to save money in addition to energy… After four months of energy monitoring, it was simple to see the bulk of my wasted energy was happening on the fourth shift; Most of the lights in the wareloft were all on the same switch! One flip of the switch meant turning on the power in the whole building, instead of in the small part where my fourth shift crew was working. The energy monitoring system helped identify this problem. After that, I realized that lighting controls could help as well, and now the lights in addition to rooms are all on separate controls. When the workers are in section A, the lights detect motion in addition to automatically come on. They do not turn on in the whole building which is currently saving my business about 15% on our yearly utility costs. The current integrated controls are going to help me build in addition to grow my business.
