Leicester City Council<\/strong>\u00a0uses an intelligent metering system in\u00a0<\/span>over 300 buildings<\/strong>\u00a0which continuously monitors energy and water usage and relays consumption data via a flexible, low powered communication module to a computer with the aim of identifying wastage, inefficiency and opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 250 largest buildings are monitored closely with the use of an energy monitoring software and regular feedback to the users. 24 buildings with 190 energy meters are currently part of the automated energy monitoring which can already provide half-hourly consumption information.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Platform allows a\u00a0<\/span>continuous monitoring<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of the\u00a0<\/span>energy consumption<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of a large set of buildings. Building area and occupancy, energy resources (hourly and monthly data), Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) or facilities information are some of the data collected by the EDI_Net Platform. The advantages come from the continued\u00a0<\/span>use and accumulation of more and more data<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>that permits a better benchmarking and also the collection of EEM lets to evaluate its effectiveness in terms of savings, investments and ROI.<\/p>\n

The User General Dashboard or \u201cTable league<\/strong>\u201d gives a quickly read of all buildings introduced, allowing to indentify\u00a0<\/span>building effectiveness<\/strong>, or any deviation and correct them.<\/p>\n

First intended to be a repository where to store the Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) implemented in different buildings of an organization. So that facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of these measures and encourages the\u00a0<\/span>exchange of experiences<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>amongst the different users. In this sense the platform allows to select applied EEM, view the application results, as well as the application cost.<\/p>\n

Looking at each building card site, an overview of the buidling can be read with key figures of EEM investment and generated savings.<\/p>\n

Each building is constantly compared with himself based on its previous years data and to similar buildings in terms of building characteristics or any other classification like building typology or department. Thus, Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) are evaluated for the building itself but the generated data allows to build\u00a0EEM data base<\/strong>\u00a0with real data and Key Performance Indicators to suggest measures to implement in other buildings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
