What is submetering ?  Energy – elec., gas, water, steam, Btu  Can provide energy usage data on:  A whole building  Common areas  A tenant’s space  A distribution panel  Individual circuits  A single piece of equipment (chiller, air handling provides a NUMBER and a PICTURE What’s our objective? Why submeter?  Because buildings have many tenants and a  To provide tenants with incentives to operate efficiently and thus reduce the building’s carbon footprint.  For LEED certification  to:  Accurately allocate the bill  Account for after - hours usage  Account for above - standard usage  Determine and allocate common area charges  For before and after measurement of energy projects (M & V) What’s new in submetering ?  data in a browser; no software needed  not just for elec.  EMS/BAS integration: that can “talk” IP, MS/ TP , LON, Modbus RTU , and Modbus TCP. Where are we going? Why submeter? Corporate sustainability – it’s not going away. Are your clients prepared?  120 / 208 - 240 / 277 Volt; 1 0r 2 wire to 200 amps  208 V or 480 V; 50~60 Hz; three phase  100 to 3200 amps  Digital display (kWh)  Optional: KW Demand Date & Time Stamped  Rugged JIC enclosure, NEMA 4X, or MMU  ANSI C12.16 / C12.20 certified  UL, CSA  Wireless option! Current Sensor vs. Current Transformer   No shorting blocks  1 - 2 hour install vs. 6 – 8 hours  Don’t have to schedule an outage  0 – 2 volt / milliamp vs. 5 amp & full voltage = no danger  500’ vs. 5’ Split - core design: no disconnect and reconnect Current Sensor Installation Save space with MMU ) 80 meters Phoenix Plaza engineer’s office Typical MMU Installation  “Sneaker Reads”: Walk up and physically read meter  Powerline carrier ? ? ? ? ?  : to EmonEnergy software  Web - Mon – browser, real - time, anywhere access  EMS / BMCS integration:  Modbus RTU  Modbus TCP    LON  Pulse output Amazing energy facts: Norway Number 3?

The Green Lease Don’t leave $$ on the table when you submeter Are you giving away chilled water? Identifying opportunities  Shared utilities?  Energy management – load profiling  How are utility costs allocated ?  “Above standard” usage – servers, cooling  Equipment condition monitoring  After hours usage?  Disputes with tenants over utilities?  Energy management requirements?  Interest in LEED Certification  Carbon footprint reporting  PUE for data centers Submetering and LEED LEED buildings using submetering Comcast Building, Philadelphia PA Tallest US LEED Building The Palazzo /Venetian, Las Vegas NV Largest green cert facility Scottsdale Firehouse, Scottsdale AZ Patagonia Distribution Center, Reno NV W Hotel/Condominiums, Atlanta GA Tustin Centre 1 st LEED Gold C & S in CA Ameren Building St. Louis MO Byron G.
