Data Management

"You can't manage or save
  what you don't measure"

Energy consumption needs to be measured, monitored and controlled in order for efficiency savings to be achieved. All too often energy efficiency is compromised because of:

  • Inadequate measurement and monitoring of use.
  • Poor interpretation and presentation of data.
  • No correlation with reliable variables.
  • Old practices that are never challenged.
  • Lack of leadership and/or time to control policy & procedures.

Monitoring & Targeting

In their "Advanced metering for SMEs" report, the Carbon Trust states

"...using advanced metering can identify an average of 12% carbon savings and implement an average of 5% carbon savings."

This is confirmation, in fact an underestimation, of what we have found in practice in many businesses, where energy has historically tended to be a lower priority than core site activities, such as production.

However, the current pressures on business for minimising overheads and for environmental reasons has raised energy to a new level of priority that can no longer be ignored.

Good data management is fundamental to achieving these aims and Quantum Energy Limited is ideally placed and resourced to provide this valuable service.

Experience has shown that savings of over 10% can be achieved through active energy management, not only by confirming the validity of previous actions, but also whether such actions, including possible investment, continue to produce the anticipated savings long-term.

M&T systems are the cornerstone of proficient energy management techniques, allowing companies to target resource not just in terms of time but also financial investment. M&T systems provide direction, control and justification.

For our Wholesale Procurement customers, this basic reporting mechanism is part of our integrated "Value Added" service.
