This presentation visualizes a report by Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, USA. Their report aims to identify what elements make for success deployments of Energy Information & Monitoring Systems (E.I.S). The goal of PowaIQ from Envisij is to provide the tools and services for the successful deployment of Energy Information Systems.

1. Energy Information Systems.
How to successfully deploy & save energy with them.

2. This presentation visualizes a report by
Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, USA. The report aims to identify
the differences between successful and failed deployments of
Energy Information Systems.

3. Energy Information Systems, (E.I.S)
how do they “plug” together

4. Why
monitor
your
Energy
Use?
Detect avoidable energy use that might otherwise remain hidden.
Flag up anomalies in consumption e.g. malfunctioning equipment,
air or water leaks, or lights switched on overnight.
Reduce Energy
Costs
Supporting management strategies e.g. control costs,
environmental impacts & meet the requirements of
environmental/energy system standards e.g. ISO14001, ESOS etc.
Compliance
Target setting, e.g. to reduce waste per KPI by 5 % per year.
Calculate energy and carbon targets rationally to reflect achievable
performance – often, targets are set without consideration of
practical application or achievability.
Manage
Targets
To support investment appraisal/decisions for equipment
upgrades & retrofits. Project verification to ensure that anticipated
savings e.g. from a lighting upgrade project have been achieved.
Decision
Making
Provide feedback for staff awareness & input, improve budget
setting & undertake benchmarking.
Staff
Involvement

5. Saves, or
leads the
savings of
upto 25%
of your
energy
bills
Verification
Maximise energy
efficiency project ROI
by using historical
data/costs as baseline
Report on actual vs.
projected ROI
Identify variances to ROI
projections by data-
driven reporting
Make sure that future ROI
plans use actual
“before” data to
maximise savings.
Protect
retrofit
savings &
generation
income
• Alerts on retrofit
equipment outages
• Alerts when generation
unexpectedly
degrades
• Alerts on budgeted
baseline drift
• Use Alerts to instantly
inform you when your
investments stop
working, earning or
saving.
Manage
Demand
• Shift demand from
Peak Tariff times
• Select the best
Demand Reduction
scheme to suit
• Optimise on-site
generation to reduce
export
• Load shed non-
essential loads during
peak times
Identify
energy
waste
• Are your Warehouse or
Office Lights on out of
workhours/weekends?
• Are there Compressor
system leaks?
• Is your HVAC set-up
inefficiently?
• Is the Office equipment
on 24 x 7?
ROI = SOI (Savings frOm Investment)

6. E.I.S
enables
site
energy
savings
of upto
25%
Greater insights into energy performance
Identification, justification (ROI) & tracking of energy improvements
Persistent protection of energy savings over time
Constant use of best practices:
- Load profiling/baselining
- Anomaly detection
- Peak/Time of Use (TOU) demand reduction

7. Depth
… of energy monitoring
Engagement
…. how often E.I.S is used
Projects
… initiated and managed
key E.I.S best practices that can
lead to 25% energy savings.3

8. High = HVAC, Lighting & Plug Load. Low = All other improvements
Relevance of energy improvements.
