AdvanGrid assessed the situation at the building and recommended GridMate as the best fit for monitoring consumption in combination with a cloud based monitoring platform. Monitoring devices were installed on ventilation systems across different floors of the building and also on the incoming electricity grid.
Cost reduction: With the help of 9 GridMate sensors, ACCENTURE managed to understand the working principles of the ventilation system, which revealed that it is also operated outside the company's working hours - at night and on weekends, wasting electricity. After the settings of ventilation system were modified, the company achieved significant cost reductions. Control over consumption: At the moment, a schedule for ventilation system operations has been developed together with the facility manager, and to prevent human error, AdvanGrid EMS is also set to send warnings via SMS and e-mail, if outside the regular business hours electrical consumption exceeds the limit. Thus preventing the situation from recurring. Further monitoring: The building has been equipped with additional sensors to monitor the third building, where the monitoring data is expected to show further cost reduction opportunities.
