Realtime energy monitoring is an energy efficiency breakthrough. Studies show that seeing electricity usage firsthand, in realtime, leads to substantial reductions - 15% savings on electricity bills is not uncommon.
Energy monitors make electricity and other resource use tangible, rather like a thermometer makes the air temperature visible. And like a thermometer, a monitor does not reduce resources on its own - it simply prompts a response from the facility manager. If your monitor displays a spike in electricity use, you find out why and address the issue.
We think this realtime information is indispensable for understanding and reducing electricity, water and gas consumption. You will know exactly how many kilowatts your building is using. The question is, what do you do with that information? Optima will monitor your resources and guide you with trend analysis to lower your utility bills.
