March 29, 2004—E-Mon, a provider of energy submetering systems, has introduced RightEnergy, the first integrated energy intelligence system. RightEnergy allows business users to allocate and bill costs for all utility services, including electricity, gas, water and steam, to the actual users.
The RightEnergy system gives businesses important snapshots of their energy use and enables them to better understand when, where and how energy is being used in their organizations, as well as the power quality levels at each monitored point. With this energy intelligence, businesses — especially manufacturers, commercial properties, government and educational facilities—can better control costs and improve operational efficiencies.
For example, educational facility managers can apportion energy charges to departments, student housing, tenants in the student center and individual buildings, as well as more accurately predict equipment maintenance needs. Military installations can distribute costs more equitably among battalions, central motor pool and hospital facilities. Property management companies can accurately split utility costs, including those attributable to common areas, between commercial and retail tenants.
This creates an incentive to conserve energy and ensures that the building owner only pays its actual energy costs for unleased space while tenants pay for their actual use. Corporations with multiple locations can use RightEnergy as a one-stop energy intelligence system for more effective management of those sites.
RightEnergy also helps manufacturing plants avoid heavy penalties for peaks in their energy use by showing two critical items. First, historical energy use charts enable them to determine which industrial processes might be shifted to avoid the penalties. Second, RightEnergy shows manufacturing plant managers, in real time, whether their peak shaving activities on those specific industrial processes are producing the requisite reduction in energy use.
Highly scalable and customizable, RightEnergy leverages strengths from E- Mon products already well established in the marketplace. The system delivers robust cost allocation capabilities and rich graphical summaries of energy use.
RightEnergy collects and reports energy data from anywhere in the world using a modem and Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher. Communications protocols, such as Ethernet, wireless and RS 485, are also supported. The energy intelligence system includes one day of onsite software installation and training support from E-Mon experts.
