Successful energy management relies on detailed energy usage information gathered from power monitoring equipment installed in the building. Setra's latest innovation in submetering is our new Networked Multi-Load Power Meter.

Submetering makes it easy to measure exact electrical usage for loads. These precise measurements mean the data of the actual electrical use can be read and analyzed. A power meter means no more inaccurate estimated bills. Submetering gives greater control over consumption and helps to eliminate energy inefficiency.

Setra Systems will be exhibiting at the AHR Expo in Orlando from February 3 through the 5. In addition to our extensive HVAC and Critical Environments lines, this year Setra will be unveiling several new and exciting products. Come by and see Setra at booth 973!

Companies today don't invest in energy management for a myriad of reasons. Many view energy management as an expense rather than an investment. Energy costs often account for the largest portion of a company's expenditures, but there way be several barriers to overcome before investing in energy management.

To bill tenants for utility usage, landlords can either divide the total bill among the tenants or employ a submeter. Submetering is commonly applied to three utilities: water, gas, and electricity. For electrical submetering, a power meter is installed to measure energy use after it reaches the primary meter. Utilizing submeters makes it simple to monitor electricity use for individual tenants, departments, or pieces of equipment.

As energy costs rise and being environmentally conscious is ever a concern, power monitoring is increasingly popular. Numerous states now offer incentives to encourage buildings and other consumers to start power monitoring.
