LEED
Score Points With Submetering

LEED, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the largest driving force behind the increased development of green buildings in the world. One of the most important factors that LEED uses in their certification process is energy consumption and the owner’s ability to track usage and identify potential savings. While most conventional buildings have simple meters provided by the utility company for billing purposes, the advanced standards for LEED certification require more robust and more precise monitoring capabilities.

Submetering Simplified



LEED’s advanced energy metering requirements demand added specificity beyond what can be manually observed from the utility’s billing meter. In addition, individual end uses must be submetered if they make up 10% or more of the building’s total energy consumption for the year.

In order to meet the advanced energy metering requirements, user-owned power meters must possess the following qualities and capabilities:

  • Must be permanently installed, record at intervals of one hour or less, and transmit data to a remote location.
  • Electricity meters must record both consumption and demand. Whole-building electricity meters should record the power factor, if appropriate.
  • The data collection system must use a local area network, building automation system, wireless network, or comparable communication infrastructure.
  • The system must be capable of storing all meter data for at least 36 months.
  • The data must be remotely accessible.
  • All meters in the system must be capable of reporting hourly, daily, monthly, and annual energy use.

With so many to pick from, choose the one that makes it easy
  • Only three Power Meter SKU’s to choose from
  • Every meter measures up to 600 VAC
  • Easy to stock & quick delivery
  • Patrol Flex CT’s take the guesswork out of amperage

Rethink the Way Metering is Done

Whether called Multi-Load, Multi Circuit, Multi Channel or even Branch Circuit energy metering, Setra’s line of power meters lower the cost per metering point and measures with more granularity than other metering solutions on the market.​

  • Measure two different service levels with Dual Voltage inputs on the 12 or 48 Load meters)​
  • Any combination of single, dual, or three-phase loads up to the CT count of the meter​
  • Intuitively configure any application with on-board configuration portal

How the Meter Works

power-meter-software

Configure

Utilize the built-in configuration portal to easily map out what’s being measured to support any energy management strategy

connect-power-meter

Connect

Wire the voltage service lines, current transformers, pule I/O and communications wiring to the meter

power-meter-collect

Collect

Leverage the available BACnet or Modbus communications protocol to tie the meter into any existing or new EMS or BAS within the application



Selecting a Solution
as Easy as 1 - 2 - 3

1

Identify what's going to be metered

energy-management-applications

Look across the installation and identify the equipment that are to be measured to support energy strategy

Examples: Chillers, Lighting, AHU’s, Tenant Usage

2

Count up how many CT’s are needed

spm-accessories

Match the CT amperage to the breaker feeding the load or use Patrol Flex Coils (up to 1500A)

Single-Phase Service = 1CT
Split-Phase Service = 2 CT’s
Three Phase Service= 3 CT’s

3

Select Meter Part Number

setra-systems-power-meters

Take the CT count and select the meter with the right number by matching the CT’s with available inputs

SPM03EDN = 3 CT inputs
SPM12EDN = 12 CT inputs
SPM48EDN = 48 CT inputs
