Imagine having a built-in observer, a discreet watchdog if you will, meticulously tracking your property’s energy dynamics and reporting back to you in real-time.
EZ Sense, produced by Centrica Business Solutions, is an innovative device designed to address all these issues and more.
Our wireless sensors can easily be installed on your meters to collect real-time data on your energy usage. We then analyze leaks, inefficiencies, and problem areas, and use that data to recommend easy fixes so you stop burning money for utilities.
Once you’ve got a good handle on the energy usage of your building, you can then easily remove it and reinstall the same devices in another building. You can then begin collecting data and saving money all over again!
One office building manager couldn’t figure out why his building’s electricity usage shot up so much in the space of one year.
When he finally decided to get to the bottom of it and installed the sensors, we discovered that the lights were turning on during the night. Turns out, the building had been painted the year before and the work was done at night. The painters had set timers to have the lights turn on during their work hours, and never turned the timers off.
Easy-as-pie fix! Once the timers were adjusted, the bills promptly went down from $55 per day to just $25 a day.
With occupancy low, the quiet months during the pandemic were an opportunity to perform valuable energy investigations.
This chart, part of an extensive report, indicates that Elevator 2 did not exhibit the expected drop in usage.
Typically, there are three possible reasons for this:
1. Mechanical issues
2. It’s a designated elevator for floor with medical offices
3. It’s the first elevator in the row, and most used
It didn’t take much detective work to attribute the usage to conclude that this elevator was being used the most as it was the first elevator in the row. By installing smart controls to allow all elevators equal usage, we were able to save on the wear and tear of the machinery.
The EZ Sense system will measure and monitor usage across individual units and systems, and send us detailed reports.
EZ Energy can then analyze these reports, sending you actionable updates and alerts.
