Thought Leaders Series: Data insight, a key strategy for energy management

Data is king! However, big data is only valuable if it’s used the right way. But it is the first & important step towards a better energy future. Energy management is understanding your energy consumption and then allowing you to take the right actions, to help continuously optimise your facilities.

The technology stack that comes together in a metering & monitoring architecture is key, to ensure energy can be proactively managed.

Hear from some of the industry experts on the following key points:

• Selecting the right types of power meters
• The importance of metering communication & data integration
• Difference between on-site vs cloud-based software systems
• The innovation across the different levels of the LV power system, from main switchboard right down to final distribution.

The ability to collect real-time accurate data and leveraging off more and more digital technologies, helps drive stronger implementation of energy management initiatives, enabling end-users to make faster & better decisions.

Key messages

• The benefits of energy management and how it can address regulations such as ISO 50001 and National Construction Code (NCC)
• The five functional stages that constitute essential best practices for energy management
• Why pre-engineered reference architectures with Edge devices and smart connected products should be considered
• How data insights help forecast energy usage, providing energy efficiency and better payback.
