Case Study - Trinity Mirror
We are currently working with The Mirror Group to take online data for power from several sources on three floors of the Mirror Group building. Some sources are low voltage with existing metering, whereas others are chillers requiring new current transducers. We will also monitor nine presses and the gas and water supplies, to identify any energy wastage or inefficiency. The system can be configured for alarms, based on measured or derived values, allowing for absolute and predictive alarms to be sent by SMS or e-mail.
Other sensors to expand the system may be added at a later date, as the Energy Application's software system is scalable, although additional hardware would be required for additional upgrades.
Main drivers for the system are to be the provision of:
1. Online 24 hour monitoring with mechanisms in place for actions on alarms
2. Power saving by controlling the settings and usage on equipment
3. Provide a central storage location for correlation of automatic metered checks
4. Produce data and reports for compliance
5. Introduce automation
6. Reporting systems streamlined and made easier to understand and digest
7. Impressive financial and environmental benefits
In monitoring, measuring and analysing this data, we will significantly reduce carbon emissions and energy wastage in The Mirror Group's practices and procedures; saving them many thousands of pounds a year and helping them gain awareness of their responsibility to the environment through energy conservation.
