Energy Guardian is the easy way for businesses and organisations to make energy savings. It is a simple, full-service, smart metering solution that can be installed in less than a day, with no disruption to operations.

Energy Guardian will give you a breakdown of where and when your site is using energy, looking at heating, ventilation and lighting systems, plus specialist equipment and individual sockets.

Energy Data Collection

Our smart meters collect real-time power usage information, and relay this data wirelessly to our Energy Manager analysis software. You can view your energy data online at any time and also use Energy Manager to control the on/off switching of certain equipment.

Reporting

Our energy consultants will access your data remotely, to summarise and interpret the findings for you in regular reports and identify the steps you can take to become more energy efficient. On an ongoing basis, your reports will show where you are making progress towards energy-saving targets and where you could make further improvements: cost-effective ways to lower your energy bills.

A Complete Service

There is no need for you to set aside hours of staff time to deal with your site's energy management issues - we will do this work for you and put you in control of your energy. The Energy Manager software can be used to generate a range PDF reports, at the touch of the button, and can also help you to fulfil the reporting requirements of the CRC Energy Efficiency scheme.

Energy Analysis, focussing on where your organisation can make savings:

• Clear and accurate view of your electricity consumption in monthly reports
• Keep track of the energy used by different individuals or departments, or types of equipment
• Highlight areas of energy wastage
• Breakdown of overnight energy use
• Benchmark your energy usage, and compare your level of energy efficiency with other organisations
• Map your progress against targets.

The Energy Guardian service is based around eight modules. We will define an area of your site (e.g. a building, wing or floor, depending on the size and structure of your organisation) for analysis and focus on the following:

1. Incoming Electrical Feed
2. Lighting
3. Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
4. Microgeneration - e.g. wind turbines and solar installations
5. Water and Gas consumption
6. Central IT (servers)
7. Desktop IT
8. Office Peripherals

Scalability

Energy Guardian is a flexible solution available in different sizes to suit a wide variety of organisations. We offer packages based around the number of metering points needed.

Constant Access to your own Energy Manager

In addition to the reports from our Energy Consultants, you can access your energy data at any time via our online reporting system, Enistic Energy Manager Online:

• Easy-to-read dashboard gives an overview of your energy usage, costs and CO2 emissions - all in real time
• Access current and historical energy data for any area your system is monitoring - from a device or employee workstation, to a department or building
• Compare the energy efficiency of particular equipment or areas of your site over a period of time
• Select the data that interests you and create customised PDF reports at the touch of a button.

Energy Alert Service

• Choose to receive alerts by email or text message if selected devices are left on outside the normal hours of operation
• Sign up for the managers' email update, for a quick, regular overview of your organisation's performance.

Smart Building Service

Our Energy Consultants will recommend simple steps that you can take to improve your site's energy efficiency, such as:

• Automate the switching off of some equipment - for example, outside normal working hours, so that devices cannot accidentally be left on
• Installation of the Enistic Desktop Solution (download our information sheet) on PCs - this ensures that computers are automatically powered-down when not in use, together with any associated peripherals, such as monitors, printers, speakers.

Full Installation

We will arrange a convenient time to come and install all the equipment you need, without disruption, working with your site electrician.

• Includes full assessment of your electrical equipment, including the lighting and air conditioning, so that we can perform benchmarking studies for you and identify where improvements can be made
• Groups and categories can be set up and named according to your preferences - e.g. so you can see at a glance how your energy is being used by different floors or by types of equipment such as the printers
• We configure network access and data feeds for you, so that you can access our easy-to-use reporting system from your PC as soon as the installation is complete.

IBM

IBM chose to conduct a project over the course of 3 and a half months to evaluate how effectively a technology solution could increase staff engagement with energy saving policies, and reduce energy consumption in the workplace. One office, consisting of 45 desks and a workgroup printer, was selected for the project, which was based around enistic 5-way Smart Sockets and the Energy Manager system. Energy usage was lowered by 20%. Read more >>

BF Technology

Worried about rising energy costs, BF Technology wanted to perform a baseline audit of energy wastage and investigate an automated energy management solution. An enistic energy audit kit was installed in order to break down and accurately measure where energy was being used and identify where it was being wasted. Initially, no changes were made to working practice to enable a baseline usage pattern to be established. Read more >>

Interior Control Ltd

In line with their 10:10 commitment (the campaign to reduce UK emissions by 10% in 2010), Interior Control Ltd wanted a cost-effective way to measure their energy footprint and a system that would control and reduce that energy automatically. The Interior Control office in Peterborough comprises three workstations with three desktop computers and a laptop. All of the PCs are left running 24/7 as they are required for remote dial-in.

Smart Office Energy Solutions

In January 2010, one of our American distributors, Smart Office Energy Solutions, was asked to launch an energy reduction initiative for a prominent office building in downtown Houston. The Lyric Centre is a skyscraper with 390,000 square feet of A Class space, mostly divided into offices and conference rooms. Before the deployment of the enistic Smart Office Energy Solution, both building management and tenants had little understanding or awareness of their energy use. Within a matter of weeks, energy savings of 40% had been achieved. Read more >>
