Submeters and Analytics: Single-Circuit Meter

Facility managers can use real-time energy monitoring at the circuit level. The monitoring can reveal excess or off-schedule energy consumption, safety hazards, faulty BAS settings or overrides. It can also predict device failures.

Researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) evaluated a low-cost single-circuit meter. They found it was easy to install and highly accurate. Single-circuit meters will provide the most value for devices or end uses that have high power consumption, such as chillers or data centers.
