Energy monitoring: An opportunity that many companies miss.

Energy monitoring is an important step in saving energy. By monitoring your consumption, you gain insight into your company's energy performance. From this, opportunities for energy savings can be determined. On average, by applying energy monitoring, you can save 20-30% on your energy consumption. This makes monitoring an interesting investment.

To make optimal use of energy monitoring, it is important that you can actively work with the measures that emerge from the monitoring. With the methodology of Ekwadraat you can achieve maximum savings on your energy consumption.

How does energy monitoring work?

The energy monitoring system gives insight into the consumption of electricity and gas in your company. First, a baseline measurement is made, which shows the current situation of the energy management.

This is then analyzed by our energy savings specialists. This reveals the first opportunities for savings. These are often behavioral measures. Examples are:

Appliances that are left on at night
Lighting that is on unnecessarily
Appliances that are wrongly adjusted
Etc.

In cooperation with you, a strategy is devised to realize these 'quick wins'. With behavioral measures, for example, it is very important to involve the employees.

After realizing the first savings opportunities, the next step begins. Our consultants examine your building for all kinds of possible savings opportunities. Here you can think of:

Heating
Cooling
Lighting
Insulation

This study outlines all possible savings measures. This way you will know how much a measure costs, how much energy and costs you save per year and how long it takes before you have earned back this investment.

Finally, we guide you in realizing these measures. Thus, we make a program of requirements, request several quotations and give you advice on the best way to realize the measures.

Is energy monitoring interesting for my company?
