Monitoring & Targeting
Monitoring and Targeting is a proven technique to reduce energy use by carefully monitoring when, where and how energy is used. With the collected data targets are put in place and through various creative means energy savings are made.
In other words... “you cannot manage what you cannot measure”


The Energy Practice is ideally placed to implement and run Monitoring and Targeting strategies and does so with much success. There are many so call Monitoring and Targeting specialists in the industry but a large portion of them lack the practical approach and the ability to engineer new energy saving solutions. The Energy Practice is a company well grounded in building services design as well as energy use, perfectly placed to deliver the most complete package.

We are currently pioneering a cost effective solution for retrofitting energy metering to existing distribution boards to provide far more detailed monitoring. Rather than metering only being available for a building, block or even the major energy loads this system would allow assessment of each circuit providing means to split small power from lighting for example.

The extent of our services can be tailored to match our clients requirements be it simple bill analysis to metering set up and full implementation of energy saving measures through engineering solutions. One thing is for sure; you will not find our energy team looking for third party companies to deliver their energy saving measures.

Additionally the Energy Practice has a complete Tariff understanding and can contribute to your energy procurement policy; our people have auditing experience enabling utility costs to be controlled and cost effectively managed and if required Monitoring and Targeting on site can be complemented with our eprocurement products at purchase ledger level.

Our extensive experience with Building Management Systems (BMS) ensure your operational control is not only present but is cost effective. Data can be delivered over a web platform for analysis and monitoring on top of automatic alarms and trends built into the systems.

The key aspects of Monitoring and Targeting are as follows:

       1. Measure the energy

       2. Define a base line of energy use

       3. Monitor variations between
           expected and actual consumption

       4. Identify causes

       5. Set targets

       6. Monitor results
