Embedded Network
Embedded networks are suitable for any multi-tenancy site with combined energy bills. Building owners can generate revenue by creating a private electricity network then on-selling power to tenants.
An embedded network occurs when the owner of a building installs a parent meter and purchases electricity for their entire property. It is suitable for commercial buildings, shopping centres and large residential apartment blocks. Custom metering shows how and where each unit of energy is consumed in the building with all use fully itemised and transparent. As a large market user you can then negotiate a bulk, discounted rate for power with your energy retailer but continue to sell electricity to occupiers at the usual rate. From simple individual metering installations to complex multi-meter and multi-tenant networked options, our energy consultants can provide a solution that fits most scenarios.
Voltage Optimisation
Voltage optimisation can minimise energy consumption, reduce maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
Approximately 90% of buildings in Australia are supplied with electricity at a higher voltage than they need due to the nature of the grid. For some businesses, “smoothing out” the power load can be a simple option to achieve energy savings of up to 12%. Voltage optimisation reduces the voltage of the electricity supplied to equipment, minimising energy use, while remaining within the operating conditions specified by the equipment manufacturers. The types of equipment most affected by voltage sensitivity include motors, refrigeration, HVAC and some lighting. Our energy consultants can show you how to align your electricity supply to the level where equipment efficiency, performance and reliability is optimised at minimum running cost.
