How commercial energy monitoring can help your business
If you’re looking to make improvements to your business’s energy costs and carbon footprint, a good first step is to look at exactly what you’re using, and commercial energy monitoring through EML can help.
By installing advanced sensors across your business premises, we can provide real-time data on how and where your energy is being used. Typically, this will cover gas and electricity, but we can also monitor water usage so you get an overview of all your utilities.
Once the sensors have had time to gather plenty of data, we’ll produce a detailed report for you. If we notice unusual patterns of energy consumption, we can look into the causes. It could be simple things such as lights left on due to broken sensors, or air conditioning left on in empty rooms. Even small changes like fixing broken sensors can make a positive impact on your energy use.
Another use for commercial energy monitoring is to help landlords bill their tenants for electricity and gas. So, if you rent out commercial properties, energy monitoring could help with accurate and automated billing.

The Process
At EML, our first step is always to meet the client so we can identify your goals. When we know what we need to achieve, we carry out a site survey to decide where to target the data collection, and from that create a custom plan for your business’s energy monitoring. Our service provides super accurate measurements, and can be carried out on a single site or multiple locations. If your energy is half hourly metered, we can report on usage without needing to install hardware on site. Please do speak to one of the team if this applies to you.
As part of our energy monitoring service, you’ll have your own portal allowing you to access the information from the sensors on demand. We can create regular detailed reports to help you interpret the information and give you expert advice on how to make improvements, as well as carry out any repair or upgrade works which may help reduce energy use.
