UK energy monitoring and leak detection specialist Parasense is launching Headline News, a foundation solution that enables smaller sites to implement utility analysis and reporting cost effectively.
According to the company, the main benefit of Headline News is that it doesn’t require the installation of hardware on site, significantly reducing set-up costs. “Half-hourly meter readings are diverted to Parasense, where the core data is analysed and presented in easy-to-read formats via a web-based network. Information is segmented so that different parties can drill down into the details and timescales that are pertinent to them, taking action, if required.”
An initial benchmarking audit is carried out allowing the system to accurately flag three different levels of warning in line with targets for energy reduction. Problem areas can be pinpointed with precision, whether they lie in regions, stores, or zones within store. This prompts a response and communication flow, with tasks assigned to a relevant individual or contractor to address the situation.
Utilities that can be monitored by Headline News include electricity, gas and water, and reduction targets are set with seasonal variations, such as outside temperature and business fluctuation, taken into account. As an additional feature, the product has the capacity to track and record refrigerant usage and system maintenance, which provides an auditable trail for compliance for the forthcoming F-Gas legislation.
“Headline News takes all the pain out of energy monitoring and gives facilities managers the freedom to get on with their real job,” said Dan Radford, managing director at Parasense. “Measurement and management of usage go hand in hand. Once you have identified your weak spots for energy wastage, you can do something about it and this system provides a quick and easy way to get right to the heart of your problems.”
