renewables operators and energy managers “Before Optima we were trying to meet our energy savings targets using non-real time information from five different vendors of energy meters….difficult at best. Now we have a single energy information system for tracking our energy use and savings, and planning new efficiency projects. OptimaSITE also links our management, sustainability and employee teams, net results: more savings and everyone is more engaged” Ashley Taylor, Adelie Foods, UK.

opportunities for improvement Find out where you’ll get the best ROI with energy ef ciency investments. A portfolio-wide view of performance quickly shows which facilities have the largest impact — whether they are consuming the most, exceeding expected consumption, experiencing the biggest peak demand, or indicating potential equipment or scheduling problems. Optimize scheduling during nights, weekends, and holidays Understand how much energy your facilities are using 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Compare daytime and night-time loads, weekdays and weekends, and occupied and unoccupied days to make no-cost adjustments to your existing heating, cooling, and lighting controls systems that can deliver signi cant recurring savings. Minimize peak demand charges on your electricity bills Peak demand charges could account for as much as 40% of your total spend. Predictive forecasting in OptimaSITE will notify you before a facility’s consumption hits its peak or surpasses a threshold that you de ne.
