Designed to Support all Major Requirements

Involved in Energy and Water

Consumption Management

Services

Our services are designed to support all major requirements involved in energy and water consumption management. The types of service that may be applicable to you will depend on the existing configuration of electricity, gas and water meters on your site(s). For instance you may have some sort of energy management system already or you may have nothing more than basic ‘dumb’ meters from your main utility suppliers.

Services include meter strategy & surveys, meter procurement & installation, fiscal meter interface, the provision of automatic meter reading systems, automatic monitoring & targeting software, billing, system support, and system training.

These services can be provided individually or collectively under our turnkey total solution package.

Bureau Service

We constantly monitor the reliability of data input for customers and advise them of problems which can affect the performance their system. Corrective action can be performed either on site or remotely depending on the circumstance.

  • Meter surveys
  • Meter sizing
  • Meter procurement
  • Meter installation
  • Automatic meter reading systems
  • Automatic data analysis
  • System training
  • Turnkey

Meter Strategy and Surveys

We recommends that you have a metering strategy and action plan for developing your aM&T. To assist you with this we provide meter survey/consultancy services to:

  • Assess all existing meters both fiscal and sub meters and advise on suitability and connectivity for automatic meter reading
  • Meter Operator liaison service to get AMR interface to fiscal meters
  • Study your services distribution systems to assess where to strategically locate sub-meters for greatest impact
  • Assistance in choosing the right meter for the application
  • Assess the best comms option for automatic meter reading
  • Price estimates for meter installation and AMR provision
  • Review of metering vs. statutory requirements e.g. Part L Building Regulation
  • aM&T system specification service

Meter Provision and Installation Service

We take on the responsibility for sourcing and procuring fiscal and sub-meters which are necessary for the optimal configuration for your site.

Meter Provision and Installation Service Service metering is a relatively specialist engineering activity and there is a bewildering maze of meters to choose from. At EMT ‘we know meters’ and know how to install them. We provide a meter provision and supply service we call “meter enabling works” which includes:

  • Choosing the right meter for the application
  • Meter Operator liaison service to get AMR interface to fiscal meters
  • Installation service for any utility and any meter type
  • Shutdown arrangements and “out of normal hours” working for time sensitive services
  • Building of bespoke, ‘off site’ multi meter panels
  • Supply and fitting of meter ancillaries to get meter pulse output, e.g. OCR devices, intrinsically safe relays, pulse splitters etc.
  • Recognised MPU works for gas meters

Fiscal Meter Interface

Utility companies are notorious for liaison problems. EMT work with utility companies and know what to do, who to deal with and how to interface to all types of meters.

We would recommend that you automatically read and reconcile all “boundary”, fiscal meters so that you have a better handle on your consumption than your Utility Suppliers and you, the consumer, ‘rules’, not the Utility Company!

When interfacing to fiscal meters, Utility Companies and fiscal Meter Operators are notorious for liaison problems. EMT has been “championing” the Consumers access to the fiscal meters for many years and knows what procedures and processes have to be followed to get fiscal meter interface.

So leave fiscal meter interface to us!

Automatic Meter and Reading System

icon

Manually reading meters is too much of a chore for modern life and in any event it does not utilise the full potential of metering. We recommend installing an Automatic Monitoring and Targeting (aM&T)  system as you install meters. Automatic meter reading turns an ‘idle asset’ meter into a ‘work horse’ for utilities management. EMT supply, install and commission aM&T systems using various comms technologies including;

  • DATABIRD low power radio – ideal for campus sites, towns and cities
  • Network and/or GPRS based loggers – small, single or multi location sites
  • DATABIRD hardwired, ‘daisy chained’ meters – ideal when there are a cluster of meters located together

aM&T AMR hardware is installed adjacent to the meters and interfaced via  pulse output to enable automatic meter reading. The AMR is connected to a PC via a variety of different comms methods to allow automatic meter reading. EMT’s AMR hardware is ‘LEGO  like’ in structure and can be grown as budget and needs mature.

Automatic Monitoring and Targeting (aM&T) Software

icon

Part of an aM&T system is an information management system that can inform you as to what action should be taken to reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.

DYNAMATplus is for deep analyses and includes normal standard M&T analyses as well as EMT’s proprietary analyses such as TRACKERTM, the ‘self learning’ targeting tool. A variety of extra modules are also available such as Decsterity (Display Energy Certificate Module), Applicable days and Email alarms for out of hours consumption.

DYNAMATlite is for more basic use by the occasional user. It is web based, easy to use and does not require any official training sessions. It is a less sophisticated, ‘viewing window’ into DYNAMATplus. Whilst our software programs can be used with any CSV based automatic meter reading system, for consumption, cost, billing and pollutant assessment, the DYNAMAT programs are the ultimate analysis tool to compliment EMT’s DATABIRD systems.

Bill Verification and Billing

billing

DYNAMATplus can reproduce the bill for consumed energy according to any tariff structure. The finance module of DYNAMATplus can provide both bill checking and billing creation when sub-billing is required. The finance module can also cope with any common tariff structure and is updated when the Government moves the “goal posts” e.g. VAT, CCL etc. The output has been used many times to challenge Utility Companies should any discrepancies be found.

System Support

On-going Annual Support Once installed EMT like to see our systems being used well and efficiently. To assist our Customers, after initial installation, we offer two annual contracts:

DATA BIRD Data Warehousing & Maintenance – three facets, separate warehousing of meter data, assessment of AMR faults at no additional cost to repair and finally assistance with meter repair when meter faults are found.

DYNAMAT Software Support – using a switchable, remote desktop access (i.e. When you want, we can remotely grab hold of your keyboard), telephone support for DYNAMAT, no additional cost upgrades, and recovery of missing data.

System Training

On site training is provided to enable customers to take full advantage of the rich features of DYNAMATplus.

All our training sessions are tailor made to suit customer requirements for all levels, from beginners to advanced.

TURNKEY

turnkeyserv

The turnkey service is what most customers want when considering targeting and monitoring systems for carbon management. It is the end to end solution from initial assessment of requirement through to installation, training and on-going support.
