Enables continual energy audit, energy performance monitoring,drawing baseline, normalization and M&V. Extremely useful for ESCO project intervention & decision making. Contact Avijit.Choudhury@Cenergist.com for demo of the platform
2. What is it?
It’s a platform created for “Energy & Sustainability” group/ top
management of the industry/ building owners.
It serves multiple purposes like-
a) Drawing energy baseline of any equipment/system/sub-process
or the entire establishment
b) Display EnPIs or Efficiency parameters instead of power
consumption/fuel consumption values
c) Capture the variables and normalize performances
d) Calculate savings of ENCON projects against the drawn baseline

3. How it is different from others
Conventional System Our System
It’s energy data monitoring & targeting tool It’s Energy Audit cum M&V platform
All clients who want monitoring system/MIS tool may be considered
as potential clients
Clients who want detailed energy audit and want to go for ENCON
intervention need this platform
Doesn’t report energy performance or efficiency of critical
equipment
Reports real time energy performance/ EnPI/ Efficiency of identified
equipment/systems
Doesn’t display energy baseline of HVAC nor the EPI of building Draws energy baseline of HVAC and display whole building EPI
(Energy Performance Index)
Doesn’t capture variables (building heat load, ambient temp & RH
etc.)
Captures all variables and co-relate them with energy performance
Can’t do baseline normalization Normalization technique is in-built
Doesn’t certify energy savings in case of ENCON project/ ESCO
interventions
Authenticates & certifies savings as per the ESCO or EnMS (ISO-
50001) protocol
Doesn’t contribute to investment decision regarding retrofit
interventions
Enables client in investment decision making process
Effective only for heating application Useful for both heating & cooling application

14. Investment Decision Flow Chart
14
Is my HVAC System
Energy Efficient?
Does it require any
intervention?
Look at monthly and
yearly average data of
kW/TR (building SPC)
Compare the value with
– OEM guaranteed value,
efficiency curve,
benchmark value
If the gap is substantial
then investigate further
Whether all the units are
inefficient or inefficiency
lies in some particular
unit?
Select Chiller Unit. Study
the monthly & yearly
EnPI (kW/TR)
If the gap is meaningful
look at Individual
