Green solution – no need to exchange existing meters as meter data is made available to end-users.
Compatible with both electronic and mechanical meters
Packing shrunk to minimize the carbon footprint
The solution was developed in cooperation with Dong Energy

2. NQ-92021 Smart Meter Reader
NorthQ – Meter Reader for visualization of power consumption.
NorthQ, in collaboration with Dong Energy, has developed a small meter reader
that can be easily installed on existing electronic or mechanical meters in
order to visualize electricity consumption in private homes. The meter reading
solution is based on the Z-Wave wireless standard, which is ideal for controlling
automation products within the home.
The product consists of 3 parts: a meter reader, a battery-powered wireless
+ +
transmitter and a USB receiver. Electricity usage data is transferred to a chosen
PC every 15 minutes, where it can then be visualized in the form of graphs,
enabling customers to keep track of their electricity consumption (in kWh and
EUR), and monitor their CO2 emissions, etc.. It is also possible to receive real-
time measurements in order to investigate how much each individual appliance
uses in active or standby mode.
Furthermore, it is possible to enter a power budget for how much you want
to consume in EUR per year. A widget on the screen continuously monitors
and updates electricity consumption data to indicate whether you are under
or over budget. You are then able to compare your electricity consumption in
the current year with that in previous years. It is also possible to compare the
consumption in your current home with that in other types of dwelling, e.g.
apartments, houses, villas, etc..
The meter reading solution can also be used in conjunction with the portal
www.eualarm.tv or Google PowerMeter to get an overview of your total energy
consumption and thus enable you to manage your home in a more energy
efficient way. Apart from the obvious financial benefits this solution enables
you to play a part in the global efforts to improve our environment through the
reduction of CO2 emissions.

Real-Time Electricity Readings
NorthQ has developed a solution for the metering
+ + +
and visualization of electricity consumption in
commercial establishments.
The solution consists of four parts: a sensor,
a wireless transmitter, a Z-Wave gateway and
software for visualization of the company’s
electricity consumption.
The sensor, which records power consumption,
is easily installed on mechanical and electronic
meters. The consumption data is sent to a server
every ten seconds and can then be further
distributed to portals like Google PowerMeter,
or www.eualarm.tv for example, where data
can be visualized and analyzed. The IT manager
(or person responsible for monitoring electricity
consumption) can therefore gain an overview of
how much electricity is being used, and when, in
order to facilitate the reduction of unnecessary
power consumption.
