Footprint provides an energy monitoring system for existing buildings. It measures the consumption of energy resources regarding the environment. Do visit us for services.

1. The Utility Monitoring System (UMS) is a utility management tool. It is a
Web-based computer system that collects detailed consumption
information for selected utilities serving your facility. Many facilities also
use the UMS to sub-meter other important hotel loads such as chillers,
laundry, or restaurants.
Utilities monitoring and targeting is primarily a management technique
that uses Utilities information as a basis to eliminate waste, reduce and
control current level of Utilities use and improve the existing operating
procedures.
Monitoring and Targeting is a management technique in which all plant
and building utilities such as fuel, steam, refrigeration, compressed air,
water, effluent, and electricity are managed as controllable resources in the
same way that raw materials, finished product inventory, building

2. occupancy, personnel and capital are managed. It involves a systematic,
disciplined division of the facility into Utilities Cost Centers. The utilities
used in each centre are closely monitored, and the Utilities used is
compared with production volume or any other suitable mea-sure of
operation.
Utilities monitoring and targeting (M&T) is an Utilities efficiency technique
based on the standard management axiom stating that “you cannot manage
what you cannot measure”. M&T techniques provide Utilities managers
with feedback on operating practices, results of Utilities management
projects, and guidance on the level of Utilities use that is expected in a
certain period. Importantly, they also give early warning of unexpected
excess consumption caused by malfunctions, operator error, unwanted user
behaviours, maintenance errors and the like.
The foundation of M&T lies in determining the normal relationships of
Utilities consumptions to relevant driving factors (production thoughputs,
weather, available daylight, etc.) and the goal is to help business managers:
Identify and explain excessive Utilities use
Detect instances when consumption is unexpectedly lower than
would usually have been the case
Draw Utilities consumption trends (weekly, seasonal, operational…)
Determine future Utilities use when planning changes in the business
Diagnose specific areas of wasted Utilities
Observe how the business reacted to changes in the past
Develop performance targets for Utilities management programs
Monitoring utility use
Monitoring utility use tells exactly how much is consumed which in turn
helps identify which energy usage areas can be reduced. Looking at heating
and cooling costs in relation to degree days shows if the building heating or
cooling use pattern matches actual need, per the weather. Over all,
monitoring energy use and cost helps to pin point the time and reasons for
the building’s energy use, thus providing the information on which to act to
help make good energy use decisions. This is also a great way to both
prepare for an energy audit.Having the auditor look at high energy use
areas will make the audit more effective.

3. The Benefits of Monitoring
Measure
Allows you to accurately evaluate the energy efficiency of your home, office
or retail environment.
 There is no limit to the number of appliances or equipment that can
be measured.
 Installation is quick and easy, with measurement of energy
consumption immediately activated
 The information is displayed through an easy to use web portal
 Energy consumption is provided in real-time to show energy
consumption as it is being used
Manage
 Managing your utilities consumption through the web portal
increases
 your awareness of the energy you are using on a daily basis
 Email alerts can be set up through the portal to send messages when
appliances use more than adefined amount of power or go off
unexpectedly.
 By managing your overall energy consumption you will be lowering
 your carbon footprint, saving youmoney and helping the
environment.
