Monitoring and targeting

The need to know where energy is being used.

Monitoring and Targeting is the collection, analysis and reporting of information on utility use, and has been described as the cornerstone of energy management.

It is important to discover where energy is being consumed and where it is being wasted. The causes can then be diagnosed and cured, leading to reduced energy consumption and costs – government figures suggest that monitoring and targeting (M & T) can lead to savings of between 5% and 25%.

The Government Carbon Trust initiative enables EMTAC to perform full monitoring and analysis of your utility consumption.

We offer a complex package to implement M and T tailored specifically for your site and business.

Analysis – consumptions are compared with previous years, and any abnormal changes investigated and remedial action taken. Usage is also compared with benchmarks to allow us to compare energy performance against similar buildings within your sector:

The report generated from an initial site survey sets out your long-term goals, medium-term objectives and short-term targets.

With assistance from EMTAC, implementation of monitoring and targeting will ensure these objectives can be achieved.

This Service is approved by DEFRA and funding may be available through The Carbon Trust interest free loan scheme.
