If you are a busy Energy Manager and you don’t have valuable time to waste checking energy profiles every day over the internet then this is just what you need. Eco Guardian is like having several extra staff working for you and means you can get on with the real energy saving business while the Eco Guardian keeps an eye on this essential but time intensive task for you.
Eco Guardian is a utility that will automatically log on to your meter provider's web site at a frequency set by you (typically daily) and download half hourly data. At present this data is usually available for all sites over 100kW, and under 100kW sites are also available on request. After the data has been downloaded, the software will automatically complete a number of calculations and compare the downloaded profile with targets that may be easily predefined for each site you wish to monitor. The Eco Guardian will alert you of any site(s) that fall outside the parameters you have set and a target validation report is produced, providing you with the meter name and date and how many half hours data fell outside your set parameters for each day. If all is well then five green ticks are shown at the top of the report and you need do no more. If one red X appears then it is recommended that you view the highlighted sections of the report. Click on any date/meter showing an anomoly and it will immediately provide a day profile in graphical and numerical format with the anomalies clearly shown in white.
All downloaded data is also automatically available for our Eco Tools application for further analysis. You can set generalised or specific tagets. For example, all power factors below 0.98 or any killowatt hour meter going above a set value. You can create seasonally based, daily profile half-hour targets using the automatic or manual target setter in the Eco Tools application, which is a pre-requisite for the Eco Guardian to function. Water, gas or any other fuel data can also be gathered at the same time and checked in the same way.
