Data
Collect and Analyse
Collect
ECMP accepts electricity, water, gas, fuel, solar and waste data in any format. Data is accepted from a wide range of sources including utility companies, Building Management Systems (BMS), Energy Management Systems (EMS), Modbus meters or Excel spreadsheets. The data can be automatically consumed through e-mail or FTP, or collected via one of our agents.
Analyse
Because the data can come from such a wide range of sources, the system performs a number of validation checks to ensure the integrity of the data. Once the validation has been completed, the calculations are made so that data can be compared to billing reports.
Awareness
Compliance, reporting and alerting
Compliance
ECMP helps you meet the various Government requirements such as NABERS, NGERS and BEEC, as well as reporting via OSCAR.
Reporting
Financial, consumption, demand and carbon reporting at all levels including organisational, divisional, building, location, service type or meter. Reports can be generated for both real-time and historical data, and can be created on demand or scheduled and e-mailed to one or more users on a recurring basis.
Monitoring
Record and monitor your green initiatives through the Initiative Management module. Gain a better understanding of how initiatives will impact your financial costs and energy consumption through forecasting.
Alerts
Be alerted when there is a sudden increase in energy consumption. These alerts can save thousands of dollars in potential misuse of energy or leaks in the system.
Socialise
Engage your staff and clients to participate in your green objectives by visually displaying energy information and goals in main foyer and lobby areas.
Benefits
What ECMP delivers
Control of Energy Use
For senior and line management, sustainability managers, technical staff and general staff and clients, ECMP provides financial, consumption/demand and carbon reports and dashboards designed to inform, alert and prevent cost blowouts through the analysis of real-time and historical information.
Accurate and focused information can target operational problems, whether due to infrastructure deficiencies, commissioning of new equipment or operational inefficiency. ECMP is a catalyst to facilitate continuous improvement in operational function and in energy conservation across all building sites.
Procurement of Energy
ECMP provides quality information for informed procurement, with consequent cost savings. Details such as on-demand charges, capacity constraints and other data are critical to an organisation's ability to negotiate supply contracts, which often include penalties.
Supplier Billing Verification
ECMP provides an electronic record of all bills, payments, invoices and journals. It can import data from suppliers electronically where it is made available. A key objective of the system is the detection of billing errors, and comparing supplier meters against independently sourced profiles.
Maintenance Management Tool
ECMP provides for the analysis of consumption data and the establishment of benchmarks for maintenance needs. These range from tracking actual usage against benchmarks to close tracking of problematic or high-risk plant.
Early warning of variances from historical or expected norms saves direct energy costs, forestalls operational failure, extends the life of plant and equipment, and even improves the operational environment for staff.
