| Dynamic energy management savings platform Green Edge Systems, Inc., a provider of real time energy savings, predictive maintenance and temperature monitoring solutions for campuses, schools, hospitals, presented its GreenGuard state-of-the-art hardware products, software and communication platforms. GreenGuard continuously monitors the savings and the actual energy and maintenance bills and helps deliver increased ROI, boosting savings with a continuous improvement approach. The hardware products are comprised of a variety of powerline, wireless, wired and stand-alone low cost introductory products, making it affordable to any size campus. Two way communications allow automated control of devices in response to price, peak load shaving or demand reduction signals. The software platform utilizes advanced Business Intelligence (BI) tools that allow dynamic energy management, effective demand response, peak load shaving management, energy savings, predictive maintenance and temperature monitoring in one integrated system. This platform allows implementation of demand response, peak shaving, Carbon-Trade and other future energy efficiency, energy savings and greenhouse gas incentive-based programs. Initial energy and maintenance savings of over 20 percent, achieved by the basic system, allows its introduction into campuses, with savings that are much higher than the initial investment in its first year. The savings in following years remain with the customers. The communication and management platform allows the addition of any current and future energy saving systems as an additional module. The GreenGuard sensor platform includes a family of state-of-the-art wireless sensors with the following features: - Wireless Data logging - Internal Relative Humidity/Temp sensors - 4 recording inputs: 4-20mA, 0-1V, Pulse counter, PT100 2-wires, NTC, Thermocouple J, K and T, door sensors - Dry contact in each wireless sensor Other sensors in the GreenGuard family are: - A wired logging device - ideal for smaller installations - A low cost USB temperature recording device that allows 24/7 temperature monitoring at a cost per location with two measuring points of under $200 per location - Multiple input temperature recorder and refrigeration controller - Multiple input temperature recorder, refrigeration, air conditioning and lighting controller In multi location installations such as in school districts, a mixture of the above sensors can be installed, all managed through advanced dashboard application software. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
