Case Study
Sub-metering solution for a 30-storey high-rise
Customer
Yurika’s customer owns and operates a 30-storey commercial building and 10 retail outlets. The building is leased to many different tenants who have varying levels of electricity consumption.
Objective
With over 30 floors of commercial office space and 10 retail outlets, the client was looking for accurate measurement of electricity consumption. This was important to monitor accurate cost recovery, while also collecting relevant information to ensure compliance reporting and building efficiency. It was obvious after an initial meeting that the client required the installation of high-quality sub-metering and the supply of effective and accurate information visualisation tools.
Solution
More than 65 electricity meters, both Current Transformer and Whole Current types, were installed throughout the property, capturing both mechanical and tenancy loads. Installation and commissioning works were performed both in and out of business hours to ensure minimal disruption to tenants and their business operations. Working closely with the customer, fitting in with appropriate timing for shutdowns, the whole project took some weeks to complete as planned.
As part of the solution, data is read remotely each day by Yurika metering team and processed through a back-office system that validates, warehouses and distributes the data as agreed with the customer. To enable cost recovery exercises to be performed, as well as producing compliance reports and monitoring efficiency, the client was supplied with our EMP (Energy Monitoring Platform) Multi Plus integrated software platform solution. Its many features include aggregated summary reporting, financial reporting, cost verification, cost what if functionality, calculation of on-charging, benchmarking, as well as a range of compliance reports.
Outcomes
This solution went above and beyond the client’s expectations. They now have an easy to use, innovative and integrated software platform that:
- Puts them and their tenants in charge of their electricity
- Gives them the information they need to improve the energy efficiency of the building
- Ensures they meet their compliance obligations.
