John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, states in Submetering of Building Energy and Water Usage: Analysis and Recommendations of the Subcommittee on Buildings Technology Research and Development that “the refined measurement of energy and water use represents a key enabler for the performance of new and existing buildings. For building operators, a detailed record of system performance provides a critical means of not only detecting system malfunctions easily but also focusing future design and retrofit activities on the most cost-effective energy and water system improvements. For building occupants, detailed information on consumption promotes resource conservation through behavioral changes.”
That said, the level of sophisticated energy profiling needed by high-volume consumers is unobtainable using the standard meter found at the main utility service entrance. In response to the need for greater granularity in terms of the energy intelligence needed to optimize today’s facility operations, advanced submeters provide a cost-effective way to help facility operators identify literally thousands of dollars in reduced energy use and cost-savings opportunities.
