Full-Panel Submetering & Analytics Webinar, Wednesday May 29, 12 pm ET
New systems that integrate sensors and analytics are simplifying the submetering process and driving costs down. This outbrief will present results from a testbed evaluation of a submetering system that integrates sensor data from an electrical panel with cloud-based analytics. At the testbed, comparing potential savings to installed costs yields payback under one year. During the webinar, researchers and facility managers will discuss findings from the evaluation, share operational guidance and answer questions. Attendees are eligible to receive continuing education credits from the American Institute of Architects.
