Using smart electric, gas and water meters, Carbon View communicates wirelessly over a computer network to retrieve data from which CO2 emissions are calculated.
The data is displayed as an easy-to-interpret set of dials that move in real-time with actual consumption, showing green, orange and red parameters that are set for a particular building.
Providing accurate information displayed in a visually-appealing way for staff and customers to see and engage – the product’s design can be tailored to brand and corporate message.
The company’s sales director Richard St Clair:
“Implementing smart meters and energy management measures is the first step towards achieving a low carbon building. The next step is to show people using energy what they are consuming – and what it means – in a user-friendly way.
“Improving an organisation’s efficiency in maintenance and energy-wastage reduction and thereby improving cost-savings, becomes visible – and real.
If people have easy access to understandable information and knowledge, they are more likely to do something about it.
“Such measures are eco-efficient and cost effective, providing competitive advantage through demonstrating a real, positive commitment to climate change.”
Carbon View has been successfully installed at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), London, which reported enhanced engagement and awareness from staff and visitors.
