We can use combinations of meters at various locations to capture energy use in ways that can be combined into higher levels for reporting. We employ many products and solutions to provide you with valuable, accurate data.

For example: We can use DCM on utility meters, SCADA System for interval (time blocks of energy) and demand calculations (convert to match utility demand capture), Historian and Report Writer to produce timely reports to departments. Optionally, we can also use Analytics and Dashboards enhancement to get control of decision making, so you can answer to your accounting department.

Our solutions and products are custom-tailored to your facility and equipment, and everything we do supports the goal of helping you reduce costs, monitor energy usage, and improve efficiency.

For example: We can design a SCADA system connected to multi-function digital metering and/or utility meters, which allows the easy collection of consumption data. Processing the consumption data through the SCADA system allows the calculation of demand and peak demand for individual circuits and the entire plant. Correct design ensures correlation between the equipment demands and the plant demand. This enables the facilities' engineer to identify the individual load contributions to the plant demand. As a result, operating changes can be made to reduce demand and the associated costs.

• We address your organization and facilitys unique needs
• We operate within the daily realities of your time and budget
• We're your partner and consultant
• We empower you to understand your energy and your systems, and to take control of informed decision making for your organization before, during and after the project.

Our consumption DCM collects pulse contacts from a consumption meter. It accumulates total consumption and calculates average flow so the system can obtain both consumption data and flow data from a consumption style meter. Common consumption meters are utility electric meters, gas meters, and water meters.

Our flow DCM collects current flow and calculates consumption based on integrated flow. This DCM takes an analog input, typically 4-20 mA from a flow meter. It calculates total consumption based on the measured flow in a short time interval and accumulates total consumption from the short-time interval consumption. Typical flow meters include steam and compressed air.

Centric also makes several other DCM modules to allow connection of non-digital devices to a network and the energy system.

Actions include:

• Energy calculations
• Combination of values to present higher level results (such as building totals from individual meters)
• Historical trending
• Alarms
• Control

Control may be achieved either directly or by connection with other systems, such as building automation systems.

As a result, the quantity of data to be saved can be controlled. Historian makes a logical connection to the Data Collection agent over the network. If that connection is disturbed, Historian will automatically backfill when the connection is restored. Data is viewed through a web interface using Internet Explorer from any computer.

Data Historian generates detailed, convenient:

• Data Tables
• Graphs
• Reports

It includes the ability to run preconfigured calculations to give metrics on energy performance throughout a facility and to combine those metrics across the entire organization. Its Site Dashboard enables you to easily access information on electricity use, natural gas use, and electricity production for an entire site using your own computer.

Advanced Analysis also includes a Building Dashboard, which provides a clear indication of the amount of electric energy being used for lighting, HVAC, and manufacturing within a large facility.
