Business goals
A recreation club can have sizeable utilities costs for its facilities and grounds upkeep. This project was undertaken to:
Digitalise existing metering infrastructure
Identify wastages and leakages at major consumption areas, such as swimming pools
Optimise report submission process to government agencies
Challenges
Lack of information is costly
The old system was not providing essential information:
Manual process of reading meters and tabulating data was laborious and prone to error
No visibility on utilities consumption patterns and costs in individual areas across the property
Unable to detect and determine root cause of anomalies in utilities usage, resulting in higher costs and low energy efficiencies
Highly dependent on monthly utility bills to view consumption, thus resulting in slow reaction time in the event of leakages and wastages
Solution
Insights enable cost-saving actions
Leveraging its expertise in smart grid technology, SP Digital deployed the innovative GET™ Insights to give this customer visibility on usage and anomalies.
Advanced metering infrastructure + Silver Spring Network (SSN) - which comply with national reliability and security standards - enable the implementation of smart grid technology for greater energy efficiency
Standards-compliant smart electricity and water meters that digitally collect data with greater accuracy (28 smart electricity meters and 19 smart water meters)
Integrated system enables energy efficiencies via digitalising the utilities management process, providing advanced utilities insights and analysis, and anomaly detection algorithms
Alerts and notifications to track utilities consumption thresholds and costs
Enhancements to the building management system did not require extensive retrofitting of building structures
Smart energy usage and minimal retrofitting represent a concerted effort to achieve carbon reduction
