Revealing Hidden Cost Savings

C-trac is a comprehensive web-based utilities monitoring package, built on the well-known adage: If you don't measure it - you can't manage it! It recognises that most opportunities to make significant cost savings and CO₂ emission reductions are hidden. The key to unlocking these involves the appropriate monitoring of the individual equipment/systems that consume the most power and then comparing their actual performance with what they should (if operating as they were designed to) or could achieve if replaced with the most energy-efficient equivalents available. Comparing the actual cost of operation with these two perspectives provides accurate Return on Investment (ROI) type information enabling confident decision-making on the most cost-effective way forward whether through improved and better targeted maintenance activities, upgrades or the partial/complete replacement of systems.

The identification of maintenance opportunities via efficiency monitoring is supplemented with vital reliability and availability data, providing condition based maintenance (CBM) alerts indicating when equipment is deteriorating and going to fail.

In addition to these unique capabilities, C-trac provides web-based Monitoring and Targeting functionality and Reporting facilities. This includes Normalised Performance Indicators which are updated daily and are ideal for benchmarking buildings or comparing individual buildings with government target consumption and emissions..

Key benefits are:

• Low cost - no capital outlay necessary.
• User friendly - easy set-up, colour coded performance indicators. All utility data translated into cost, consumption and CO₂ emissions.
• Secure login and database .
• Designed to be superimposed on any system from stand-alone meters to fully integrated Building Management Systems (BMS) networks - not necessary to replace any existing equipment.
• Option of self-healing wireless 'mesh' network using battery operated nodes. This provides rapid low cost installation.
• A global system that supports international data entry and flexibility in Green House Gas (GHG) monitoring protocols.
• Tracks all utilities: Electricity, Gas, Oil, Water and Effluent.
• Extracts maximum value from utility data thereby providing the power to conserve precious natural resources.
