LEED Buildings

PowerWise offers sensors, meters, and apps to help meet LEED requirements and achieve energy conservation and cost-savings.

Building-Level Electricity Meter

Building-level electricity metering refers to measuring the overall electricity use for a building. PowerWise electricity meters and apps can show the load shape in terms of power draw. Plus, the app can report on energy used by the building by hour, day, and month.

Current transformers clamp around the mains (the feed from the utility) and wire back to the electricity meter.

Electricity Submetering

Submetering is measuring electricity used by individual circuits. Typically, circuits for heating, cooling, ventilation, hot water, lighting and refrigeration are the important ones to monitor. In addition to providing LEED certification points, submetering important circuits offers insight into their runtimes, costs, and performance.

Water Metering

Building-level water metering measures overall use. Submetering refers to appliances or units within a building. follow the same logic described above. Flow meters can measure the overall water use for a building. Or the meters can measure water use by the building subsystems, such as irrigation, fixtures, domestic hot water, boilers, and reclaimed water.
