Eaton Paves the Way to More Efficient Buildings with New Energy Calculator
P
ower management company Eaton has announced the launch of a new energy calculator to help businesses find out what cost savings can be achieved on their energy bills simply by switching to more efficient lighting. Now available, the online calculator provides users with a lighting report to aid them in achieving increased efficiency in their building. “A report by the Carbon Trust* suggests that lighting alone consumes around 20 percent of all electricity generated in the UK and 75 percent of all lighting installations are thought to be out of date and unable to meet current design standards,” said John Robb, marketing director, Eaton. “This makes lighting one of the main areas that businesses need to target to reduce energy consumption and in turn cut carbon emissions.
Our new energy calculator provides facility managers and specifiers with an essential tool enabling them to pinpoint exactly where and how these savings can be made.” The online calculator takes users through a short series of questions about their existing lighting installation. Based on these answers, the online tool calculates the amount of energy currently used within the facility and provides the user with an estimated cost savings figure if the business were to switch to a more efficient solution. A full detailed lighting report is also made available to the user. For more information on Eaton’s latest low energy lighting solutions or to

VMU-Y makes a piece of cake out of multi-site energy management
Carlo Gavazzi presents a no annual fee solution F
or many organisations the key to successful energy monitoring is flexibility and as such a solution which provides the ability to monitor a single site or multiple sites and installations via a gateway is essential. But the ability for this solution to
be scalable is also a major benefit for companies large and small because it enables their energy management system to evolve with the company. Carlo Gavazzi’s VMU-Y EM is one such solution providing all the benefits of a multi-site solution without ongoing costs.
The newly launched VMUY-EM enclosed in a compact 2-DIN module and allows the user to aggregate information from up to 10 VMU-C EM units within a single centralised interface. This effectively allows you to monitor up to 320 meters and access the information from any PC using a standard web browser with no recurrent annual fees. All data can be viewed through the web browser which uses a highly interactive software interface, providing exportable data from selection of AC, DC and environmental variables in either xls or csv format. Alarms and warnings are logged and automatically emailed allowing for immediate action. Complete with an impressive 32GB on board data storage which is substantial enough to store up to 30 years of historical data. To help minimise costs, VMU-Y allows estimations of the monthly costs based on the energy monitored which is calculated by its embedded dual tariff.
