Di-LOG Energy T
The ultimate energy solution partner for your customers
he newest member of the Di-LOG Group, Di-LOG Energy aims to establish a clear link to help the electrical wholesale network deliver enterprise energy efficiencies and cost- saving opportunities.
Di-LOG Energy’s energy portfolio offers the UK’s largest complete range of solar test equipment, thermal imaging solutions and energy management devices, all under one banner. Adam Mohammed, business manager at Di-LOG Energy, explains more.
As pressure increases from environmental concerns and business energy tariffs continue to rise, business leaders and those responsible for commercial energy management need to be fully aware of how their site is performing, identifying areas where consumption and emissions can be lowered, and therefore costs reduced, in the drive towards net zero. Di-LOG Energy is a trusted partner for the electrical industry, working with the public sector and commercial enterprises, to assist in solving these important energy focused challenges.
Energy monitoring
The performance of an electrical installation at a site or facility can be easily monitored by logging consumption data to determine efficiency. Solutions such as power energy loggers or power analysers are a targeted way of recording this data, and should be part of an ongoing maintenance routine. The recorded data will show where - and, more importantly, when - energy is being used most, with patterns of usage identified and a plan of action agreed. Electrical contractors working with businesses should agree on a regular review of energy management plans, which could include fitting monitoring and analysing devices to determine these patterns.
Partnering with Di-LOG Energy will enable you to offer a portfolio of energy monitoring devices that can be purchased or even hired for a week, a month or longer. Our optional in-house
configuration service supports equipment hired from us, meaning the units arrive ready to be installed. Our optional bolt-on reporting service provides bespoke reports and analysis.
Thermal imaging
Thermal imaging uses infrared cameras that are designed to detect heat radiation from specific areas or objects, with different colours used to highlight areas of high or low heat, or cooler areas. A key benefit is that targets can be inspected in a non-destructive manner, and that machinery, motors, distribution boards and electrical installations can be fully operational at the time of survey.
Thermal imaging should be used as part of a continuous and ongoing maintenance plan. Many facilities management companies use thermal imaging cameras to prevent failure, such as the overheating of motors and machinery, or to identify hotspots within electrical installations and distribution boards.
Di-LOG Energy is the electrical wholesale distribution partner for world-leading thermal imaging and infrared technology manufacturer Teledyne FLIR. The range boasts a full portfolio of hand-held thermal imaging cameras used by facilities managers, building inspectors and electrical contractors. The range starts with the
low-cost FLIR ONE and the pocket-sized Cx Series cameras, through to professional thermal imaging tools such as the FLIR Ex, Exx and the T-Series cameras.
Solar
According to Part L of the building regulations, from 15 June 2023 all new homes must produce 30% less carbon dioxide emissions than current standards. This means new approaches must be found to power, heat and warm our homes, moving away from the old inefficiencies of the past.
One of these approaches is the move to solar. The number of households installing rooftop solar PV systems has reached its highest level in more than seven years, with figures show more than 50,700 households installed PV representing a significant opportunity for the installation, testing and ongoing maintenance of solar PV arrays, both domestically and commercially.
Partnering with DI-LOG Energy provides the electrical wholesale network with access to a large portfolio of solar test equipment, installation tools and installation safety equipment.
