Energy Consumption Optimisation

Your Machines Are Running When They Shouldn’t Be.

SmarterHU collects data from every energy meter in your building — main incomer, sub-meters, and machine-level — to reveal exactly when, where, and why energy is being wasted. Then it schedules your machines to run only when they should.

The Problem

Human-controlled scheduling is never optimal.

People forget to switch machines off. They turn them on too early. And nobody ever has the data to prove it — until the energy bill arrives.

01. Machines Running After Hours
AHUs, chillers, and pumps left running long after the last person leaves — burning energy through evenings, nights, and weekends.
02. Starting Too Early
Systems switched on an hour before needed — out of habit or caution. That extra hour, every day, across multiple machines, adds up fast.
03. No Machine Run-Hour Visibility
Without sub-metering and run-hour tracking, there's no way to know which machine ran for how long, when, or whether it needed to.
04. Wrong Machines Running at Once
Multiple machines running simultaneously when only one is needed. No load sequencing, no staggered startup, no coordination.
05. Same Schedule for Every Day
Machines follow the same fixed schedule regardless of Monday morning, Friday afternoon, public holiday, or half-day.
06. Peak Demand Charges Unmanaged
All machines starting together creates demand spikes that trigger peak demand charges — avoidable with staggered startup.
Energy Data Collection

Every meter. Every machine. Every hour.

A complete metering hierarchy.

Most buildings have a main energy meter — and nothing else. SmarterHU adds sub-meters and machine-level sensors that break that single number down into its constituent parts. You see not just how much — but which machine, which floor, which hour.

All data streams to the cloud automatically, every hour, building a rich consumption history that reveals patterns invisible to any manual process.
Main Incomer Meter
Total building energy consumption — tracks peak demand, monthly units, and demand charges in real time.

Building level
HVAC Sub-Meters
Dedicated meter isolating HVAC energy from lighting, IT, and other loads for accurate attribution.

System level
Machine-Level Meters
Individual meters per chiller, AHU, cooling tower, pump — tracking exactly how much each draws and when.

Machine level
Zone & Floor Sub-Meters
Energy consumption per floor, per zone, or per tenant — enabling cost allocation and consumption analysis.

Zone level
Consumption Pattern Analysis

See what your machines are doing hour by hour.

Patterns reveal the real waste.

Once you can see energy consumption hour by hour, machine by machine — the wasteful patterns become impossible to ignore. Machines running through lunch. Chillers cycling on Sunday mornings. AHUs starting an hour before the first person arrives.

SmarterHU automatically flags these patterns and quantifies their cost — so the decision to fix them is backed by data, not guesswork.
Night & weekend pattern detection
Identifies machines consuming energy outside occupancy hours — quantifies the exact kWh and cost of each after-hours run.
Day-type comparison
Compares Monday to Friday, weekdays to weekends, working days to holidays — revealing where schedules aren't aligned.
Week-on-week and month-on-month trending
Tracks whether energy consumption is rising or falling — attributes changes to specific machines or schedule modifications.
Cross-building benchmarking
Compares this building's consumption against similar buildings — highlights which are over-consuming and by how much.
Intelligent Scheduling

The right machine. The right time. Automatically.

Machines run when needed. Stop when they shouldn’t.

SmarterHU builds optimised run schedules for every machine — chillers, AHUs, cooling towers, and pumps — based on occupancy patterns, historical demand, and calendar events. The schedule is enforced automatically.

When conditions change — an unexpected event, a public holiday, a half-day — the system adapts. When a machine runs outside its schedule without a valid reason, an alert is raised immediately.

Calendar-aware scheduling
Schedules adapt automatically for public holidays, declared non-working days, and special events.
Occupancy-linked operation
Machines start only when occupancy is confirmed — shut down automatically when the building empties.
Staggered startup to cut peak demand
SmarterHU staggers startups by 5–10 minutes — smoothing the demand curve and reducing peak charges.
Unscheduled run alerts
Any machine running outside its schedule triggers an immediate alert — waste caught in minutes.
How It Works

From meter to optimised schedule — automatically.

SmarterHU connects to your energy meters, analyses consumption patterns, builds an optimal machine schedule, and enforces it — without anyone having to manage it manually.

What You Gain

Six tangible outcomes from energy optimisation.

Beyond energy savings — operational, financial, and sustainability benefits that compound over time

15–25%

Direct Energy Cost Reduction

Machines running only when needed — and not a minute longer — directly reduces kWh consumption in the first year.

15–25% savings

10–15%

Peak Demand Charge Reduction

Staggered startups smooth the demand curve — reducing the peak kVA demand utilities charge for separately.

Demand charges cut

Extended

Equipment Life

Every unnecessary run hour accelerates wear. Optimised scheduling directly reduces total run hours — deferring capex.

Longer equipment life
