An exact, up-to-date, and highly visible picture of a building’s energy consumption and carbon emissions is provided by Trend Control Systems’ new Trend EnergyEYE display system.
Located within a reception area or other communal space, the display is designed to encourage more energy-conscious behaviour, and to allow organisations to demonstrate to stakeholders both their commitment to CO2 reduction and the impact of energy-saving strategies. Trend EnergyEYE is designed to access utility meter readings from a Trend building energy management system and displays a continually updated record of the current day’s gas and electricity usage, plus consumption for the previous month and year to date. Alongside each value is its CO2 equivalent in metric tons; a traffic light system shows at a glance whether the level is on, below, or above user-defined targets. Monthly utility consumption trends are displayed on line graphs or bar charts. Provided the appropriate sub-metering is in place, individual screen pages can be provided for multiple buildings or for different floors or areas within the same premises. Alongside utility and emissions data, the display can incorporate scrolling text and a video.
