Making Sense of Your Energy — fast.

On a busy commercial or industrial site, the main utility meter only tells part of the story. It shows total energy use — but not how, where, or why that energy is being consumed. In reality, each tenant, zone, or system may be drawing vastly different amounts of power, often without anyone knowing.

At Elcomponent, we help you uncover what’s really happening behind the scenes with intelligent sub metering systems. Because smarter decisions come from clearer insight.

When the Main Meter Isn’t Enough

Consider this common scenario: your monthly electricity bill looks high, but your site appears to be running as normal. Without deeper data, it’s hard to answer questions like:

• Which tenant is using the most energy?
• Are shared areas being overcharged or under-accounted for?
• Is HVAC or lighting running when it shouldn’t be?
• How do different buildings or departments compare?

That’s where sub-metering proves invaluable. It allows you to break down energy usage by load, location, or responsibility — so you can stop guessing and start managing.

See Every Circuit Clearly

Sub-metering gives you a detailed view of your site’s consumption, including:
• Tenant-specific loads in multi-let buildings
• HVAC, lighting, and plant systems
• EV chargers, kitchen equipment, IT suites
• Remote or infrequently accessed areas like car parks or outbuildings

Whether you’re recharging tenants, monitoring energy use for compliance, or planning efficiency upgrades, we design and install tailored metering systems that give you the data you actually need — in real time.

Designed for Mixed-Use, Multi-Tenant and Complex Sites

At Elcomponent, we’ve deployed sub-metering systems across offices, universities, hospitals, shopping centres, and manufacturing sites. Many of these are mixed-use environments, where shared infrastructure and different usage patterns make billing and benchmarking a challenge.

Our solutions help you:
• Recharge tenants fairly and accurately
• Track abnormal usage spikes
• Identify underperforming systems
• Plan targeted upgrades for high-consumption areas

And because we use open, non-proprietary systems, your data remains fully accessible — whether you use our MW2 platform or integrate with your own software.

One System, Smarter Site Management
Whether you need to track one zone or a hundred, Elcomponent’s sub-metering approach is built to scale. We combine:

• Site-specific design
• Professional installation
• Expert commissioning
• Full system support

So you’re not just collecting data — you’re gaining insight you can trust

Energy Doesn’t Have to Be a Mystery

If you’re working with multiple tenants, unpredictable site loads, or hidden inefficiencies, we can help. With Elcomponent, you’ll finally see where your energy is going — and how to take back control.

In an age where data is critical to performance, sustainability and compliance, being locked out of your own energy usage data shouldn’t even be an option. Yet many organisations find themselves restricted by closed systems, proprietary software, and vendor-specific hardware — unable to access or fully utilise the data they’ve paid to collect.

At Elcomponent, we take a different view.

We believe energy data should be open, accessible and usable — without limitations. That’s why our energy monitoring systems are built on standard, non-proprietary protocols, giving you full ownership of your metering infrastructure and the freedom to adapt as your needs evolve.

Why Open Protocols Matter

Choosing an open standards-based energy monitoring system is about more than just avoiding frustration — it’s about future-proofing your investment. When systems are locked into one brand or platform, you lose flexibility. You’re tied to one supplier for upgrades, expansions, and even basic access to data.
With Elcomponent, you can expect:

• Full visibility of your data
• Seamless integration with third-party platforms
• Straightforward upgrades and system expansions
• Freedom to change providers or platforms without penalty
• Confidence in a future-proofed solution

From manufacturing plants to multi-site estates, our clients appreciate having energy monitoring systems that evolve with their business — not against it.

Flexible Integration That Fits You

Whether you want to use our own platform (MW2), export to a central BMS, or plug directly into your preferred analytics dashboard, we make sure your data is:
• Clean
• Structured
• Compatible

Our systems are designed with integration in mind, giving energy managers, engineers, and sustainability leads the tools they need to make fast, informed decisions — without the barriers of proprietary formats or locked hardware.

Transparency and Reliability You Can Trust

We’ve been in the energy monitoring business for over 40 years — and we’ve seen the pitfalls of locked systems first-hand. That’s why we’ve built our entire approach around transparency and flexibility.

From sub-metering to LoRaWAN deployments and large-scale rollouts, every Elcomponent system is engineered to:

• Deliver reliable, accurate data
• Avoid unnecessary duplication or vendor limitations
• Support open communication protocols (Modbus, M-Bus, BACnet and more)
• Empower users to control their infrastructure — not just rent access to it

No Lock-In. Just Long-Term Value.

With Elcomponent, you’re not buying into a closed ecosystem — you’re investing in long-term value. We’re here to deliver future-ready, non-proprietary solutions that give you confidence, clarity and control over your energy use.

Whether you're starting fresh or replacing a legacy system that’s no longer serving you, we’ll help you build a smarter, more open energy strategy.

When it comes to energy monitoring, no two projects are alike. Some organisations want a full-service partner to design, install and commission a complete system. Others just want accurate, real-time data feeds they can drop into their existing analytics platform. At Elcomponent, we make both possible — because flexibility isn’t a bonus, it’s a must.

Whether you’re an energy manager looking for turnkey peace of mind, or a consultant who just needs reliable sensor-level data, we build around your needs — not ours.

When it comes to metering large or complex sites, there’s no single solution that fits every challenge. Some areas are perfectly suited to hardwired CT meters. Others — like remote substations or rooftops — demand the flexibility of wireless. That’s why Elcomponent designs hybrid systems, using the best of both technologies to give you seamless, site-wide insight.

By combining LoRaWAN and hardwired solutions, we create energy monitoring systems that are accurate, scalable, and built to the specific needs of your site — not just the limitations of one technology.

One Site. Two Approaches. Total Visibility.

We don’t force wireless where cabling is simpler. We don’t hardwire when it’s disruptive or expensive. At Elcomponent, we start by understanding your buildings, infrastructure, and data needs — then we build a system that works with your site, not against it.

When Hardwired Works Best:
• Plant rooms and switchboards
• Main incomers and distribution panels
• Easily accessible internal metering points
• Permanent installations with long-term ROI

When LoRaWAN is the Better Option:
• Rooftop AHUs and external plant
• Remote substations or outbuildings
• Temporary buildings or modular units
• Areas where disruption must be minimised

The result is a hybrid metering system that delivers the right solution, in the right place, every time.

Why Hybrid Is the Smarter Choice

Hybrid metering isn’t just about convenience — it’s about:
• Lower installation costs by reducing unnecessary cabling
• Faster deployment for remote or tricky locations
• Minimal disruption to tenants, services or operations
• Maximum data coverage, no blind spots
• Open standards and clean data across all devices

Whether you're running a hospital estate, a university campus, a logistics park or a multi-building industrial site, our hybrid LoRaWAN + CT solutions provide the visibility you need — without compromise.

Built on Open Standards. Powered by Experience.

Elcomponent is committed to using non-proprietary hardware and open protocols. This means:
• Full integration flexibility
• Future-ready infrastructure
• Clean data delivered to MW2, your BMS, or your own dashboard
• No vendor lock-in

We’ve also developed a dedicated platform for LoRaWAN deployments: lora-sense.co.uk — where you can learn more about our wireless technologies, sensor range, and project capabilities.

The right data. From the right place. With the right system.

In today’s data-driven world, organisations are investing heavily in metering technology — but many are missing the mark where it counts most: accurate, reliable data. The truth is, having the right equipment is only half the story. Without expert design, careful commissioning, and ongoing support, your energy monitoring system could be feeding you the wrong story entirely.
At Elcomponent, we’ve spent over three decades refining not just what we install, but how we install it — because poor commissioning leads to poor decisions.

Why Accurate Energy Data Starts with Expertise

Energy meters are only as effective as the system around them. If they’re not installed correctly, calibrated accurately, or integrated with the right software and infrastructure, they can lead to:

• Misleading consumption data
• Missed anomalies and faults
• Under- or over-reporting of emissions
• Misallocated costs
• Wasted investment

At Elcomponent, we design every system to suit the environment it’s going into. That means considering power layouts, communication protocols, site constraints, and long-term goals — all before a single meter is installed.

What Sets Elcomponent Apart

There are plenty of companies who can install meters. But Elcomponent’s 40+ years in energy monitoring brings something most providers can’t: real-world experience, technical know-how, and a deep understanding of the data you need.

Here’s what that means in practice:

• System Design: We don’t copy and paste. We assess your site’s layout and objectives to develop a custom metering plan, designed to scale with your needs.
• Professional Commissioning: We test every device to ensure accuracy and reliability. Your data will work from day one — not after weeks of fault finding.
• End-to-End Integration: Whether you’re using our own software or a third-party platform, we ensure full compatibility and clean data delivery.
• Ongoing Support: We don’t disappear after installation. Our team remains on hand to troubleshoot, upgrade and guide as your energy strategy evolves.

Avoid the Pitfalls of Poorly Installed Systems

Too often, businesses spend budget on advanced metering technology only to discover later that their data is full of gaps, duplication, or inaccuracies. These aren’t small issues — they lead to misinformed reports, missed savings opportunities, and lost confidence in your energy management programme.
Getting it right from the start means involving specialists who understand not just the kit, but the bigger picture.

Smarter Decisions Need Smarter Systems

Whether you’re managing a single site or a nationwide estate, the quality of your energy data will define the quality of your outcomes. With Elcomponent, you don’t just get meters — you get metering systems that are engineered to work, supported by professionals who know the industry inside out.
We help large organisations take control of their consumption and deliver meaningful results — through better design, better commissioning, and better insights.

In energy monitoring, it’s easy to focus on the tech. Shiny new meters, cutting-edge comms, intelligent dashboards — they all have a role to play. But there’s one step that often goes unnoticed, despite making all the difference between failure and long-term performance: commissioning.

At Elcomponent, we treat commissioning as the backbone of every metering project. It’s where the system comes to life — and where true reliability is either made or missed.

Why Commissioning Matters More Than You Think

Even the most advanced metering systems can fall flat if not properly configured. Poorly commissioned systems can produce:

• Inaccurate or incomplete data
• Communication failures between devices
• Misconfigured sensors and CTs
• Frustrated users and wasted investment

Too often, we’re called in to fix systems that were never commissioned correctly — leading to months of lost data and costly errors.

At Elcomponent, we don’t leave until it’s right.

What Proper Commissioning Looks Like

Commissioning isn’t just a tick-box exercise — it’s a process of verification, adjustment, and validation. Our team ensures every component of your metering infrastructure is performing exactly as it should:

• Verification of installation against system design
• Testing and calibration of all sensors and meters
• Configuration of communication protocols
• Validation of data output for clarity and accuracy
• Connectivity testing to dashboards, platforms, or third-party systems

This attention to detail is why Elcomponent systems keep delivering — long after we’ve left the site.

Built on Experience. Delivered with Care

With over 40 years in the industry, we know how easily small errors during setup can spiral into big issues down the line. That’s why we’ve built commissioning into the DNA of everything we do.

Whether we’re installing a full turnkey solution, supplying a data-only setup for integrators, or retrofitting metering to an existing estate, commissioning is never skipped or rushed. It’s the difference between data you can act on and data you have to question.

Performance That Starts (and Stays) Strong

Commissioning isn’t glamorous. But it’s the reason our systems:

• Deliver clean, reliable data from day one
• Integrate seamlessly with open platforms
• Require fewer support callouts
• Maintain accuracy over time

It’s why clients trust us with everything from critical ESOS monitoring to permanent sub-metering estates — because they know we don’t just install, we finish.

Don’t Skip the Step That Matters Most

If you’re planning an energy monitoring project, make sure the final step isn’t treated as an afterthought. Choose a partner who takes commissioning seriously — because that’s where performance begins.
