For over four decades, Elcomponent has supplied advanced metering systems to businesses across the UK. These systems form part of a wider ecosystem that includes energy monitoring devices, submetering services, and Energy Pro—the company’s cloud-based energy management platform. Together, they give building owners and energy managers the visibility they need to cut waste, reduce carbon output, and improve efficiency.
What a Complete Metering System Includes
A metering system is not a single product but a carefully configured network. It typically includes:
- Main meters for incoming supplies
- Submeters for departments, tenants, or specific plant equipment
- Data loggers such as Elcomponent’s PowerPack Pro
- Communication modules for data transfer via Ethernet, GSM, or LoRaWAN
- Energy monitoring software to analyse and report performance
Each element has a distinct role. Submeters capture granular consumption data, loggers store and transmit it, and cloud-based dashboards interpret the information for actionable insight.
The Power of Data Visibility
The old saying “you can’t manage what you don’t measure” has never been truer. A robust metering system allows energy professionals to:
- Track energy consumption in real time
- Identify anomalies or leaks early
- Allocate costs accurately across departments
- Support ESG reporting and compliance with SECR or ISO 50001
- Benchmark performance and track ROI on energy-saving initiatives
For multi-site organisations, this visibility extends across the entire portfolio—transforming isolated data points into a single view of consumption and cost.
Integration with Energy Monitoring Solutions
Elcomponent’s Energy Pro platform transforms raw data into insight. It integrates seamlessly with their metering hardware and PowerPack Pro data loggers, creating a full energy monitoring solution that’s reliable, scalable, and proven in demanding environments.
The integration enables automatic reporting, intuitive dashboards, and exception alerts. Whether managing one building or a nationwide estate, users can identify inefficiencies instantly and make informed operational decisions.
Supporting Submetering Services
Every building has unique characteristics. Elcomponent’s submetering services ensure that metering systems are designed and installed to capture the right data in the right places. From electrical distribution boards to individual water submeters, every circuit and utility feed can be tracked. This accuracy makes it possible to implement tenant billing, allocate energy fairly, and promote accountability throughout an organisation.
Compliance, Control, and Carbon Reduction
Modern compliance standards—from Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) to ESOS—demand precise data. A metering system provides the evidence needed to demonstrate reduction initiatives and ongoing performance improvement. For sustainability managers, it’s an essential step in achieving carbon-neutral goals.
By capturing and analysing consumption, businesses can uncover inefficiencies such as out-of-hours usage, equipment faults, or unnecessary baseloads. Small changes in behaviour or maintenance often lead to substantial annual savings.
