Benefits of Sub-metering:
· Accurate and detailed energy consumption pattern is available.
· Real time power consumption data available.
· Comparison of power consumption of similar facilities/utilities.
· Forecasting of future energy demand from the available data.
· Very useful in periodical maintenance.
· Valuable data during energy audits.
· Specific energy consumption of a product/service can be easily calculated.
· Data available for comparison of pre and post energy conservation measures.
· Breakdown of energy flows.
