What Can Submetering Reveal? – Real-World Examples

A high energy bill usually tells you only one thing: that a large amount of energy has been consumed. What it does not tell you is where, when and why.

The examples below show real situations where analysing measurement data helped identify problems that would otherwise have remained hidden.

In one case, an incorrect setting caused significant excess consumption. In another, a technical fault became visible through the energy consumption data. We have also encountered a situation where measurement helped avoid an unnecessary electrical capacity upgrade.

What all these cases have in common is that the problem already existed. Measurement simply made it visible.
