Energy use in offices has risen in recent years because of the growth in office equipment such as vending machines, information technology, air-conditioning and lighting in open-floor offices. It is rare to achieve top performances so that all buildings – new and old – have significant opportunities for reduced energy costs.

A small commercial building, among them offices, doesn’t need for complex installation or solution. Sometimes it requires an installation using few connected components that brings the right solution: simple and effective.

Develop simple and scalable technologies for an office building, working on design is necessary to reduce carbon emissions and meet the latest efficiency requirements.

 Among these:

• International standard IEC 60364-8-1 “Electrical energy efficiency within low-voltage installations”  

ABB offers customized solutions for your specific needs in terms of energy efficiency using different devices:

• CMS 700 measures electrical parameters from all branches
  
• ABB EQmatic collects measurements from energy, water and gas meters via M-bus, providing explicit identification of the consumptions allocation to identify waste.
• Moreover, notifications of abnormal situations to prevent overconsumptions are also possible.

All information is then sent and displayed on the dedicated web server. Both real time and historical values are available.
