Energy Monitoring

Case study: Long term energy monitoring using EnvirotrakTM.

Smith & Nephew

Using data logging, it was possible for Smith & Nephew to monitor long term energy consumption and view the results graphically using Envirotrak. This software tool is used to convert continuous data into spreadsheet and graphical form.

The company were able to identify 300 kWh of wasted energy during the weekends and through the implementation of better housekeeping practices, for example switching compressor's off when not in use, managed to reduce this to 100kWh, making considerable annual savings.
