Low energy remote intelligent monitoring & control systems and products to better monitor and reduce energy consumption

整个能源问题和减少能源消耗的必要性在全球政治议程上占据重要地位，并提高了对能源管理服务市场的重视。许多公司已经对能源效率表现出兴趣，并将能源管理作为应对能源危机的直接选择。据报道，建筑能源管理系统通常可以控制60-80%的建筑能源使用。通过优化系统，例如使其与建筑物的使用方式保持一致，可以节省大量资金。因此，为了确定可以实现的目标，了解建筑物内的当前情况非常重要。ii本项目涉及t-mac®技术增强功能的开发。目前可用的mac®系统是基于网络的能源监测和管理系统，用于远程监测和记录关键读数，并提供设备条件的实时和历史报告。该项目旨在扩展技术（先进的t-mac®），通过与所有主要建筑管理系统的接口，实现更复杂的诊断。在这一开发领域，智能将被纳入识别和映射特定的建筑特征，以确定空调和锅炉规格的最佳设置。麦蒂还计划开发监测和控制系统技术，以满足小型商业的要求。工业和家庭用户。这部分项目将包括设计和开发智能仪表光学接口，以实现现有公用事业仪表（如燃气表）的非侵入式抄表，并将读数提交给供应商。该公司建议采用自供电（基于能量收集，如直线运动，压力光，振动等）无线技术接口和智能传感器，以获得最优的成本解决方案。

The whole issue of energy and the need to reduce itsconsumption is high on the global political agenda and haveelevated the emphasis on the energy management servicesmarket. Many companies have shown interest in energyefficiency, and energy management as an immediate optionto counter the energy crisis. It has been reported that abuilding energy management system can typically control60-80% of a building's energy usage. By optimising thesystem, for example getting it to perform consistently withthe way a building is used, significant saving can be made.Therefore, in order to identify what can be achieved, it isimportant to understand the current situations within abuilding.ii This Project relates to the development of increasedfunctionality of the t-mac® technology. Currently availablet-mac® systems are web based energy monitoring andmanagement systems for remote monitoring and recordingof critical readings and providing real-time and historicalreports on equipment conditions. The project is aiming toexpand the technology (advanced t-mac®) to enable moresophisticated diagnostics through interfacing with all majorbuilding management systems. Within this area of thedevelopment, intelligence would be incorporated torecognise and map particular building characteristicsagainst air conditioning and boiler specifications in order toidentify optimum settings. T-Mac is also planning todevelop monitoring and control system technology that 11 meets the requirements for the smaller commercial,; industrial and domestic users. This part of the projectwould include the design and development of smart meteroptical interface to enable non-intrusive meter reading ofexisting utility meters (such as gas meters) and submittingreadings to the suppliers. The company proposes toemploy self-powered (based on energy harvesting such aslinear motion, pressure light, vibration etc.) wirelesstechnology interface and intelligent sensors for an optimallow cost solution.
