FAQ
What is the likely Payback? & CO2 Savings?
Smart metering is an effective way to save energy and cut costs but every
situation is different so there are no set answers to this question all we can
offer is typically scenarios. Our built in smart meter is extremely effective for
remotely monitoring & scheduling desk power energy, therefore an essential
tool for Facility Managers, Energy Managers, IT Managers & energy conscious
individuals to actively encourage an energy saving culture.
With regards to CO2 savings – the graphical information which can be displayed
on the online dashboard can be changed to display CO2 savings.
How does smart metering work?
The smart meter accurately measures the amount of energy used by the module
and the data is sent back to our servers via the internet from our gateway and
our zigbee network.
Who can benefit from smart meters?
Smart metering can benefit any business or organisation that is looking to
reduce energy usage and thereby reduce their carbon footprint and need the
tools to be able to do this.
Is CMD Footprint BS6396 compliant?
BS6396:2008 Electrical systems in office furniture and educational furniture is
a specification which states the maximum configuration of sockets, how the
cable is run, supported and how the installation should be tested. Our modules
are built so they can be fitted as part of a BS6396 installation.
What is the typical cost of Footprint?
The flexibility of the Footprint System design is that you can make it your own
by selecting the angle of sockets, number of sockets (you can have more than
1 master socket if required), whether you require data, etc. However, there
are other costs to consider as this is a complete system rather than a ‘one-off’
power unit. Get in touch to design and cost a footprint system that meets your
requirements.
Any additional equipment required?
Gateways must be plugged into your network allowing access to the web and
the CMD Footprint Dashboard. The Footprint system is flexible for future use
and can be added to at anytime.
Can units be grouped into logical groups?
Any units that are detected on the network but which have not been added
to a logical group or zone are displayed in an an unassigned group. From here,
units can be organised into groups via the unit settings function.
