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.
