Elster and ENER21 have announced they will collaborate on real-time energy monitoring solutions. Elster’s EnergyICT EIServer Project Tracking system combined with ENER21’s Energy Management Information System (EMIS) will facilitate monitoring and verification of usage data for continuous commissioning in large-scale energy projects.

According to Elster, “the energy data will enable organizations to verify their return on investment of efficiency projects, automating calculations and assisting the process behind the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) to increase energy contracts and financing opportunities.”

Claude Godin, president of EnergyICT in North America, says, “The EnergyICT and ENER21 combined offering is ideal for large, multi-site organizations that want to implement energy efficiency programs and require reliable, verifiable data to justify the deployment. With our continuous commissioning capabilities, EnergyICT provides customers with ongoing monitoring, tracking and reporting of efficiency projects, enabling a quick response to maintenance needs and ensuring maximum energy savings. ENER21 provides meter and system integration and creates a turnkey measurement and verification plan, all of which enables customers to save time and valuable resources on IPMVP reporting requirements.”

EnergyICT’s EIServer Project Tracking module detects, quantifies, and verifies savings from energy-saving projects. ENER21’s solutions provide real-time access to energy spending and consumption information, enabling the EnergyICT EIServer to analyze the information and produce detailed reports for improving energy efficiency.

Julien Milot, executive director of ENER21, notes, “In today’s economy, securing financing for energy efficiency and performance contracting requires increasingly stringent verification of consumption data. The EnergyICT and ENER21 solutions will provide customers with greater visibility and control of energy usage to cut cost, reduce consumption and increase investor interest in efficiency projects.”

Elster is one of the world’s largest electricity, gas and water measurement and control providers and has one of the most extensive installed revenue measurement bases in the world, with more than 200 million metering devices deployed over the course of the last 10 years.
