"I had to justify expenditure on the new smart meters, and needed to demonstrate savings on existing ongoing projects.
This was fairly easy to do, as I will now have extremely accurate information about the energy consumption at our sites across the city.
I anticipate that this information will prove that the changes made are saving money, and helping the Council to meet its environmental responsibilities too."

Bglobal offers a range of solutions for collecting data from a variety of utilities including gas and water alongside electricity. By adding data hub devices to our electricity
smart meter the meter is able to store multi-utility profile data ready for remote collection at the same time as the electricity data is retrieved. Bglobal’s multi-utility solution is very cost effective when collecting other utilities because separate meters or data loggers are not required and the data is collected on the same stream.
To collect gas readings we use a range of tools, for example we may connect an ATEX approved radio device to the available operational pulsed outputs of an existing gas meter. To collect water readings we may connect an approved radio device to the available operational pulsed outputs of the existing water meter. The radio devices transmit the gas and water consumption using low power radio frequency to the data hub electricity meter for onward transmission to Bglobal Metering’s data centre. In this way we utilize a single mobile network SIM card and modem to bring back all of the energy data for each site reducing the overall communications costs. We can bring up to seven multi utility data streams back through one electricity smart meter.
The half hourly gas and water profile data is retrieved from the meters and will be provided to the customer via a web connection or alternatively the customer can take advantage of Bglobal’s own web based M&T
energy management software package.
