DESCRIPTION
Base-load analysis is a useful exercise to determine where in the building to focus time and money and it is the starting point for all our work. Once we can see the time-distribution of the energy within the building we can prescribe a course of low cost remedial actions to bring “out of hours” energy consumption under control. When a building is fitted with sub-metering it is then possible to pinpoint where the majority of “out of hours” consumption is occurring. During this presentation we introduce the topic of analysing baseloads and we show you how the Workplace Footprint Tracker can be used for performing the analysis.

What is baseload?
The minimum amount of electricity a building requires
to be fully operational
What is baseload?
Same building, another yearBaseload reduced by 200 kWh200 * £1000 = £200,000 annual savings
