What is BBS Professional?
BBS Professional is an Appliance Level Smart Meter and Management system aimed at medium to large companies. The system provides a meter-accurate, real-time display of individual employee, air conditioning and lighting energy consumption and its associated monthly costs. For the first time, this allows energy saving targets to be set and measured for individuals and departments within a company simply and transparently.
The BBS Professional range comprises of 13 modules which regularly report back energy usage and supply data to central analysis software. With a remotely operated switch built into each socket, an organisation can then centrally monitor the electrical equipment individuals within an organisation are using, and manage that system by, for example, turning things off overnight when they are not being used.
The system aims to reduce an organisations entire energy bill by over 10% per year, which in turn means greater cost savings and less carbon emissions.The system has in fact proved to be so effective that the Carbon Trust has installed the BBS Professional system in its own offices.
Typical applications
The range has many applications but obvious solutions would include:
- Control and management of office based IT equipment such as desktop computer systems and associated office peripherals such as printers, photocopiers and vending machines
- Control and monitoring of Air Conditioning equipment
- Billing solutions where accurate reporting of energy consumed would be beneficial - hotels, serviced office, caravan parks etc
