Facilities & Metering
Portfolio monitoring, meter hierarchies, EnPIs, power quality
The foundational layer of Meridia — your facilities, meters, energy performance indicators, and power quality in one system. Model metering infrastructure per ISO 50001 from utility feed to end-use point, track consumption intensity across your entire portfolio, and benchmark every site against ASHRAE standards. Monitor power quality against IEEE 519 and IEC 61000 standards to protect equipment and avoid utility penalties. Real-time data updated every 15 minutes from connected meters.
Key capabilities
Portfolio overview & EnPI tracking
Aggregate ISO 50001 EnPIs — energy intensity (kWh/m²), cost per unit of production, and carbon intensity (kgCO₂e/MWh) — across all facilities. Live performance indicators updated every 15 minutes from connected meters. Monitor consumption, demand, power factor, and load factor against energy baselines with automatic trend detection.
Meter hierarchy
Model your metering infrastructure from utility feed through sub-distribution boards to individual loads. Visualize energy flows and identify unmetered consumption gaps that undermine your ISO 50001 energy baseline accuracy.
Facility scorecards & benchmarking
ASHRAE-benchmarked performance cards for each facility showing energy use intensity (EUI), peak demand trends, power quality health, and progress toward ISO 50001 continual improvement targets. Maintain operational profiles per site — floor area, occupancy schedules, production output, climate zone — for accurate benchmarking.
Equipment monitoring
Track consumption at the equipment level to identify the specific machines, HVAC units, or process lines driving your energy bill. Detect degradation patterns that signal maintenance needs before they become failures.
Consumption breakdown
Decompose total facility consumption by end-use category (lighting, HVAC, process, compressed air, auxiliary) to prioritize efficiency investments where the impact is greatest.
Budget variance alerts
Set budget baselines by facility, department, or production line. Receive automatic alerts when consumption or cost deviates beyond configurable thresholds — catch overruns in hours, not at month-end.
Power quality monitoring
Automatic detection and classification of voltage sags, swells, and transients per IEC 61000-4-30. Monitor total harmonic distortion and individual harmonics up to the 50th order against IEEE 519 limits. Track power factor trends with alerts before crossing utility penalty thresholds. Analyze events against the ITI (CBEMA) curve to determine equipment tolerance.
PQ-driven equipment protection
Correlate power quality events with equipment trip logs and maintenance records to identify failure patterns. Quantify the cost of PQ-related downtime and prioritize mitigation investments — from surge protection to active harmonic filters. Model the financial impact of capacitor bank installations against penalty avoidance savings.
How it connects
Facilities & Metering is the data foundation for every other module. Carbon pulls consumption for emissions calculations. Procurement uses load profiles for contract cost analysis. Renewable Assets and Battery Storage size systems against actual metered loads. Energy Audits builds baselines from facility data. Power quality data feeds into Regulatory Compliance for grid code reporting. Every module works from the same live consumption layer.
