Multi-utility package that marks a milestone

Elcomponent has announced that it has recently installed its 500th automatic sub-metering system. The milestone was reached with a multi-utility package provided for the West End offices of consulting engineers, Buro Happold, where Elcomponent has designed and installed both hardware and software to allow a floor-by-floor breakdown of all major loads including heating, lighting, and air conditioning plant.

Buro Happold is at the leading edge of sustainable design for the built environment, and naturally its own energy and carbon efficiency is a top priority.

The new meter technology employs smaller and lighter current transformers which are not only easier to fit into tight spaces, they use lighter gauge cables, and can be connected in multiples without any additional bulky 'summation' hardware.
