Energy Controlling -
Clear and Simple

The technology described here not only helps reducing your school's energy consumption - it also can illustrate course content relating to energy. The hands-on measurements and immediate evaluation bring the subject to life and become a vivid experience for pupils. Please contact us, we help you planning and realizing such projects.

How to use the technology in the class:

• Show how simple it is to save energy and to protect the environment.
• Operate electrical equipment with different settings, and investigate the effect on power consumption.
• Illustrate the relation between function and integral graphically by the curves showing current power and total energy consumption.
• Demonstrate in the physics class the "how" of current transformers at a living example, as well as the relation of active, reactive and apparent power.
• Extend the system by more sensors for temperature, CO₂ etc., or by any self-made measurement device.
• Convey economic understanding by also looking at the energy costs - which our software always shows in addition to physical units.
• Develop your own software in the computer science class, for processing and analysing the measurement results.
• Much can be learned by involving the pupils in the set-up phase of the project.

Example: Energy consumption of a school reduced by 37%!

Facility	School
Relative savings	37 %
Absolute savings per year (assuming constant energy price)	13.150 €
Pay-back period	<9 Months
Measure	Adaptation of lighting and ventilation system to actual usage pattern
