We are proposing to metering a new building with a single controller. The controller has the capability to monitor each individual end use (lighting, plug loads, HVAC, water, gas, etc.). Can we meter everything on a distribution board except one specific

Hospitality-NC-v4 EAc3:Advanced energy metering

ADVANCED ENERGY METERING IN HOTEL ROOMS

Dear All,

i would like to open a discussion about Advanced Energy Metering for hotel buildings. We are working in a luxury hotel project and we are defining the strategy for Advanced Energy Metering. The project has about 200 rooms and each room has a dedicated small electrical panel with 3 lines: fancoils, lighting, driving force. Do we have to install 3 meters for each guest room (so 600 meters)?

Thank you all for the support.

Not sure what you mean by driving force? How would you propose to address the credit requirements without 600 meters?

Dear Marcus, thank you for the reply. I mean receptacle in the room (for example minibar, hairdryer).. etc. We propose to measure the total room consumptions per each floor, considering that the use of a room is not continous.

Typically  the energy modeling results are reported as lighting, fans, plug loads, heating cooling, etc. So if you lump them together it sounds to me like you will not meet the credit requirements of metering by energy end use. How could you change the metering to get at energy use by end use without sub metering everything. It sounds like this has been made more difficult by your panel layout?
