The Singapore government aims to reduce its energy reliance by 35% from 2005 to 2030. Taking from this lead, Omnicam developed wattSense™ which comprises of a Smart Appliance Consumption Monitor (SACM) that enables users to visualise individual appliances' consumption pattern in real-time. With such a platform in place, smart energy-saving solutions can be implemented to reduce power consumption and results monitored in real-time to gauge its effectiveness. WattSense™ complements online and offline energy savings programs through instant feedback on appliance specific consumption data, thereby greatly improving programs’ effectiveness.
For the industrial sector, wattSense™ Industrial can help substantiate that your facility abides by the new Mandatory Energy Management Practices under the Energy Conservation Act (ECA). SACM monitors machineries’ performances and triggers preventive maintenance should the machine’s performance degrade substantially.
Building developers can also use wattSense™ to qualify for the BCA Green Mark scheme or to meet the Building Control (Environmental Sustainability) Regulations.
WattSense™ can be applied in homes, offices, industrial buildings, shopping malls, schools, etc. Electrical load data is extracted from the infrastructure and processed in the server using Data Analytics. Monitoring and control can be centralised or localised and linked with portable devices such as a tablet. Once energy consumption data distribution is available, the system can offer recommendations to users to improve their usage pattern. When households and building owners experience energy savings through such participation, they will be encouraged to maintain a healthy energy usage pattern habitually and responsibly.
