"EFT Energy Manager™, Ireland’s number one Metering, Monitoring & Targeting System" as featured in Built Environment magazine

Companies across Ireland are now recognising the importance of implementing an energy managemnet strategy to combat the threat of spiraling energy costs. In an incredibly challenging economic environment managers now recognise they must reduce their energy consumption to remain competitive.

There are a number of strategies businesses can implement to help reduce their energy spend and carbon emissions. They can install Heating Controls, Low Energy Lighting, Variable Speed Drives and Building Insulation as well as upgrading their Boilers, Chillers and Compressors. However, the number one priority, as advised by The Carbon Trust in Great Britain (see fi g 1), should be to invest in an Energy Metering, Monitoring and Targeting System (MM&T). This is where they will get the best bang for their buck. Many businesses in Ireland have recognised this in recent times and many have invested in EFT Energy Manager™, Ireland`s most advanced and highly regarded MM&T Systems. EFT’s software is so well received that ESBie have rebranded a version called Energytracked which is widely distributed amongst their clients.
The demand for submetering combined with energy efficiency software is expected to dramatically increase over the next three years. If you don’t measure it you can’t manage it,
it’s as simple as that.

EFT’s impressive client base from the commercial, industrial and governmental sectors include high profi le multinational names such as Google, Boston Scientific, Pfizer, Bausch & Lomb, Abbots, Marriot Hotels and Resorts and Seagate as well as some of Ireland’s best known home grown brands such as Bulmers, AIB, Dunnes Stores, Ballygowan and Croke Park.

The Operations Manager of Croke Park Stadium, Mr Alan Gallagher, reports:
“We are delighted with the installation of Energytracked at our stadium. This was recommended to us by ESB Independent Energy as part of our Cul Green energy project. Cul Green is an exciting initiative between the GAA and ESB aimed at making Croke Park a Carbon Neutral Stadium. Energytracked is already helping us achieve this by providing real time information and identifying areas of excessive usage. Our savings achieved to date have been most impressive. I find Energytracked extremely user friendly when it comes to monitoring our electricity, gas and water. This is helping Croke Park in achieving its goal of becoming a Carbon Neutral Stadium.

Energytracked has made an enormous contribution in providing the real time data that allows us to make continued energy savings at Croke Park”. N.B. Energytracked is the rebranded version of Energy Manager for ESBie.

The Manager of Energy Consulting Services, ESBie, Hilco Hakman:
“EFT goes the extra mile to meet customers’ requirements and are continuously striving to improve the product. EFT remain price competitive and deliver a state of the art Energy Monitoring System”.
