Cost Allocation:  
  Home | Products | Documentation | About Obvius | Contact Us

Campus and industrial facilities are often metered by one or a few primary metering points with little equipment in place to allocate the costs of energy to departments or product lines. For managers of campus facilities such as colleges, it is very difficult to come up with a reasonable method of allocation to buildings or departments. Since there is no way to provide accountability for energy usage, there is little incentive for users to manage energy wisely. Similarly, managers of industrial facilities have no way to accurately assign energy costs to product lines which limits the ability of the company to effectively determine the profitability of specific products or departments.

Using data acquisition servers (DAS) from Obvius with sub-meters for electricity, gas, water and steam, facility managers can easily assign the costs of energy to users within the organization and provide accountability for that usage. The DAS provide cost effective installation with plug-and-play connectivity and communication using existing phone lines and LAN’s.
