If you’re a building or warehouse owner, energy data logging is an essential way to identify power usage, spare power capacity, and the quality of your power supply which can help stakeholders make informed decisions.

With our energy logging surveys, Switchboard Solutions can provide you with a simple way to collect and analyse key energy usage data over a 7 to 14-day period. This information can help determine the power quality of a circuit or help mitigate the need for large infrastructure costs.

Benefits of energy data logging
  • Actionable energy insights

    Understand your building or business’s energy consumption patterns in detail and receive real-time data which will identify the total electrical power demand, its available capacity, and how clean or stable it is. This information can be used to make timely, cost-effective decisions.

  • Leverage your current power supply

    Stepping up your operations? Prepare your infrastructure for upcoming expansions or installations by understanding your system’s overall capacity and avoiding any overloads.

  • Avoid unnecessary costs

    Accurate energy data lets you diagnose irregularities like power surges, outages, or system inefficiencies before they have the chance to lead to costly system failures or downtime.

Determine actual power capacity, power load and power quality and make more efficient energy decisions to minimise spending and optimise efficiencies.

Inefficient use of power supply or receiving poor quality energy will lead to unnecessary costs. Without accurate data, it’s impossible to make informed decisions regarding what energy your building requires to meet the current and future needs.

With a portable energy data logger fitted by Switchboard Solutions, you’ll be provided with precise, actionable insights into your power consumption, which means you can make better infrastructure and operations decisions.

With a data logger, you can conduct a precise energy analysis in order to:

  • Perform a full energy audit on your system or switchboard
  • Make decisions for investments like new infrastructure, EV charging stations, or industrial equipment
  • Analyse switchboard loads to plan for upgrades
  • Compare energy savings before and after an upgrade or major change
  • Investigate overall power capacity
  • Identify recurring power spikes

    How does Switchboard Solutions complete an energy audit with a data logger?

    • Step 1

      Our qualified electrician will visit the site to install the energy data loggers on the right circuit for recording.

    • Step 2

      For the next 7 to 14 days, data will be collected every 3 minutes for a full and accurate energy report.

    • Step 3

      At the end of the monitoring period, the electrician will return, disconnect the various attachments, and remove the data logger.

    • Step 4

      Our team will upload the data to our system, and from there will analyse and summarise the results.

    • Step 5

      Based on the information, we’ll provide a detailed report and recommendations depending on the scope of your system.

    Data logging can help grow your business
    • We install 3-phase power upgrades for industrial switchboards

      Do you have a property that needs a significant amount of power?

      3-phase power systems provide a more stable, reliable, and efficient energy supply for industrial complexes and commercial spaces that have high electricity demands.

      We can make switching to a 3-phase power system an easy part of your industrial switchboard upgrade solutions.

    • Energise your system with a complete switchboard upgrade or installation

      A switchboard upgrade could be the key to supporting your growing energy demands – especially if you’re planning to optimise your energy usage but are concerned your current switchboard might not keep up.

      Our switchboard upgrade services are designed for businesses, industrial facilities, and apartment buildings that need reliable and efficient power distribution.

      Pair your energy data logging insights with a modern switchboard to ensure your electrical system is ready for the future.

    • Switchboard inspections & thermal imaging

      Is your switchboard operating as safely and efficiently as it could be?

      You might not notice it, but over time electrical systems can develop faults that can lead to power inefficiencies, failures, and safety hazards.

      With our specialised thermal imaging technology, we can identify these risks early to prevent costly repairs and enhance the overall safety of your electrical systems.

    What do I need to know about energy data logging?

    Have more questions that aren’t answered here?

    Our friendly team are here to help out with any questions you might have.

    • Is a data logger always needed?

      Data loggers aren’t essential – however, collecting and analysing the information from data logger records will provide you with real, fact-based insight that can help you make informed decisions and cut down on costs.

      We highly recommend that any building committee, warehouse owner, or commercial manager invest in data energy logging to know their true power usage and power quality to help with decision-making, which can ultimately reduce spending on unnecessary infrastructure costs.

    • How much does it cost to have a power data logger installed on our switchboard?

      Just like most things around electrical main switchboards, the cost depends on each individual situation. As a general rule, the process included in data logging includes the electrician attaching the power circuits to the logger, collecting the data, analysing the data, and then creating and providing the report.

      Our team assesses each building accordingly and can give you a quote based on a site visit and conversation around your objectives and the circuits you wish to track.

    • We keep having power outages. Will a power data logger help to determine why?

      Yes, a great way to determine why your building is intermittently losing power is by collecting electrical usage information through a data energy logger. We’ve been able to measure the usage habits of the occupiers and see when the load is too much on the main supply or capture events from faulty electrical equipment.

      This information helps our specialist switchboard electricians to provide the right solution, specific to the building and the people who live there.

    • Will our power be impacted by the data loggers while they are installed and collecting data?

      No, you will not notice any negative impact to your power supply while the information is being collected. Think of it like a heart monitor for your switchboard: the data logger simply runs alongside the switchboard and records what happens.

    • How long do you need to collect data for?

      We attend buildings on request & install data loggers for a period of 7 to 14 days to collect the power usage of the building to determine its leftover capacity and provide reports to you.

      Based on the data collected and the report provided, building managers can assess the overall electrical capacity and identify whether there is a need for infrastructure upgrades to support additional loads.

    • Why does the quality of the power supply matter?

      Power quality refers to how the power can affect the efficiency, reliability and functionality of the equipment the energy serves, and concerns how clean, stable, and consistent the supply of electricity is. Ensuring good power quality means that the electrical supply is clean and stable, leading to reliable operation of equipment, preventing damage to appliances, and optimising overall system performance.
