Shadow Monitoring

The Problem This Solution Solves

DoD does not have timely and comprehensive installation level data for electricity, natural gas, and water consumption for effective decision making to execute EO 14057 sustainability requirements. The goal is to Installs inline parallel meters or “shadow meters” at the fence line at installations that can reflect total installation usage.

The Solution

Schneider Electric has completed the following scope of work for implementing Shadow Metering at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort. The project was implemented as part of a 4-site pilot project led by the Department of Defense Sustainability initiative to measure, centralize, track, and ultimately improve utility energy consumption across the DoD’s portfolio of installations across the country. The requirement of the project at MCAS Beaufort was to implement electrical metering at specific locations around the base to shadow the total energy being provided by the various utilities for those services. Towards that end, successful execution of

the project required Schneider to complete the three key objectives as stated below:


● Assess meter hardware and associated required accessories.

○ Determine/Design additional metering required to obtain total energy usage.

○ Determine/Design communications and IT infrastructure changes needed to

obtain the new/additional metering data.


● Installation of onsite meter and delivery of commissioning services.

○ Install the additional meters and IT infrastructure per the design.

○ Fully test the additional meters and IT infrastructure per the design.


● Integration of meter data into existing AMRS.

○ Meter data for new meters integrated into the existing AMRS for total energy

usage.

○ Total energy usage data exported and shared to the Advana data warehouse

application.
