Outcome Summary

  • 8% reduction in energy costs at the Ahmedabad campus
  • Avoided heavy penalties by revising contract demand from 1500 kW to 1800 kW
  • Achieved a 13% reduction in Scope 1 emissions (2016–2018)

The Challenge

The Ahmedabad campus faced monthly electricity costs of INR 1 crore and strict penalties for exceeding its 1500 kW contract demand. Ecolibrium was brought in to provide comprehensive energy monitoring. The solution enabled real-time identification of consumption hotspots, contract demand management, and predictive maintenance, helping optimise energy costs and avoid hefty penalties.

The Solution

Ecolibrium’s consultants first conducted a detailed facility survey, then deployed Ecolibrium’s SmartSense as a wireless monitoring system across 20 locations, fully retrofitted with existing sensors and requiring no office shutdown. The system covered the main feeder, floor-wise loads, and key utilities such as pumps, chillers, and AHUs, with all data syncing seamlessly onto Ecolibrium’s SmartSense platform.

We monitored power feeders, pumps, chillers, AHUs, energy meters & monitoring panels. Operational excellence, energy management and CO2e tracking are the solutions implemented to resolve the challenges.

The Outcome

At the Ahmedabad campus, the deployment of Ecolibrium’s SmartSense enabled an 8% reduction in energy costs and helped avoid heavy penalties by revising contract demand from 1500 kW to 1800 kW. Additionally, the initiative achieved a 13% reduction in Scope 1 emissions between 2016 and 2018, underscoring significant progress in both cost savings and sustainability.

The Impact

Ecolibrium’s SmartSense was deployed seamlessly across 20 locations at the Ahmedabad campus, monitoring feeders, floor-wise loads, pumps, chillers, and AHUs without disruption. The system delivered real-time energy monitoring during peak and off-peak hours, empowering facility managers with alerts and customised dashboards.
