Energy Expert incorporates a modeling algorithm developed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy that uses energy interval data and weather data to generate reliable feedback about how a building is performing in terms of energy use. 

More specifically, the methodology used in Energy Expert is bin-based, where the bin is a set of values of a dependent variable (energy interval data) with which the value of another independent variable (outdoor air temperature) is associated.  To explain variations in energy use, two or more descriptive variables such as day of the week, hour of the day and outdoor air temperature are used.  The model is “trained” by collecting data and assigning it to bins.  The median of the values of the dependent variable (energy interval data) in the bin serves as a good representative value for both large and small numbers of samples per bin. This median value is the “Expected” or “modeled” energy value.

NorthWrite leverages the power and reliability of the Onset HOBO® U30 data logging system for capturing energy data in real time.   Wireless, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi models available. 
The Hobo U30 provides a cost-effective way to monitor pulse output from an energy meter, then transmit the data to NorthWrite’s Network Operation Center (NOC) where it is presented in your Energy WorkSite.

NorthWrite smart monitoring solutions are deployed in thousands of facilities across North America—linking our customers' gas, water, steam, and electrical monitoring solutions simply and efficiently.

The HOBO U30 is the next-generation data logging system for environmental and energy performance monitoring.

Features and Benefits

  • Industrial grade dependability

  • Weather proof enclosure.   NEMA 6 rated tamperproof enclosure

  • Multiple power options (Solar or AC).

  • Individual weather tight gaskets for each sensor. Gore Vent allows the U30 to breathe without moisture forming inside the box.

  • Secondary weatherproof enclosure for electronics.

  • Fully integrated logging and cellular GSM, Wi-Fi or Ethernet communications. 

  • Optional factory installed analog module to connect 3rd party sensors.   Plug-and-play Smart Sensor Technology.

  • Range of remote communications options including Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet.
  • Web access to real time data via your Energy Worksite.

  • Versatility for a broad range of indoor and outdoor monitoring applications.

  • The HOBO U30  is configurable ―over the air.  Settings such as sampling intervals, alarm levels, and notifications are all made using your Energy WorkSite and transmitted to the device.

Executive Statement

For many years NorthWrite manufactured our own monitoring hardware. This allowed us to prove that the right combination of hardware and software would bring about positive energy savings for our customers. 

In 2011 we standardized and transitioned over to the Onset HOBO U30 as our preferred energy data collection device.  Onset Computer Corporation has been producing data measure technology for over 25 years. The HOBO U30 data logger products measure and record temperature, humidity, light, energy, and a variety of other parameters.

Known for providing reliable, accurate data under tough environmental conditions, the HOBO U30 can be rapidly deployed in a range of monitoring applications, from measuring building energy performance.

 

Designed for Building Owners, Energy Managers, Energy Consultants, Facility Managers, and Energy Efficiency Program Managers.   Those who are invested in bringing about positive change to a building’s operations for real, quantitative, reportable savings.
