June 19, 2013: Continental, Lucid Provide Energy Monitoring Solution
It Combines Software, Data Logger, and Energy Meter
BOULDER, Colo. — Continental Control Systems announced that its WattNode® energy meter has been chosen by Lucid as part of an all-in-one building energy monitoring package. The solution includes Lucid's BuildingOS™ software, an Obvius AcquiLite™ data logger, and a Continental Control Systems WattNode energy meter and accompanying current transformers. Intended for commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, and campuses, the bundled hardware and software components provide real-time access to energy consumption information from any web-connected device.
To track energy expenses, facility managers are increasingly looking to bring visibility to energy use patterns, better understand point-of-use, and ultimately reduce consumption, noted Lucid. The company said this all-in-one monitoring solution provides a cost-effective alternative to a building automation system.
