Target Turns to Submetering to Track Energy Use

ROANOKE, Va. --

Retailer Target has installed submetering systems by ADMMicro in more than 200 of its stores this year, a move aimed at maximizing energy efficiency throughout stores.

ADMMicro’s submetering systems track the energy used by different components of a building such as for lighting, HVAC and refrigeration, and provides building owners with real-time information on how much energy is used throughout the building on a daily basis.

“Knowing energy and other performance data in real-time at the component level—HVAC, refrigeration, and lighting systems—helps sustain our savings when retro commissioning our stores,” said Curt Puncochar, Target’s construction advisor on commissioning.

Users of submetering systems also receive web access to their data so they can remotely monitor the energy use by stores of systems. ADMMicro encourages customers to use submetering to take advantage of rebates for using less energy during peak load times and changing energy demand throughout buildings.

“Having real-time and historical data on usage and being able to react quickly will become increasingly important in the energy grid of the future,” said John Richmond, ADMMicro vice president of sales and marketing.
