Electricity monitoring
Electricity use is followed from the supply into the buildings in scope, so consumption can be read against a place and a period rather than as one undivided total.

Text version of this diagram
A supply point on the left with two paths running to three simplified buildings: one path for electricity, one for water. The selected resource is highlighted and its monitoring points are marked.
- Electricity monitoring. Electricity use is followed from the supply into the buildings in scope, so consumption can be read against a place and a period rather than as one undivided total. Project record: Resource — Electricity; Period — 2025; Scope — Utility monitoring.
- Water monitoring. Water is followed the same way. Keeping the two resources separate matters, because the questions a team asks about water are rarely the questions it asks about electricity. Project record: Resource — Water; Period — 2025; Scope — Utility monitoring.
- Monitoring in its development context. Both resources were in the Hapis scope for Ferney Smart City. The value of monitoring at development scale is comparison: one building against another, one period against the last. The drawing shows where monitoring sits in a development, not the metering arrangement at Ferney.
Two utilities
Electricity and water, monitored across the development
Hapis provided electricity and water utility monitoring across the Ferney Smart City development in 2025.
A utility reading is useful when its resource, location and period are understood together. In a development, those relationships decide which questions the monitoring can answer.
What a utility reading needs around it
A number on its own rarely settles anything. These are the relationships that make one useful.
A resource
Electricity and water are read, billed and investigated differently. Keeping them distinct keeps the record honest.
A place
A reading belongs to a building, a connection or a part of a development. Without that, a change cannot be traced back to anything.
A period
Comparison needs a defined period: this week against last week, this month against the same month last year.
A reader
Someone has to act on the information. The view is designed around the person responsible, not around the meter.
Define your monitoring requirements
Tell us which utilities you need to monitor, where the information originates and who needs to review it. We can assess the available metering and the view your team requires.
- The utilities in scope, and whether they are billed on.
- The meters already installed, and how they are read today.
- The buildings or connections that have to be separated in the record.
- The team that reviews the information, and how often.
