Smart Energy & Water Metering
Smart metering involves not only the measurement of electricity, gas, water or heat consumption, but also communications from the meter to a data concentrator, or cloud. Provide real-time reporting of usage directly to Facilities Managers, consumers to improve customer awareness, potentially leading to waste reduction and lower costs.
Flexibility
Direct Control can provide and integrate hard-wired and wireless solutions using a variety of wireless networks. Wireless solutions present a cost effective solution, particularly for existing buildings.
Insights
Provide real time access to site data allowing Facilities Managers and users to take active measures to lower costs, increase reliability, and manage carbon emissions. Online dashboards can be provided, along with access to generic reporting.
Access
Direct Control has partnerships and associations with international and domestic suppliers to provide the appropriate equipment and technology for your application.

Power Quality Monitoring
Characteristics such as frequency, magnitude, waveform, and symmetry harmonic distortion are subject to variations during normal operation in an electrical supply system. This is due to load changes, disturbances generated by some equipment, and faults mainly caused by external events. Identifying and resolving power quality issues will increase reliability of plant and equipment and reduce operating costs.
Janitza
Janitza metering hardware and software measuring technology allows you to record required parameters of the power supply - for more safety, profitability and high availability of your system.
Early Warning
Identifying potential issues before they become serious problems. Awareness of a problem early on, before it escalates and when it is easy to address, minimizes the likelihood of costly interruptions to operations and, possibly, avoids the need for emergency repairs during inconvenient times.
Enhanced Analytics
By analysing and monitoring power quality, a baseline can be developed to help in the evaluation of the performance of electrical components and equipment over time. Also, preventative maintenance programs can be put in place after the analysis of the performance trends using comparisons to baseline.

Meter Commissioning Services
Direct Control can offer meter commissioning and verification to ensure meters are set up correctly following installation. Each meter is commissioned to verify proper installation such as orientation and correct phasing of current transformers. Also available is the programming of networking and communications hardware to ensure that the data is properly integrated with energy management systems.
Quality Assurance
Following installation, assurance the meter and associated equipment are set up correctly and functional to the appropriate standards and specifications.
Preventative
Commissioning enables issues to be identified and rectified early, thereby preventing unplanned outages, and damage to other equipment.
NABERSNZ & Green Star
Verification and Commissioning service to confirm metering in use or installed is in compliance.

Energy Management
Energy Management is the process of monitoring, controlling, and conserving energy in a building or organisation. Effective energy management is not a short-term solution, even though some aspects can be implemented for little or no cost. typically this involves the following steps, metering your energy consumption and collecting the data; finding opportunities to save energy and using the metered data to quantify the level of savings; take action to target the opportunity by eliminating, replacing or upgrading and track progress with analysing the metered data.
Monitoring Solution
Direct Control can provide a cost effective metering solution to monitor and measure energy consumption, manage the data collection and reporting.
Cost Management
Identify opportunities for energy reduction, thereby saving you money on your utility bills, streamlining your business operating costs and improved understanding of energy costs within the business.
Energy Emissions
Understanding your business emissions is an essential first step towards reduction. Direct Control can assist by providing a metered solution and platform to

Indoor Air Quality Solutions
Wireless smart sensors and connected technology solutions to accurately monitor indoor air quality to provide healthier and more efficient buildings. Indoor air quality in buildings plays a big part in the occupant's comfort, health and productivity. By monitoring air quality, building managers can ensure their buildings meet required standards, identify poor conditions, track trends and take proactive measures as necessary. Sensors can monitor the air people breathe as occupancy fluctuates and people interact. Being a LoraWan Integrator our services include engineering, design, supply, commissioning, servicing, maintenance and analytics reporting.
Insights
Real time insights into TVOC, PM2.5 & PM10, CO2, HCHO, O3, temperature, humidity data.
Applications
Indoor air quality impacts us all regardless of where we are or live. Applications include Commercial Buildings and Offices, Schools, Retails, Hospitals, Clinics and Hospitality sector.
Wireless Integration
Ease of installation, easy deployment and scalable. Cost savings one of the major advantages to using wireless devices and networks. Easier and less costly to install than traditional wired systems.

IoT Integration
The term IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to the collective network of connected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between devices, and the cloud, as well as between the devices themselves. Direct Control are integrators of IoT technology, taking a simple approach to bringing IoT into building, recreational, agriculture management without requiring significant investment. Provides an ideal alternative for building retrofits or where fixed wired systems are costly and difficult.
LoRaWan
Direct Control offers a simple cost effective approach to bringing LoRaWan IoT sensors and connectivity into building management environment.
Advantages
Benefits of LoRaWan networks provides for ease of installation, use of private or public networks, leverage the vast LoRa ecosystem for sensors, and long battery life.
End To End
In an environment where connectivity and the effective use of data are vital business advantages, Direct Control has experience covering all aspects from the generation, collection, transmission, processing, interpretation and visualisation of data.
