GridDuck measures and automates hundreds of appliances in businesses, including in offices.

Tracking your electricity costs

Do you know how much you are spending on energy? Do you know what you are spending it on, and when?

GridDuck can track your electricity consumption in real time, for your whole building, or for individual appliances. We can also take in external data feeds to our dashboard, for example from your gas or water measurements.

Example: this fuel station in Greater Manchester tracks its main electrical appliances.

The chart below shows the demand of a chiller, coffee machine, drinks fridge and fuel pumps.

You can download your data and compare it to your energy bill and business activity.

Savings opportunities in Retail

For food retailers refrigeration consumes half their electricity spend (32% across the sector). Lights account for 27%, while space heating and cooling and hot water account for 20%.

Save costs automatically, every day

Lights: How do you manage your lights? Do you leave all of them switched on when your shop is closed?

Are you heating or cooling your shop floor during opening hours only?

Example: You can set simple and flexible time switch rules for lights, heaters, water heaters, air conditioning systems and other appliances, using our simple interface. This rule is for a room heater.

The rule is “on at 5am, off at 6pm” during weekdays, off during weekends.
