At the Schneider Electric 2021 Digital Power Leadership Summit, we presented a case study on how we had helped Argosy implement an energy management system to support their sustainability goals. The summit was attended by Schneider Electric EcoXpert Critical Power and Substation Automation Masters from across the globe, a number of which also presented case studies.

We’re delighted to announce that we won the Partner of Distinction Award for this work with Argosy. It’s always lovely to receive recognition for our work so a big congratulations to our team for this and in particular Richard, Arneil and Olivier who have been responsible for this project and presenting the case study.
 
If you'd like to read more about Argosy’s energy management system and how it provides them with energy consumption and efficiency data, you can read our blog post.

You can also find more information about the software we use for energy management systems here and power metering hardware here.

Produce the data you need for regulatory reporting after an event with Rapid Capture & Control, now available in two versions and with new features.

A huge congrats to Peter, Saatyesh, Nathan and the team at Argosy, whose property at 82 Wyndham Street has become the first building in New Zealand to receive carbonzero certification (awarded by Toitū Envirocare and NZGBC). This is a fantastic achievement and adds to the great results they have already achieved at 82 Wyndham Street which also has a 5.5 NABERSNZ rating and a 5 Green Star rating.

We’re proud to have provided Argosy’s energy management system which they use to monitor and record energy usage, and provides the reporting they need to help them verify their energy savings. Argosy have implemented their energy management system across nine of their properties, including 82 Wyndham Street, with more properties in the process of being added.

“Argosy are committed to reducing our energy and carbon emissions footprint 30% over the next 10 years. Using the Quasar energy management system, we’ve been able to accurately track electricity usage throughout 82 Wyndham Street and use the data for our NABERSNZ and Toitū carbon emissions reporting certifications. The customisable reports feature allows us to capture only the information required for a specific rating or investigation without being bogged down by excessive data which saves us and our sustainability partners a lot of time.”

Congrats again Argosy!

We’re excited to announce the release of the Quasar Portable Meter.
 
When you need to quickly collect data for decision making or to find power quality issues, a portable meter is a cost-effective solution.
 
Our portable meters gather power and energy data including high-speed transients that are often hard to capture and provide you with real-time data from your system.

Your data is sent to Power Monitoring Expert (PME) software that is hosted by us and has a variety of dashboards and reports that allow you to view your data and see trends, issues, or areas to investigate more easily.
 
We also give you a training session at the start of your hire period, where we teach you how to access and interpret your data in PME.
 
The portable meter is simple and quick to install, and although this does need to be done by a licenced electrician, as soon as they have connected the meter and contacted us to verify this, data will start to be logged.

You can find more info about the portable meter here or contact our sales team on 03 343 9150 or at sales@quasar.co.nz.

Congratulations to Arneil who is our new Senior Application Engineer in the Client Services team.
