1) Manual Readings Index




Overview• Mechanism to input consumption data into the system for non-automatic meters.

• Data can be pulled upon in various formats via the ‘charts’ feature.

• Provides auditable data records for the CRC.

• Data and information can be viewed by selecting the ‘Manual Readings’ icon:

Manual Readings IndexHow is information added?• Directly from copy invoices.

• One set of information per each set of meter readings on an invoice.

Invoice:

Manual Readings Index:


The reasons for entering data in this way are…

Manual Readings Index1) Facilitate the assessment of ‘actual’ and ‘estimated’ supplies at the end of a CRC

reporting year.

2) Maximise data accuracy.

The system uses a pro rata calculation to estimate the consumption per day. The greater number of readings available, the greater the accuracy of the data.

3) Allow flexibility for re-bills.

It is possible that a bill will be credited back for only one set of readings in an invoice.




What information is added?

• Invoice date: Date that the invoice was issued• Reference: Invoice number• Start / End dates: Consumption dates covered by the invoice• Meter: Either MPAN or MPR• Open / Close:

- Dates: Open and close dates of readings- Readings: Readings recorded for the open and close dates - Units: (e.g. m3, f3, kWh).- Estimated or actual: Shows whether a reading is estimated or actual

• Cost: Total cost minus VAT. Apportioned to kWh consumption where split• Consumption: kWh consumption between open and close dates• Type: Used when there are more than one reading per meter (e.g. day / night)• Preceded / Superseded: If an invoice is a re-bill it will be marked as ‘Preceded’. There is an

option to show all original invoices that have been Superseded by selecting the ‘Select All’ icon:

• Document: Downloadable version of the invoice which the information has been taken from• Related: Any related documents, e.g. a credit note for a superseded invoice• Details: Summary of entry, explanatory notes, details of who made the entry

2) Document Library


Document LibraryOverview• Allows quick and easy access of copy invoices, credit notes, and re-bills.

• Associated specifically with a site.

• Shows any invoices attached via the Manual Index Readings feature.

• Invoices can also be added without any associated information or data (e.g. for automatic meters).

• Can be accessed by selecting the Document Library icon:


3) Using the Data


Using the Data• Consumption data from non-automatic meters can now be retrieved along with data from

automatic meters (I.e. HH and AMR).

• Data can be displayed in charts, gauges, and tables using the ‘charts’ feature.

• Charts can be accessed using the ‘charts’ icon:

• If a chart is displayed as this means that particular chart is not applicable.

• Data can be filtered by:- Period: Date range- Commodity: Gas or electricity or both- Supply: Meter, franchise, site, company- Frequency: Hourly (HH supplies only), daily, monthly, yearly- Chart type: E.g. consumption, area, CO2


Using the Data - Consumption


• Shows kWh consumption over a specified time.

• Separates different energy types by colour andalso by day and night as defined in either thetariff, or manual entry.

Half hourly meters YES

AMR meters YES

Manual entry meters YES

Compatible with:



E.g. 1: Total gas consumption for a site, for a month, split by days.

- Period: January 2013

- Commodity: Gas

- Supply: site1

- Frequency: Daily

Consumption between 01/01/2013 – 28/01/2013 = 40,876 kWhDays between 01/01/2013 – 28/01/2013 = 27Consumption per day = 40,876 kWh / 27 daysConsumption per day = 1,513.9 kWh Consumption between 28/01/2013 – 01/02/2013 = 6,824 kWh

Days between 28/01/2013 – 01/02/2013 = 4Consumption per day = 6,824 kWh / 4 daysConsumption per day = 1,706 kWh

A report is also available which can be downloaded and either saved or printed.



E.g. 2: Total gas consumption, for a franchise, for a year, split by month.

- Period: Whole of 2013

- Commodity: Gas

- Supply: site2

- Frequency: Monthly

E.g. 3: Total gas and electricity consumption, for a franchise, for a year, split by month.


- Commodity: Gas and electricity

- Supply: Toyota franchise




E.g. 4: Total gas and electricity consumption, for the entire company, for a year, split by month.



- Supply: All


E.g. 5: Total gas and electricity consumption, for the entire company, for a year, split by week.



- Supply: All

- Frequency: Weekly

Using the Data – Energy Consumption


• Displays the same data as the consumption chart.

• Clusters the energy types rather than stacking them.


AMR meters YES


Compatible with:

Using the Data – Energy Consumption


E.g.: Total gas and electricity consumption, for a franchise, for a year, split by month.



- Supply: site2


Using the Data – CO2 Emissions


• Provide details of a carbon emissions for a site, franchise, or company.

• Uses the DECC Carbon Emissions.

Compatible with:


AMR meters YES


Using the Data – CO2 Emissions


E.g.: Total gas and electricity consumption, for a site, for a year, split by month.-Period: Whole of 2013-Commodity: Electricity and gas-Supply: site2-Frequency: Monthly

Once a full two year’s worth of data is available, the system will compare one year’s total CO2 with the CO2 for the same dates in the previous year. The difference from the previous year will be displayed in a colour-coded gauge:

Red: 0 % and underAmber: 0 – 9 % and overGreen: 10 % and over

Using the Data – Summary By Area


• Allows you to view a breakdown of totalconsumption, by meter.

• This is useful for showing which sites orareas are consuming the most energywithin a company or franchise.

Compatible with:


AMR meters YES


Using the Data – Summary By Area


E.g. 1: Total electricity consumption, for a franchise, for a week, split by day.-Period: Whole of 2013-Commodity: Electricity-Supply: Toyota franchise-Frequency: Daily

Using the Data – Power Factor


• Shows how effectively electrical power is being used.

• High power factor = efficient use

• Low power factor = poor use


AMR meters YES

Manual entry meters No

Compatible with:

Using the Data – Power Factor


E.g.: Total electricity consumption, for a site, for a year, split by month.-Period: January 2013-Commodity: Electricity-Supply: site3-Frequency: Daily

The value on the PF gauge is the average power

factor for the period date range specified, scaled

up by 100.

Red, amber and green guidance:

0.95 and above = Green

0.85 - 0.95 = Amber

0.85 and below = Red
