Energy efficiency isn’t just an issue for the winter. To optimise your energy use, whilst minimising emissions and costs, you must monitor power consumption throughout the year. In episode nine of PASS Presents, Chauvin Arnoux’s (former) Head of Commercial Operations, Kevin Smith, explains how Power and Energy Loggers (PEL) offer a simple, convenient method of doing just that. To find out how a Chauvin Arnoux PEL can help you drastically reduce your energy bills and emissions without compromising the capability of your circuit, watch the interview above; via our YouTube channel, @PASSLTD-tester; or on the PEL 51, PEL 104, and PEL 106 information pages. Learn all you need to know in under twenty minutes!
