The
Texas House Bill 3693 (HB 3693) was passed on September 1, 2007, and it
"...expands goals for reducing electric consumption in public
facilities to state agencies and institutions of higher education,
requires all cost-effective energy efficiency measures, and sets a goal
to reduce electric consumption by 5% per year for 6 years, beginning
September 1, 2007." This house bill also requires the PUC to establish
an energy efficiency cost recovery factor, and establish incentives for
exceeding minimum goals. This house bill also states "...net
metering and advanced meter networks to be deployed as rapidly as
possible to better manage energy use and control costs, and to
facilitate demand response initiatives.”
ControlWARE is a
distributor for power meters, and offers meter reading communications
equipment and software to extend meter data to centralized billing
systems or to Internet Reporting Systems. With our protocol converter
called gatewayMANAGER, we can also integrate with existing building
automation systems, and over 400 other protocols including Modbus and
DNP.
Our controlMANAGER SV controller has an on-board USB
port, which can support up to an 8.0 GB memory stick. All meters within
a 1.0 mile radius can be collected wirelessly using our zigbeeWARE
radios, and brought into one controlMANAGER SV controller where the
data can be logged locally every second, or be made available through
the Ethernet port through TCP/IP for an Intranet or Internet
application.
