Energy metering, monitoring and control technology systems reduce energy consumption—directly, through improved control and, indirectly, by making energy consumption "visible" without requiring staff to read meters. They also enable benchmarking of energy usage and assist in the identification and evaluation of energy efficiency opportunities. The combined effect of motivating staff and revealing energy consumption patterns often leads to no-cost savings.

Recent developments in communications technology have helped bring costs down, making advanced metering a more viable proposition for medium-sized businesses. Advanced energy-metering systems link into control technologies to provide flexible, sophisticated control of energy-using systems according to varying conditions. They also improve control accuracy, including production yield, quality and consistency.
