1991 - Survey Meter Recorder
Developers: Stanley D. Tomich, Mark J. Fishbaugher
This microprocessor-controlled survey meter recorder can collect electricity use data in all types of buildings. Pacific Northwest also developed a complementary software package that analyses the data the meter collects. The system enables more accurate energy use forecasts, improves rate and conservation programs, and helps architects design more energy efficient buildings. The Bonneville Power Authority uses the system to help utilities learn how consumers use electricity. We helped a small U.S. manufacturing firm gain a license to use the inexpensive device.
