Siemens software to monitor Army energy consumption

Siemens Energy and Automation, Inc., Atlanta, was selected to provide software and metering solutions as a member of a team led by Calibre, Alexandria, Va., a management and technology services provider that specializes in defense and government work. The team will develop and implement a global Army meter data management system (MDMS) for the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center in Huntsville, Ala. The project calls for the team to track, record and report energy consumption at U.S. Army facilities for the contract term with the goal of establishing energy consumption accountability by individual facilities. The Huntsville Center is responsible for managing the execution of the Army metering program and will advise other federal agencies in complying with the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The program will use Siemens Access meter data acquisition and reporting software to communicate power usage to an enterprise system.
