Update 8/25/2010  http://www.timeemits.com/FREM/FREM.htm  

 

FREM has evolved into a solar networking group.  Phil Bardsley of www.pnsolarservices.com presently offers DHW, PV, and the latest innovations: attic fans and solar assisted AC.  Two contractors are involved.  Ed Taylor (www.therealsolarman.com) and Dennis Mee (Coronado Custom Homes inc. & Coronado Solar), from Sebring.

 

I feel my FREM plan will assist the sales process by striving for energy efficiency. The Power Cost Monitor and Kilowatt meters are sales tools in this regard.  Consumers can easily be educated about their demand priorities and relevant electrical loads as part of their bill. Out of all the respondents to the FREM Ad, some 30 with electrical backgrounds saw merit in this approach to selling RE.  However, about half wanted a way to track and compare usage through the Internet.

 

Blueline Innovations and microsoft hohm have partnered to offer monitoring results through a Wi-Fi upgrade to the indoor monitor. Visit this article for more info: http://earth2tech.com/2010/07/27/review-microsoft-hohms-first-gadget/  I have also read negative impressions too.  Since the unit was introduced just a month ago, there maybe some bugs still to be worked out.

 

I invite you to call Phil 863-688-1513 or myself 863-332-5880 to participate.  We usually meet Monday afternoons at his house in Lakeland.

Begin your electricity reduction program slowly to minimize lifestyle impact.  You can always go back to where you were.  Some changes you want to keep as habit, some are discards.  Then decide what, where and when the budget can support necessary equipment changes.  Upgrade to energy efficient equipment as your budget allows.  Project new equipment costs before purchase versus keeping the old equipment.  FREM’s goal is to help our customers achieve 20% reduction within 6-months.  Good tools and documentation optimize your consumption demands and eliminate the guesswork.  Monitoring renders quantifiable results with energy usage data.

Excerpt from Home Power magazine 133, Oct.-Nov., p.88-93

 

Home Power’s sidebar article “Assessing Loads” relates to existing and future RE systems.  Anyone wanting to reduce their electric bill may apply the same Load Analysis techniques to minimize equipment cost or lifestyle change.  Referenced support material is for educational purposes only.  No business relationship exists between FREM and Home Power magazine.

 

Assessing Loads

A load analysis is a listing of everything you expect to power in your off-grid home with the power consumption and hours in use summed and averaged to estimate normal daily energy consumption. For most off-grid homeowners, a load analysis should reflect winter living habits, when consumption is greatest.

 

It’s a rigorous and time-consuming process, but necessary. For system designers, it serves four purposes:

 

1. Lists and quantifies actual loads, so the system can be sized to meet the home’s needs.

 

2. Helps identify ways to use less energy to achieve the same result, which can reduce system size and cost.

 

3. Helps identify overlooked or inappropriate loads, potential problems, and special cases, so that alternative ways of achieving the desired results, while using less electrical energy, can be suggested.

 

4. Serves as a document of record. That is, if a system proves insufficient in the future, a record was kept of how much energy use was expected. Actual consumption can then be reevaluated, and loads reduced or the system expanded.

 

For the client, a fifth benefit arises that is really the most important of all: a valuable self-education process. Most of us who have lived with utility power have taken it for granted: We use it as needed and pay the bill each month. We have had little reason to know how the energy is used: how much and for what. The load analysis process is an excellent consciousness-raising activity. By understanding how and where you’re using solar electricity, you are far more likely to be satisfied with your power system—and its limits and blessings — over the many decades you will own it.

 

Many PV system installers or dealers offer forms to help the load analysis process. For more information, read “Getting Started with Renewable Energy: Professional Load Analysis and Site Survey,” available from Home Power Web Extras at www.homepower.com/webextras. Once you have an understanding of how to perform a load analysis, you can use an inexpensive measurement device, such as the Kill A Watt meter, which allows you to plug in any AC device and measure its power and energy consumption.
