2. What is Intelligent Metering?
Radio Antenna
Meters
Data Bird Local Logger
Many complex graphical formats
No means to share with staff or students
Often no way too quickly see how buildings are perfomring as a group
Central Receiver / Data Logger
Computer

In principle: Any device can be part of as many virtual meters and buildings as you wish.
Same applies to buildings being part of as many leage tables as you wish.
