Electricity Monitoring
The University of Tsukuba Electricity Monitoring System (TEMS)
The University of Tsukuba Electricity Monitoring System (TEMS) has been developed to monitor the situation of electricity usage on the Tsukuba Campus. It aims to reveal the real-time electricity usage on Campus and help save electricity. Since we need to cut down on it for the summertime, the government has limited its use. By utilizing this system, each office of the University of Tsukuba has determined to implement electricity-saving measures and monitor their results.
1 Outline of TEMS
TEMS is the newly developed database system monitoring the electricity usage of 89 areas on Tsukuba Campus every hour, and reveals its monitoring results on the web.
The data on power usage can be seen from both the monitored areas and the Map information.
It also shows the monitoring data for the past three years. The data compared with that of the previous year? and the prediction of the peak time of electricity usage.
Moreover, it is possible to view the monitoring data on the Map Information System (Google Maps) by clicking on the monitoring area.
TEMS can be viewed on the University of Tsukuba Campus website and on the digital signage (bulletin board system).
2 Purpose and Outline of the Electricity Saving Week
The Electricity Saving Week is observed from June 13 (Monday) to 24 (Friday).
Its purpose is to know the realizable reduction rate and the result of the electricity usage reduction rate on the whole campus. by implementing the ideas of each office of the University of Tsukuba.
Based on the electricity saving measures? The efforts to save electricity will be implemented in the monitoring areas during this period. The efforts will be conducted under consideration not to hinder classes. and the data results will be monitored by TEMS.
We will make the best use of this data to save electricity during the summer, from July, when the government has limited its usage.
