Dowds Smart Meter is an energy monitoring and targeting solution purpose‐built for hotels, restaurants and venues that want real‐time visibility and control of their utilities. It captures multi‐utility data— electricity, gas, water, renewables and even compressed air—at site and sub‐system level, presenting insights on an intuitive online portal to help teams measure, monitor and optimise consumption without disrupting operations.
Designed for the realities of hospitality, the platform supports sub‐metering in kitchens and back‐of‐house, tracks baseloads, and flags anomalies via exception alerts—so engineering and facilities teams can act quickly to reduce waste and protect margins. Portfolio‐wide dashboards make it easy to benchmark properties and share results with management.
Implementation is flexible: Dowds can install new metering hardware with full accuracy warranties, or integrate with existing infrastructure and Building Management Systems to accelerate time‐to‐value. Either way, you get a single source of truth for energy data that plugs into your sustainability reporting and ESG workflows.
To extend your in‐house capacity, choose our Bureau Service in tiered packages—Meter Basic, Meter Plus, or Meter Pro—ranging from core analytics and benchmarking to hands‐on support with exception follow‐up, custom reporting, bill reconciliation and quarterly decarbonisation strategy sessions.
Why it matters: industry benchmarks show that effective monitoring and management typically deliver 10–30% energy cost savings, with payback periods often under three years—turning sustainability into clear financial advantage.
