The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires advanced meters to be installed in all Federal buildings by 2012. The Forest Service will require advanced meters and advanced metering systems to be installed in buildings larger than 10,000 gross square feet. The goal is for facility managers to use data collected by the advanced meters to identify opportunities for energy savings. The Missoula Technology and Development Center installed and evaluated a low-cost meter and a more expensive meter made by each of two different manufacturers: Electro Industries/GaugeTech (Shark200 and Nexus 1250) and Schneider Electric (Square D PowerLogic ION7550 and ION6200). MTDC recommends that the Forest Service use the PowerLogic ION Enterprise software, which allows persons to use a Web browser when viewing data collected by advanced meters. Additional information about advanced metering is available for Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management employees only at http://fsweb.mtdc.wo.fs.fed.us/programs/facilities/.
