Energy management is a widespread practice among companies monitoring large buildings, enterprises, educational, health care campuses and other complex facilities. Efficient energy management requires detailed information on how power is used. However, this valuable information is not available in facilities being actively monitored. For effective energy management, facility engineers need to understand exactly how and where energy is consumed in their facilities. There are many problematic issues in the field of measuring household electricity consumption. Manual collection of readings still takes place despite the full-scale use of electronic meters. Consumers do not have a culture of electricity consumption; there is no basic knowledge about energy consumption and energy efficiency classes assigned to electrical devices. Knowledge and tools to forecast costs and manage energy consumption are lacking. The purpose of this paper is to study issues related to the development of a prototype of a software and hardware complex for measuring the load (V) and volume (KWt/h) of consumed electrical energy.
