Abstract:
Objective Experimental animal facilities account for a significant proportion of the energy consumption by scientific research institutions;however,the energy consumption characteristics of these facilities differ from those of ordinary buildings,and thus require specialized monitoring and management.Methods A set of energy consumption monitoring systems was designed for experimental animal facilities and deployed in the specific pathogen-free-level experimental animal facility of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.Results The system achieved real-time collection and recording of the facility's electricity consumption data,and proposed energy-saving measures for three application scenarios.Conclusions This energy consumption monitoring system designed for experimental animal facilities is reliable,efficient,and user-friendly,and has the potential to guide and promote energy management programs at experimental animal facilities.
