EMS or energy management software refers to varied energy-related software solutions to monitor, manage & control electric usage in a building or an industry. These software applications and controls are designed to monitor utility bills, predict maintenance of equipment, reporting of carbon & sustainability to energy star, controlling of building HVAC & lighting as well as real-time metering. With the help of these software solutions, the building or plant managers are able to gather insights about electric, water or gas usage in their facility that allow them in taking better informed decisions on energy activities.
Energy management solutions involve 4 principal functions- data collection, reporting, monitoring & controlling. These software applications collect real-time interval or/and historic data; the information that is collected will be used to implement changes into the facilities actual behavioral patterns. Data that is gathered from EMS will be stored in the cloud and delivered upon request in real time.
The EMS is engineered to provide better detailed energy data in comparison to utility billing. Moreover, these software applications also count various external factors such as building occupancy or weather, for the reporting function. The reporting insight helps to highlight the energy-saving initiatives.
In regards to the monitoring activity, the EMS takes to varied benchmarking tools, like consumption of energy per sq. ft, weather normalization as well as advanced energy-modeling algorithms – that aid to point out the anomalous consumption of energy in a building or industrial plant. The monitoring tools help to track & display the historical & real-time data. This anomaly recognition along with energy usage data, help Energy Managers in identifying the saving opportunities.
As a part of its engagement activity, EMS works to educate building or plant staffs on energy saving strategies.
