IoT Remote Monitoring, Control and Energy Management

Energy Management Software (EMS) is a tool designed to monitor, control, and optimize energy consumption within a facility.

This allows for more attainable carbon-neutral goal setting while keeping costs under control.

Users can combat surging energy costs during periods of high demand, reduce overall consumption within a facility, and collect sustainability reporting to remain on top of their impact.

Yes, energy management systems not only save money, but they also increase uptime and help users make more educated decisions on how to regulate their energy usage.

An EMS makes it easy to manage your sustainability targets thanks to real time data. It can also highlight areas of growth within your existing energy distribution equipment.

Understand where power quality issues might exist within your facility and get proactive insights on how to rectify them.

A reliable event management system performs four key functions: 

1. Monitoring – Tracks energy use across systems like HVAC, lighting, and machinery to identify inefficiencies. 
2. Automation – Uses data to set rules and schedules that optimize energy consumption. 
3. Reporting – Analyzes trends and provides insights into energy performance. 
4. Planning – Supports long-term strategies to reduce costs and improve efficiency. 

These functions work together to streamline energy use and drive smarter decision-making. 

ROI of energy efficiency is the combined savings acquired from energy efficiency improvements, including reduced energy usage, lowered maintenance costs, and improved productivity.

ROI is simply calculated by subtracting the total costs from the anticipated savings, then dividing them by the total costs and multiplying by 100 (for a percentage).

Using Accruent’s Observe Energy Management (AOEM), your energy efficiency ROI can be calculated across a variety of industries and use cases.

An energy management system (EMS) and a building automation system (BAS) both offer a streamlined way to manage a building’s functionalities, but there are a few key differences at play.

A BAS’s primary focus is on control of a building’s systems, automating functions like HVAC controls, lighting, alarm systems and security functions. An EMS is specific to the energy realm, maximizing energy savings and providing insights for better usage.
