Without sacrificing facility operations, you can decrease utility consumption and overall costs by simply making an effort to diligently monitor, control and conserve energy use. There are quite a few energy management techniques that can pay off. We at Advanced Electric Solutions Corp have prepared a few strategies that can be used to increase efficiency while defeating potential costly challenges.
Monitor Real Time Energy Usage
A wide range of unknown challenges associated with building use, occupancy, and peaks in utility usage can be exposed with proactive, real-time data management. With the assistance of a comprehensive metering system for a data center customer, for example, your facility can monitor everything from air and water flows to electrical demand and supply to learn specific details. With this real time data, you can identify the buildings’ potential issues and implement corrective actions to prevent critical shutdowns and manage the overall system.
Diligently Manage the Measurable Energy
To gather real time data, use advanced metering and energy management systems (EMS). This will allow you to address specific issues and get accuracy on the details. An energy dashboard that manages the overall facility while actively engaging the occupants can be a useful tool. In real time, if not hourly, the sophisticated metering system featuring the proper EMS software will automatically collect, process, and format these data point.
In Office Electricity Consumption & Energy Management
To build a strategy that manages costs and consumption on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis with the collected data. To limit customer loads during peak hours and reduce costs, consider implementing load shifting and demand limiting systems. There are countless benefits by managing consumption, which include the early detection of improper schedule misalignments, set points, equipment and/or system failures. Pinpointing leaks, abnormalities, and excessive run times is helped by analyzing trends of metered points over days, weeks, months, and years. With the proper data you can find the energy and water waste.
Energy Strategic Planning
It is a difficult to make a meaningful impact without a clean direction a plan. For substantial results, a holistic plan is vital to leverage overall savings and provide a mix of improvements. Bundling low hanging fruit, like the lighting and building automation, measures with longer paybacks such as renewable energy for instance, which frequently benefits facility leaders. For the facility’s goals and financial requirements, the plan can evaluate all possible savings including energy, water, waste, and system/facility reliability to package the appropriate measures.
Implement an Occupant Behavioral Awareness Program
Building retrofits and technology installation are a portion of equation. A significant impact on a building’s efficiency and investments made is from the occupants. To help increase energy savings as they, education plays a bog role to the behavioral process, and empowering occupants with knowledge and resources can make an overall impact on the impact through efficiency or financial gain.
