Energy management system (EMS)
Establishing an EMS
allows you to automatically gather the readings of metres and indoor climate
sensors, conveniently later visualise and analyse them, and create reports based
on them. The meters can be made into remote reading meters by connecting them to
the automation system or the Internet of Things (IoT).
PLANNING MONITORING
The acceptance inspection and functionality testing are carried out in new buildings to make sure that the systems work as planned and prevent problems during operation and maintenance before the systems are approved for final launch. The functionality of the automation system is thoroughly tested, its physical installation is examined, and the execution documents are compared with reality.
ESTABLISHING MONITORING SYSTEMS
By creating monitoring systems, a sufficient number of meters will be installed for monitoring and analysing the building’s energy consumption. The meter readings are connected to a single monitoring platform which allows all the necessary company employees to monitor the consumption data in real time. Limits to alarms will be set, which ensures the operational response of the maintenance crew in the case of equipment faults.
Benefits of EMS to the owner/administrator of the building:
1. There will be a conscious monitoring of costs, which creates prerequisites for reducing costs
2. The costs can be compared to the base year, and the actual energy consumption of the indoor temperature can be compared to that of the outdoor temperature
3. You can be sure that the utility systems operate optimally (be detecting abnormalities in energy consumption)
4. Data about energy consumption and indoor climate is available 24/7, which means that you do not have to take monthly readings
5. Cost comparison charts are created per buildings/consumers, etc.
6. The life-span of equipment is enhanced if they are set to the optimal mode
7. Automatic alarm settings, which ensures the immediate response of the maintenance team
8. Data from the indoor climate sensors can help to optimise the operation of the equipment
9. You can be aware of the indoor climate readings of the building and, if necessary, make sure that the required indoor climate is ensured
