Building owners, facility managers, and occupiers should be able to meet changing energy management demands in a way that makes sense, and to create a future-focused intelligent building energy management system, selecting the correct technology is crucial.
Fremont, CA: Intelligent building energy management systems (EMSs) have a bright future ahead of them. Many of the measures for reducing carbon footprints are already in place. Building owners, facility managers, and energy managers may get a head start on developing energy management systems that are both financially and environmentally sound in the long run by looking forward. Intelligent building energy management systems will almost certainly strive to improve energy efficiency in the future. On a big scale, this means that building energy management systems will most likely control areas of cities via microgrids that use renewable energy generated on-site or nearby, as well as incorporating energy-saving materials.
Individual building owners must implement smart technologies and methods to create a smart building management system such as:
Analytics
While analytics in an energy management system can serve a variety of objectives, one of the most important is energy usage management. As more data is collected by analytics software and smart devices, the data becomes more detailed, allowing the software to study and solve more complicated problems. In a word, the more energy management data collected, the more detailed the questions the energy management system can assist in answering.
Sensors for environmental quality and occupancy
Traditional building systems' metering and HVAC functions will be replaced by energy management systems. Environmental quality sensors will be crucial in this process. Objective data on environmental conditions, such as indoor air quality, can help address health and safety concerns while also assisting with energy management.
Active command and control
As businesses seek more flexible workspaces and consumer habits evolve, active command and management of energy-consuming systems will become increasingly crucial. An intelligent EMS should enable building owners to more effectively control building equipment and reduce energy usage during low-traffic hours while ensuring that occupants have what they need when they need it.
