The Benefits of EMS-Energy Management Systems

You may have heard the term EMS when looking into energy conservation, heating or lighting. EMS stands for Energy Management Systems. They are computer run programs that allow you to control and monitor the energy usage in a building. It also allows you to track to see how much energy you are using and when you peak usage may be. You could be away on vacation in hawaii and if you have internet access you can see how many kWh are being used at your company. We use them to monitor if there are any problems with a heating or air conditioning system. We get a warning that some things is running differently in a system before a major problem can arise.
Installing a EMS system from scratch can seem like a big cost, but in the long run it can save thousands of dollars. Being able to see how energy is being used in a building, it allows to develop strategic ideas on how to save energy and money. The more information you have the easier it is to make effective plans. Further these systems can very often be customized to exactly what you need. Not only can they be used with your HVAC, they can be used with lighting.

EMS Can Lead to:

* Reduced operating costs
* Preserved system investments
* Reduced time to install and commission
* Increased equipment life
* Lowered maintenance costs
* Quick problem identification
* Improved staff efficiency
