What is energy management?
The ability of an organisation to monitor electricity usage in its premises is increasingly important to its bottom line and ensuring responsibility to its environment. Effective Energy Management ensures that usage and incurred costs of energy are kept as low as possible while at the same time maintaining optimal standards of productivity and comfort.
Why is energy management important?
With the increasing concerns of global warming and the implications of carbon emissions, governments all over the world are looking at legislation to regulate energy use.
In Singapore, the recent Energy Conservation Act is an example of how governments are looking at energy efficiency, which subjected some organisations to mandatory reporting. On a more local level, energy management is important for an organisation to identify trends so as to assist the organisation to plan and report effectively for energy requirements and usage.
There are software solutions available for companies which are very useful in energy management monitoring which can display energy consumption down to the asset or individual device. This will help ensure that every element is optimized in operations.
How can NCS help with energy management?
NCS partners with technology partners to provide solutions that enable organisations to proactively monitor their energy usage, and to assist in actively controling usage.
The first step in any effort to manage energy use is to know how much is being consumed and where it is being consumed. Steps taken to manage use can include:
- Continuously measure and collect data on energy consumption
- Analyse the data to quantify routine energy waste
- Investigate possible savings – such as replacing equipment or upgrading equipment
- Take the measures identified and tracking progress by analysing new meter data
Our Energy Management solution enables an organisation to have up to the minute energy usage information gathered for geographical dispersed locations. The information is hosted at a central location that can be accessed via a web browser with internet access. The system can measure down to individual devices level to reveal trends that can be further investigated to pinpoint sources energy waste.
The usage is presented in an easy to comprehend dashboard that includes summary and drill-down analytical information. Should the standard dashboard not be sufficient, we are able to tailor screens and dashboards to your specific requirements.
