Energy management and information systems proved valuable in a four-year study of their implementation…
“Energy information systems use smart meters to find energy waste, while fault detection and diagnostics tools detect and prioritize faults in your HVAC system. The systems analyze information from sources like interval meters, weather stations, your BAS and IoT devices will allow you to look for trends and usage spikes that shouldn’t be happening – for example, a chiller that runs at night when the building is unoccupied. You can then address these sources of energy waste to save money.”
Unoccupied areas are like energy vampires: expending heat energy (and nervous energy!) when it may not be needed. But how would you know when it’s needed? By installing a Salamander Reservoir, of course!
