Hello, my name is Steve, I am the owner of a small company of 95 people. Since 1 year we have built a new office building fully automated: it’s great! I mean, both the working comfort and energy efficiency issues.
Intelligent building : 100% building controls
Draft for a new IEC standard
At an hour when advices for energy efficiency are to be written, the challenge is to aim at completed general installations rules for electrical installations of buildings, in the way to obtain the highest possible service for the lowest energy consumption. This shall be true in new and also in existing buildings.
electrical energy efficiency, IEC standard draft
building software
About Websites referencing Energy Efficiency tools, I have identified 3 websites that reference Energy efficiency tools for Buildings. These tools are software applications, excel sheets and others…most of them are free or shareware.

I am sure you have appreciated right away this video that explains what it is about …

Cost efficient W.A.G.E.S management: energy meter is key !
(Water Air Gas Electricity Steam)
From my point of view, I think that Energy management is a major action in all Energy Efficiency programs.
If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it!
The first thing to do if we want to optimize the consumption of a building is to know, ie to measure and record in a database, all the consumptions for making analysis and having a clear vision on the division of consumptions in the building.

The increase in energy costs has raised awareness to all stakeholders of buildings that operating expenses could be a source of economy. If the approach has been taken into account in the design, it remains improvable in the exploitation phase. It is necessary to consider the building as a process, analyze the flow and can be interesting to look at the automation experience of manufacturers in order to copy their methods and analysis tools. We also call this field, Building Management System. We propose here to address the subject from this angle.

At the time of the World Water Forum that just occurred in Istanbul, Turkey, it is interesting to remind how water and energy are linked.

Information Technology and Communication = a lever for value creation in energy efficiency
Relevant information can be turned into action to improve energy performance and cost reductions associated.
“Wasting our watts. We don’t need new drilling or new power plants. We need to get efficient”
I advise you to read this paper about America’s Untapped Energy Resource: Boosting Efficiency
“A lot of simple answers are just sitting around waiting for us to execute”. Tom Reddoch, Electric Power Research Institute – EPRI.
This article is giving a good overview of the American situation: the stake is to get “the miracle juice” of what is called “energy efficiency” …. Two basic ways for that: using more efficient machinery & using machinery more efficiently.
