Energy management for Building

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.

Buildings : invest in process rather than energy reduction
June 11th, 2009 | 4 Comments | Posted in Energy Efficiency - buildingTags: automation, Building Management System, Energy Efficiency
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.

ICT boosting building Energy Efficiency
May 25th, 2009 | 6 Comments | Posted in Energy Efficiency - buildingTags: Building Management System, Energy Efficiency, ICT, lighting control
Information Technology and Communication = a lever for value creation in energy efficiency
- BMS
Relevant information can be turned into action to improve energy performance and cost reductions associated.
- Up to 30% reduction in consumption (and therefore costs and associated CO2 emission are accessible)
- The building is one of the key targets: 40% of energy consumption
- 2 degrees gap on the temperature (hot or cold) is 15% of consumption more or less
- The indoor or outdoor lighting : 30% to 50% reduction can be obtained for same service level (lighting is an important item in the energy bill
