Building Operations

To get a good handle on  energy consumption, an organization needs to understand how that energy is being consumed.  ManagingEnergy provides a completely integrated module that makes it easy to inventory and catalogue all the mechanical systems, electrical equipment, plumbing, control systems, drawings, manuals, blueprints and building envelope details within your portfolio of facilities.

But How do I Populate It?

If you have staff with the right skills, they could take the time to enter the information, however most organizations choose to do it in the course of conducting energy audits.  Traditional energy audits are a necessary part of strategic energy planning... with ManagingEnergy all that information is retained and used for ongoing facility management.

A Problem-Solving Tool

By integrating this module with Energy Accounting and Conservation & Renewal, users effortlessly navigate between organizing information such as equipment logs and photos, down to system schematics and equipment nameplate data, while reviewing the energy consumption patterns.  For example, suppose a real-time submeter being tracked by ManagingEnergy registers an exceptional demand peak.  Drilling down into the equipment data would expose details on the major systems capable of causing the increase.  Deeper navigation would pull up pictures, schematics, and operating practices for the equipment.  Once you have reviewed the records, you could use ManagingEnergy to share your findings, get others involved, and take the first step in deciding what changes are needed to prevent the problem from happening again.

More Useful Features

Lighting Retrofits: A massive database of lighting fixtures, lamps, ballasts, and retrofits, are made available in the system to speed up the lighting portion (a major energy consumer), and quickly identify suitable technology upgrades on a room-by-room basis if desired.
