Getting the most energy savings out of your HVAC requires building systems to be capable of adjustment, such as variable speed drives or demand limiting, as opposed to simple on/off control. However, these strategies often add a higher level of complexity making it more challenging to keep persistent energy savings over time. Energy Management Systems and Analytics are often offered as a solution to this problem. This course will provide a deep dive exploration of the reality of energy management systems and how they are not a one-size-fits all system and how each one needs its own requirements and parameters for success.
Â
The objective of this course is that at the conclusion, participants will be able to:
Identify key differences between building management systems (BMS) and energy management systems (EMS)
Review fundamental EMS qualities, controls, and techniques appropriate for different users, audiences, and end goals
Explore key performance indicators and strategies dashboard configurations
Evaluate effective EMS implementation, current product availability and successful case studies in new and retrofit projects
