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.

 

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
