When it comes to running a business, having reliable energy is paramount. Not only do you want to make sure the power stays on, but keeping costs down and efficiency maximized will save you money and cut down on your carbon emissions. Instead of managing all of your business’ energy components manually, invest in an energy management system.
What is an Emergency Management System?
An energy management system (EMS) is a computer-directed program that monitors the energy demands of all of your business’ electrical components. These components include HVAC, fans, computers, overhead lighting, and other large-scale appliances that keep your business functioning smoothly.
How does an EMS improve your business?
There are many benefits to putting an EMS in place.
- You’ll have essential data on how your business functions. With this data on the energy usage of all your departments and equipment, you’ll be able to see which areas are using the most power.
- You can determine whether changes can be made to decrease your energy usage and mitigate risks. With the data produced by the EMS, you’ll easily be able to track progress in efficiency so that you can quantify your exact savings.
- You can reduce energy consumption. In today’s day and age, sustainability is a trait that many consumers value when choosing which businesses and products to support. With an EMS, you can minimize your energy consumption and market your business’ efforts to be more environmentally friendly.
- All your controls are in one place. An EMS consolidates all of your systems into one easy-to-control platform. This makes management of the systems easier, as it can all be done at one time and from one computer instead of accessing the hub of each component.
- You may see greater employee productivity. Research has proven that workers are significantly more productive when in comfortably heated and well-lit environments. With an EMS, you can ensure that their work environment adapts to changing outdoor light and temperatures so that the office stays comfortable.
- You can anticipate repairs or potential outages. The EMS will be able to tell you about how each component is functioning. With the data you receive, it’s easier to track all your equipment and anticipate when it might require a repair or replacement. By having an idea of when these issues might occur, you minimize your reaction time.
- The EMS can perform repetitive tasks. Periodic inspections of your electrical systems can be forgotten or pushed to the back burner when you have other things on your task list. An EMS can perform routine tasks such as testing or sampling on its own – so that you don’t have to.
- You’ll experience better efficiency overall. Your business model is improved when you install an EMS since you can cut costs in areas where you had previously been needlessly overspending. Your operating costs go down, and profit goes up. Establishing energy goals throughout your entire business can improve the system even further.
An energy management system can transform how you run your business, and over time it can save you thousands of dollars in utility bills.
Managing electrical costs is one way you can significantly impact your company’s bottom line.
