Energy management and energy controlling are important tools for monitoring building energy demand. Operational energy management is used in administrative buildings and functional buildings, such as hospitals, police buildings and department stores. Cities and municipalities monitor the consumption of their schools, city halls, swimming pools and multi-purpose halls as part of a municipal energy management system. Increasing energy efficiency not only relieves the burden on municipal coffers, but also helps to protect the climate.
Data Acquisition, Visualization and Evaluation
Efficient energy management begins with the recording, visualization and analysis of the current energy consumption of the properties. Aggregated consumption as well as load profiles of e.g. electricity and heat are analyzed. This is followed by an energy-saving concept, which also includes possible supply strategies via combined heat and power plants (CHP) or solar thermal systems, as well as statements on the optimal mode of operation of these systems.
During the subsequent energy controlling, the targets are checked and corrected if necessary.
