ENERGY MANAGEMENT (*)
Product Features
Verisae’s Energy Demand Manager product offers a litany of innovative features. In terms of energy management, distributed enterprises collect data from energy intensive assets across the entire organization to be truly effective. This data is evaluated by energy managers to implement energy efficiency programs or measures taken to reduce energy use.
In addition to tracking real-time energy use, greenhouse gas emissions from specific energy related assets can be tracked and calculated to give a more complete picture of asset-driven sustainability. We can automate and integrate energy data sources to the asset level.
Energy Demand Manager Features:
- Open technical architecture that is hardware agnostic and scalable
- Automated data collection at the main electric meter and beyond with sub-metering
- Additional meters, including the main gas meter and four (4) additional sub-metered loads
- Meter data is posted to the Verisae application and database for review and reporting
- Pulse data is calculated to correlate to energy use and energy demand across the enterprise
- Energy data is made available, via web services to third party analysis tools if needed
- Software as a Service (SAAS) platform with centralized management via the Internet
- Single sign-on capacity for additional reporting or energy analysis services
- Reports comparing energy use and facility attributes available to energy managers
- Reports creating a projected utility bill charge tied to actual energy usage scenarios
- Reports projecting energy savings when energy efficiency projects re-engineer business operations
- Exceptions and anomalies in energy use, compared to a pre-determined baseline
- Creation of automated alerts e-mailed or delivered via RSS to energy managers
Several energy management features are combined within an enterprise energy management system, notably policy and strategy compliance tools and the creation energy scenarios to exploit energy reduction opportunities throughout the distributed enterprise. Several things are achieved with a holistic across an energy portfolio; energy reduction opportunities are visible, energy costs can be controlled, and efforts to reduce carbon emissions can be initiated.
Energy scarcity posses’ risk factors associated with the design sustainable business operations. Part of a comprehensive plan should include monitoring and managing all energy sources down to the asset level. Short and long-term energy efficiency objectives can be defined through the use of an energy management system tied to consumption patterns and supported through organizational change.
