What is an Energy Management System?

A building energy management system controls and optimizes facility operational efficiency through integrated automation technology. This comprehensive approach manages up to 80% of total building energy consumption through strategic system control. Automated lighting, HVAC, and energy recovery systems management drive significant operational cost reduction.

Real-time energy monitoring delivers detailed performance data for immediate operational insights. Facility managers can use this information to identify and implement energy-saving opportunities across all connected systems. Integrating new and existing building automation systems ensures maximum value from every efficiency improvement.

Historical data shows energy cost reductions reaching 30% within the first ten years of system implementation. Aging facilities and buildings with deferred maintenance often surpass these savings through targeted system optimization. Powerful energy management software packages monitor and control performance. This helps maintain peak efficiency while revealing additional opportunities for operational improvement.

Buildings Work Better With an EMS

Energy management control systems optimize your facility’s performance by delivering a wide range of benefits:

Reduced Energy Consumption

An energy management system can control upwards of 80% of the total energy that your building consumes.

Improved Occupant Comfortability

Increased control allows for optimizing critical quality-of-life systems, such as HVAC and lighting.

Optimized Operating Costs

EMS systems can automatically adjust on the fly to balance energy consumption with operational demands.

Increased Equipment Lifespan

Continuous system monitoring identifies potential issues before they become expensive equipment failures.

Lowered Energy Expenses

Predictive maintenance decreases energy bills without disrupting employee productivity.

Enhanced Tenant Productivity

“Smart Room Control” of HVAC, lights, and security helps to create a positive and sustainable environment.

Employee Productivity vs. Energy Savings

Workplace performance directly impacts your bottom line. Learn how the 2-20-200 rule balances employee comfort with energy savings.

Energy Management Services & Details

MACC can provide your building with a wide range of energy management services, including:

  • Energy reduction, control data analysis, and implementation
  • Energy management strategies and solutions that don’t sacrifice comfort
  • Energy resource measuring and monitoring
  • Annual energy management monitoring and maintenance services

EMS Integrations

Energy management systems (EMS) can integrate with various other systems, including HVAC, lighting, security, ventilation, air purification, air handlers, and sterilizing/sanitizing systems. This integration allows for more efficient and centralized management of a building’s functions.

For example, security sensors can inform the lighting system that people are entering a room, which will turn on the lights. Additionally, occupancy detection at the front entrance triggers the HVAC system when the morning shift enters the building.

EMS systems are increasingly wireless and cloud-based to enhance system connectivity. Cloud integration enables customized facility control. Facilities gain precise management of temperature, lighting, and energy needs based on occupancy, weather conditions, and sunlight.

Become LEED-Certified

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is one of the most widely used and recognizable green building systems. Getting a LEED certification adds immense value to your building through the following renewable energy benefits:

Reduced outdoor pollution—A LEED-certified building can help reduce outdoor pollution. This is especially important in highly industrialized areas.

Healthier indoor air—Poor-quality indoor air can lead to allergies, stress, depression, and increased absenteeism. Increase the productivity of your workers by providing them with healthier indoor air courtesy of a LEED-certified building.

More energy-efficient building management—LEED certification offers a comprehensive framework to reduce energy-consuming processes for improved performance and efficiency.

MACC can help you become LEED-Certified and offers the following LEED-related services:

  • LEED certification
  • Greener building operations through trained professionals
  • Analyze the cost impact of LEED certification requirements and goals
  • Propose cost-effective energy management solutions to move you towards becoming LEED-certified

So far MACC has converted 4 of our buildings from Staefa controls to Tridium N-4. Their sales, engineering, installation, and service personnel both during and since these projects have been outstanding. They are a group of people that have had many years in the HVAC field so they know how systems are supposed to work and have made many upgrades in the logical programming to make our system much more efficient and user friendly which is far over what we would have imagined. The staff has been more than willing to listen to us as customers and combining our suggestions along with theirs to give us a product that has been seamless, flawless, and just plain works! So far this has been a great experience and a looking forward to working with MACC in upcoming projects soon to take place. I am willing to talk to anyone anytime to answer questions you might have about our experience. MACC can get you in touch with me.Paul Sexton Building Systems Superintendent County of York
