If you own or manage a building that’s been around a while—whether it’s a school, hospital, manufacturing facility, retail store, office building, or any other physical space—it’s safe to assume that it’s not as energy-efficient as it could be. Commercial buildings have been found to waste, on average, 30% of the energy they consume; unless you’ve taken steps to address this loss (other than using a traditional building management system—or BMS), your efficiency rate likely isn’t far off.
But what about new construction? Today, there are more ways to “bake in” energy management tools from the start that afford better control over energy use—one of which is a building energy management system (BEMS).
How does BEMS compare to traditional building management systems? Are these two systems representative of the latest that technology has to offer? If you’re investigating the latest, most effective ways to handle energy management in new or existing buildings, you’re in the right place. In this article, we’ll explain your options, from traditional building management systems to BEMS to the Internet of Things (IoT). We’ll also try to clarify the future direction of the industry, so you can put your building in the best position to optimize all facets of your building operations—energy, air, and water—going forward.
IoT-Based Analytics Platforms: Building Energy Management Solutions For The Future
IoT-based analytics platforms are the latest evolution in energy management for commercial buildings. More than a control system since the IoT actually complements traditional building management systems, an IoT-based platform gives facilities managers an unprecedented level of insight into their building systems, allowing them to proactively control operations, as well as the overall building environment. Knowing where, when, and how their building is consuming energy allows facilities managers to adopt load-shedding schedules to reduce energy demand (and thus utility costs) actively and strategically.
Using wireless IoT sensors placed throughout your building, you can collect real-time, detailed information about your commercial building’s energy consumption. These sensors can monitor various operations remotely, including:
Individual machinery
Lighting
HVAC
Ventilation systems
Refrigeration units
Hot water systems
Heat pumps, and more
Are you looking for a building energy management system—or an IoT partner who can help you better manage your entire building?
If you’re looking for a basic energy monitoring and control system, BEMS might be the right choice for you. If you’d rather learn about a different approach to building management—one that’s IoT-based and uses advanced analytics to help you control every aspect of your building—then talk to us at IotaComm™.
Our IoT solutions can be deployed on a small scale and are retrofittable and cost-effective, giving you the exact data you need for energy management throughout your building. You can be up and running quickly—you’ll have data to review in just days—and we’ll help you interpret the analysis produced by our platform and make recommendations for improvements.
