Abstract
Energy efficiency programs for businesses and facilities offer important financial and environmental benefits. The concept of energy efficiency is easy for businesses to grasp, but many are unaware of how to best gather energy data from their existing infrastructures to make informed energy management decisions, preventing them from operating at maximal efficiency. This session will cover technology innovations that make it possible to create a Digital Energy Internet of Things (IoT) network that connects controls and gathers data from core facility and electrical equipment regardless of make, model or vintage. Once connected, facility managers are able to control an entire facility’s equipment portfolio, execute critical power system compliance and readiness testing, monitor critical powers systems, and automate energy efficiency programs such as Demand Response. Using Centralized Facility Management (CFM), a new operational management trend, facility operators and corporate managers can monitor their connected equipment across geographically dispersed facilities and holistically view the energy efficiency and resiliency all of their dispersed operations. This session will discuss how an IoT network and CFM platform can help businesses leverage the power of asset connectivity, control, and data management to improve energy resiliency and efficiency across all facility operations.
