| 1432234 | 2017-02-26 01:11:00 | Hi. In hubby's company, they wanted to implement energy management system so they could identify energy saving opportunities. Along with the benefits to the environment, successful energy efficiency projects also typically improve a company’s overall efficiency. What do you think are the long term benefits of an energy management system? He need answers to present to the company. He listed a few but he wanted to make sure he doesn't miss a thing. Thanks in advance! :) | reamslovenly (17283) | ||

| 1432236 | 2017-02-26 02:15:00 | Mostly common sense is all you need, having a system in place is really just a way of managing employee carelessness (leaving lights on, A/C running etc). At our office the policy is the last one out the door turns off the lights and air conditioning, there really isn't much more we can do to save energy. We had a timer and motion sensor installed in the toilets so that light only goes when someone is in there. Otherwise an audit of what's running and what needs to be maybe along with some power measurements with a watt meter. Some things are difficult to calculate and will cause arguments. Is shutting a PC down every night enough of a power saving to mitigate the extra wear on the hardware and time taken to boot up and log in every morning? You'll get disagreements over points like that no matter what the policy is. Some people mistakenly believe running A/C 24/7 is more efficient than only using it when you are present (not even close) and that's an easy one to disprove. |

It is really an important reminder for us to know these things. Anyway, I have one last question regarding providers that offer extra services (www.ecova.com) to most companies. Do you think this can add help? And have you tried this before? :) |
