INTEGRATION

INTO BUSINESS
PRACTICE
What is Business
Integration?
■ It is a strategy whose goal is to
synchronize information
technology (IT) and business
cultures and objectives and align
technology with business strategy
and goals.
■ Energy is essential, without it no company
would be in business.
■ Thus all businesses must manage energy to
an extent, if only to ensure its availability.

Integrated ■ Decisions relative to energy options and


opportunities will depend on how significant
the cost and environmental effects of
Energy energy are to business operations, broader
business strategy and positioning
Management considerations and, for some, new market
opportunities.
■ Increasingly, customized energy
management strategies are required to
effectively meet the evolving energy needs
of customers – whether it’s a large industrial
facility, a small business storefront, or a
low-income residence.
Energy Management
It makes sense for businesses to be energy
efficient.  And in a market where reputation also
counts, good energy management can bring
numerous other advantages.
Energy Management can:
– unlock big savings
– reduce exposure to future energy price
increases and other risks
– improve productivity
– reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
– reduce maintenance
– improve public perception of a company.
■ are software based and collect data from
an installation on a real-time basis,
tracking usage throughout every area of a
business.
■ The software will include extraneous
Energy factors that may affect the business’
energy consumption (such as the weather,
Management time of day or building occupancy) before
analyzing the data to identify peak usage

Systems times and providing reports with a


detailed breakdown of exactly how and
where a company’s energy costs are being
(EMS) incurred.
■ This kind of feedback is useful for
identifying areas within a business which
may be consuming excessive amounts of
energy and costing the business money in
excessive energy bills.
■ An energy management system is better

Energy
than hiring energy consultants because it
is a system that monitors 24/7 and does
not have human error.
Management ■ The advantages of using a monitoring
systems to control electricity
Systems consumption, is to know what equipment
is consuming more energy, if any
(EMS) equipment is malfunctioning, as well as
automatic control of HVAC, refrigeration,
etc.
■ is a system of software and hardware
elements that allows industrial
Supervisory organizations to:
– Control industrial processes locally
Control and or at remote locations.
– Monitor, gather, and process real-

Data time data.


– Directly interact with devices such

Acquisition as sensors, valves, pumps, motors,


and more through human-machine
interface (HMI) software
(SCADA) – Record events into a log file

Energy Management Reports
Daily Electricity Load Profile in High-Resolution
1.

– High-resolution of demand (in kilowatts) today vs. yesterday.


– Check or send daily.
2. Daily Utility Use Over a Month
– Daily energy/gas/water use this month vs. same daily use in month previous
year.
– Check or send monthly.
3. Buildings Portfolio Comparison Across Various Time Increments (day,
month, year)
– Performance across all buildings, or those within a group, ranked with highest
consumers first. Important: Divide by building area or occupancy for an
apples-to-apples comparison.
– Check or send weekly, or at a resolution that matches the comparison’s time
selection.
Energy Management Reports
4. Targeted Systems in High-Resolution
– High-resolution charts of specific systems which need to be monitored because
they are mission critical, high cost, or part of an active energy project.
– Check or send daily.
5. Electricity End Use Breakdown in Various Resolutions
– Breakdown of where the energy is being used within most important buildings.
– Check or send weekly.
6. Overall Utilities Building Breakdown
– Breakdown of resources that contribute to energy use within certain buildings.
– Check or send weekly.
Energy Management Reports
7. One System vs Outdoor Temperature
– Show the correlation between a system and the outdoor temperature - this can be
helpful for explaining some peaks in use of weather-dependent systems like HVAC.
– Check or send daily.
8. Weather Normalized Year Over Year Energy Use
– Show the monthly weather-normalized total energy use compared to the previous
year.
– Weather normalization shows what consumption would have been under “typical”
weather conditions - removing the factor of a super-cold winter, or an abnormally
hot summer.
– Check or send monthly.
