Virtual Energy Management

Virtual Energy Management (VEM) is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for optimizing your business’s energy use and reducing costs. By leveraging advanced data analytics, our team identifies key opportunities for savings that create a customized, cost-effective strategy for continuous improvement. 

Effective VEM is built on three core elements:

  1. Process and Asset Optimization: Ensuring that your existing systems and equipment are operating at peak efficiency.
  2. Out of Hours Optimization: Fine-tuning the use of equipment to ensure it is only running when necessary, minimizing wasted energy.
  3. Technological Enhancements: Deploying cutting-edge devices and technologies that further boost energy efficiency and unlock additional savings.

 

By focusing on these critical areas, VEM provides a proactive approach to energy management, helping your business use less energy, pay less for it, and move toward a more sustainable future.

Below is an example of how Virtual Energy Management (VEM) delivers tangible results using data from a single HVAC unit in an office building.

On the left side of the image, you can see the energy consumption baseline when we first benchmarked the building’s energy use. A noticeable drop occurs about one-third of the way through our process. This significant reduction was achieved simply by adjusting the thermostat by just one degree. That small change made the system run about 50% more efficiently.

Further, continuous monitoring revealed that the HVAC unit was running 24/7, even outside of regular operating hours. By optimizing the schedule to run only when the building was occupied, we achieved even greater energy savings, as shown on the right side of the image

This example clearly demonstrates the power of process and out-of-hours optimization. Remarkably, these reductions were accomplished without any additional costs or disruptions to the building’s operations. Potential additional savings can be realized with technological enhancements, such as devices that improve efficiency even further | See More >
