1 This presentation visualizes a report by Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, USA. The report aims to identify the differences between successful & failed deployments of Energy Information Systems.

2 Energy Information Systems. How to successfully deploy & save energy with them.

3 Energy Information Systems, (E.I.S) how they plug together

4 Reduce Energy Costs Detect avoidable energy use that might otherwise remain hidden. Flag up anomalies in consumption e.g. malfunctioning equipment, air or water leaks, or lights switched on overnight. Why monitor your Energy Use? Compliance Manage Targets Decision Making Supporting management strategies e.g. control costs, environmental impacts & meet the requirements of environmental/energy system standards e.g. ISO14001 & ESOS Target setting, e.g. to reduce waste per KPI by 5 % per year. Calculate energy and carbon targets rationally to reflect achievable performance often, targets are set without consideration of practical application or achievability. To support investment appraisal/decisions for equipment upgrades & retrofits. Project verification to ensure that anticipated savings e.g. from a lighting upgrade project have been achieved. Staff Involvement Provide feedback for staff awareness & input, improve budget setting & undertake benchmarking.

5 ROI = SOI (Savings On Investment) Identify energy waste Manage Demand Protect retrofit savings & generation income Verification Saves, or leads to the savings of upto 25% of your energy bills Are your Warehouse or Office Lights on out of workhours/weekends? Are there any leaks in your water supplies? Are there Compressor system leaks? Is your HVAC set-up inefficiently? Is the Office equipment on 24 x 7? Shift demand from Peak Tariff times Select the best Demand Reduction scheme to suit Optimise on-site generation to reduce export Shed or shift nonessential loads during peak times Alerts on retrofit equipment outages Alerts when generation unexpectedly degrades Alerts on budgeted baseline drift Use Alerts to instantly inform you when your investments stop working, earning or saving. Maximise energy efficiency project ROI by using historical data/costs as baseline Report on actual vs. projected ROI Identify variances to ROI projections by datadriven reporting Make sure that future ROI plans use actual before data.

6 Greater insights into energy performance Identification, justification (ROI) & tracking of energy improvements Persistent protection of energy savings over time Constant use of best practices: - Load profiling/baselining - Anomaly detection - Peak/Time of Use (TOU) demand reduction enables site energy savings of upto 25%

7 3 that can lead to 25% energy savings. key energy monitoring best practices Depth of energy monitoring Engagement. how often is energy monitored Projects initiated and managed

8 Relevance of energy improvements. High = HVAC, Lighting & Plug Load. Low = All other improvements

9 ways to maximise your investment in an Energy Information System

10 #1. Understand your site energy use & costs.

11 #2. Depth of Monitoring.

12 #3. Engagement & Expertise.

13 #4. Empowerment.

14 #5. Maximise use of EIS features.

15 #6. Practice best practice.
