Introduction
The HMIPQA+™ solution also enables facility managers to track usage for commodities other than energy. It supports multiple third party measurement equipment and protocols. It offers a one-stop solution for managing a commercial building’s resource consumption.
Implement a Customizable SCADA Application to Manage and Optimize Energy Usage
Energy is one of a commercial building’s biggest expenses. Managing energy usage is therefore an important aspect of reducing costs and maximizing profits. Additionally, maintaining high power quality is essential for commercial building owners, since poor power quality can negatively impact tenant satisfaction. In a competitive industry, ensuring customer’s needs are met is essential to the bottom line.
EIG’s energy management solutions, the HMIPQA+™ SCADA application and the EnergyPQA.com® AI driven energy management system, offer commercial building owners and managers multiple ways to proactively identify potential power issues and optimize energy usage. Implementing a SCADA application that is customized to a specific commercial building’s needs allows facility managers to track their energy usage in all areas of the facility and to act when problems are indicated.
- View real time usage in a centralized location to gain control over all aspects of a facility’s energy use and power quality.
- Perform customized reporting of critical energy management and power quality issues.
- Perform detailed root-cause analysis of power quality events.
- Log historical data for trend analysis and capacity planning.
- Identify inefficiencies and prioritize areas for energy savings opportunities.
- Analyze historical trends to help predict potential issues.
Identify Wasteful Facilities and Circuits to Improve Energy Efficiency
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates typical commercial buildings waste 20% of energy consumed. Poorly performing buildings use up to seven times more energy than highly energy efficient buildings. Increasing energy efficiency is not only beneficial for a building’s bottom line but it also helps to reduce a facility’s carbon footprint.
EnergyPQA.com® transforms traditional energy management by identifying the most energy wasteful facilities and circuits to maximize energy efficiency improvements.
- Automatically grade facilities and circuits for energy efficiency using smart analytics.
- Identify least efficient facilities and the potential savings from improving them.
- Focus on facility circuits most in need of improvement.
Since energy efficient buildings can consume up to 85% less power, identifying poorly performing facilities and circuits is essential to reduce energy use and costs.

Use Artificial Intelligence to Predict Energy Usage into the Future
Reduce Costs with AI-based Predictions
The EnergyPQA.com® energy management system’s AI-based energy predictions provide insights into building energy trends into the future. By looking at future predictions, a facility manager can be proactive to make sure that energy reduction programs will be successful. The system uses historical energy readings and future weather forecasts to provide usage and demand before they occur, at all metered points.
- Accurately predict demand and energy usage into the future with advanced AI and machine learning.
- Take action on peak demand predictions in advance of penalty.
- View energy dashboards that detail energy usage and demand across facility areas and provide insightful usage analysis.
The system emails notifications of new predicted peak demand up to three days in advance. Since demand charges can be as high as 50% of a facility’s actual energy bill, this information can yield significant savings. Use the EnergyPQA.com® energy management system’s predictive energy usage dashboards to judge the success of demand mitigation efforts.
Grade Facilities and Circuits to Improve Electrical Reliability
Industry studies show that up to 40% of all downtime is power quality related and that 80% of these issues originate within the facility. The EnergyPQA.com® energy management system provides comprehensive power quality analysis on all metered points.
- Automatically grade facilities on best to worst power quality risk.
- Identify specific circuits in worst facilities to provide simple meaningful actions to improve reliability and safety of the power system.
- Gain deep insights into all aspects of the facility’s voltage reliability and power quality with extensive dashboards and customizable reporting.
- Easily view power quality waveforms, voltage sags and swells, current faults, THD, power factor, and limit alarms.

Easily Manage Tenant Billing and Drive Tenant Conservation Behavior
One of the best methods of controlling commercial building energy usage and reducing costs is submetering. Submetering alone has been shown to result in energy savings of up to 18%. By installing EIG’s high accuracy revenue meters in tenant offices and common areas, commercial building owners are able to accurately assess the energy used in different parts of the building. They can then bill tenants for their actual energy usage, rather than square footage billing, using the HMIPQA+™ or EnergyReporterPQA™ applications. Not only is this a fairer way to allocate costs, it has the effect of giving tenants ownership of their electrical usage. When they see how much energy they are using and the cost of it, they are motivated to implement energy savings programs. This helps to reduce the total energy usage of the building. And by submetering common areas, building owners can also identify opportunities for energy savings, e.g., installing smart lighting that automatically turns off when no one is in a common area, such as a lobby.
