FAQ
FAQ’s
What is energy management software?
Energy management software enables businesses to track and analyze energy usage to become more energy efficient, lower their energy costs, and improve their carbon footprint. When energy management software uses machine learning and artificial intelligence, it can predict future energy usage and demand. This information enables action to reduce demand penalties, shift loads, and better manage energy resources. Energy management software can analyze energy usage across multiple facilities, identify poorly performing buildings, and determine areas for cost-saving and sustainability improvements. The software can also provide enterprise-level reporting and power quality analysis. It allows alarms to be set on power quality and in the case of AI driven energy management systems, predicted demand. Overall, energy management software provides businesses with the tools they need to reduce energy usage, reduce costs, and improve their environmental impact.
Who uses energy management software?
Energy management software is used by commercial, industrial, healthcare, educational, and government facilities looking to optimize their energy usage, improve power quality, and reduce costs. Software with features such as AI predictive analytics and enterprise-level usage and carbon footprint reporting is ideal for sustainability and go-green initiatives. By monitoring and comparing energy usage across facilities, organizations can identify poorly performing buildings and act on peak demand predictions in advance of a demand penalty. Energy management software is a valuable tool for any organization looking to improve energy efficiency and power quality as well as reducing their costs and carbon footprint.
Why is energy management software important?
To lower energy usage, reduce costs, and lower carbon footprint, it is necessary to understand energy usage and the quality of the energy being delivered to an organization by the utility. Energy management software provides the information necessary to manage an organization’s energy usage. Advanced energy management systems, such as the EnergyPQA® AI driven energy management system, utilize AI-driven analytics to predict energy usage, identify poorly performing buildings, and provide enterprise-level reporting to help organizations manage energy consumption. With this software, facilities can reduce their carbon footprint, decrease energy usage and expenses, ensure high power quality, and promote a more sustainable future. Energy management software is an essential tool for organizations seeking to save money and improve their environmental impact.
What types of commodities can be managed by energy management software?
Advanced energy management software can manage and analyze a wide range of utilities in addition to electrical energy. They should be able to measure water, air flow, gas, electric, and steam (W.A.G.E.S.) usage and provide usage dashboards with comparisons over time. This helps businesses identify problems with their W.A.G.E.S. commodity usage. The EnergyPQA® AI driven energy management system can identify problems such as water or air flow leaks. Its predictive engine helps facility managers plan for future usage rather than being surprised by it when it occurs.
What are the deployment options for energy management software?
Energy management software can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud. An on-premise Energy Management System requires the installation of software on local PCs and servers and is generally managed by the organization’s IT department personnel. Cloud-based Energy Management Systems, on the other hand, are accessed through a web browser and managed by a third-party provider, which can offer lower upfront costs and automatic software updates. The EnergyPQA® AI driven energy management system is software as a service and provides a secure system that can be expanded easily as needs change.
