Energy management is essential to achieve actions to improve energy consumption and save the resulting costs.

To this end, it is decisive to use appropriate tools that facilitate the identification and quantification of all those significant aspects that can be improved, that allow an exhaustive analysis of them, and that can even simulate different scenarios to be able to discern between possible alternative solutions, either at the level of the infrastructure itself or the prices contracted with each supplier. In addition, new energy regulations and the upward trend in energy costs make it increasingly necessary to control this expense like any other in the company. “WHAT IS NOT MEASURED, CANNOT BE IMPROVED.”

At the same time as measuring consumption, energy monitoring and management help to reduce energy costs, preventing unwanted consumption through user-configurable alert programming, thus allowing the anomaly to be detected in the shortest possible time.

There are energy management platforms that allow the consumption data of different buildings and/or sectors within them to be organised in a single environment, offering the following features:

• Verification of energy saving measures adopted.
• Definition of alerts.
• Cost analysis.
• Comparison of consumption by periods and calculation of deviations from the budget.
• Definition of Consumption Ratios (per unit of product, m2, service…)
• Personalized Reports (Optimization of production processes, Carbon Footprint (CO2).

PROINER, KNX Official Partner, offers its customers the development of the monitoring and control system for their systems. To this end, it has engineers who integrate the main communication protocols such as KNX, BACnet, MODBus, or NETEX, integrating the main components and systems into a SCADA management and supervision system.
