Big data technologies, such as building automation systems and the internet of things (IoT), give you access to more commercial building energy data than ever before. Strategic energy management software, such as BuildingLogiX, helps you make sense of all that data. Let’s look at how you can collect, analyze, and interpret your energy data with our software.
How Can Big Data Technologies Help You Manage Your Building’s Energy?
Strategic energy management (SEM) software and services help you manage certain aspects of your building’s energy consumption in the following ways:
- Energy Consumption Analysis: A SEM program like BuildingLogiX shows you how your HVAC systems operate in your facility. This operational data gives you insight into where energy waste occurs and inefficiencies lie. When you analyze your energy consumption data, you can determine how close you are to your energy goals. Then you can make improvements that help you achieve those goals.
- Building Infrastructure Analysis: Your energy consumption data reveals your building’s operations, which showcase different parts of its infrastructure. The data that a strategic energy management program collects shows you the occupant behaviors, energy usage, system performance, and equipment conditions, among others infrastructure aspects. This information helps you understand how your HVAC system relates to the rest of your building and how it performs as a whole.
- Fault Detection and Prevention: When you collect data through a strategic energy management system, you can use it to detect faults and problems in your building’s infrastructure. Once you know where your problems are, you can have them repaired. When you resolve your HVAC systems’ problems, the systems run more smoothly and decrease your overall energy demand. The decreased demand then increases your energy savings.
These SEM software capabilities help you keep track of your building’s energy operations and find ways to improve them.
