If you want to reduce your APS electric bill, investing in an EMS is a great decision. An EMS is a system used by electric grid operators to optimize and control the energy management systems usage of devices such as fans, HVAC systems, lighting, pumps, and so on.
As energy costs continue to rise, property and building owners are aiming to increase the energy efficiency of their infrastructure in the hope of reducing their energy bills and minimizing their environmental impact whilst improving their revenues.
One of the top solutions to this for property owners is introducing energy management devices and systems that will enable them to track, manage, and monitor energy usage in their buildings. A lot of industries and buildings across the globe are trying to reduce their carbon footprint as the continued issue of reducing energy consumption and global warming is plaguing nearly every aspect of society.
Whilst companies are becoming aware of their environmental impact, emissions of toxic gases are still rising. Using EMS brings the following benefits.
Cost reduction
Reduction of operational costs such as cooling, heating, water services and lighting is one of the top benefits of implementing EMS. An EMS will help property owners to continuously track their energy usage over a long period and stores the data so that they can have constant access to the historical energy performance. This allows homeowners and business owners to make cost predictions on their future energy usage.
As a lot of businesses have struggled to adapt to the cost implications caused by the pandemic, one way to reduce operational costs is by introducing an energy management system with studies showing that companies can save up to about 40% on average costs over one year.
Reduced carbon footprint
Your property’s carbon footprint is the greenhouse gases your property produces and this is linked to the energy that your property consumes. Having a system to continuously measure and control this can help you highlight deficiencies in your system that can be improved to lessen your carbon footprint.
Enhanced productivity and wellbeing
Another important aspect of an EMS is the ability to control all aspects of your building’s energy performance such as lighting and HVAC systems enabling you to create a comfortable environment for employees. 60% of employees are said to be dissatisfied with lighting and temperature control within an office which has had negative effects on productivity, with at least ninety percent of employees being affected for one year.
An EMS will help reduce the carbon footprint of your building by implanting energy-efficient measures. As more people are becoming environmentally conscious, improving the energy management of your building is a more modern way of improving the satisfaction of your employees.
Return on investment
Energy management systems help you reduce APS electric bill as they come with cost-saving features such as emitting lower energy during peak periods and offering revenue-generating programs. These benefits will help you see an immediate return on investment after the initial installation cost.
