What is an energy monitoring system and how does it work?

Energy monitoring systems provide users with data about their consumption patterns so they can make informed energy management decisions and maximize savings.

These systems use energy monitoring software that gathers energy consumption data, analyzes it and then provides useful information directly to the client’s devices. The information can be displayed in many different ways.

The software uses counters or sub-counters located on-site or in the building to gather data for each commodity (electricity, heat, water, gas) in order to provide a complete picture of energy usage.

The EMIS scope includes all integrated building systems and data sources. These commonly include utility bills, weather data, facility-related data, advanced metering infrastructure, building automation systems, utility control systems, distributed energy resources, internet-of-things devices, electric vehicle charging stations, and geographic information systems.

EMIS Stack

The EMIS stack includes all the devices, data services, and applications that meet the needs of the user. The stack has many different components depending on the EMIS implementation: 

• Integration components are responsible for managing communication between the scope and the historian component. It could include hardware and software, including drivers for protocol translation. 
• The historian component stores time series data and associated metadata in one or more databases, providing those data on request to applications. 
• Applications consist of all high-level analysis and visualization tools that rely on collected data. 
• Supervisory control supports applications that affect the operation of building devices in an automated or semiautomated manner. 

Operations

EMIS operations include the actions enabled or processes improved by EMIS capabilities, and the facilities staff, operators, energy managers, and building occupants who use EMIS to optimize the building, campus, or agency. EMIS are human-in-the-loop tools and will not generate savings unless the energy conservation measures identified by EMIS are acted upon and implemented by people.
