In modern buildings, with the emphasis on indoor air quality and energy efficiency, many governments have already introduced a series of policies and rules. In Europe, the EU's Green Deal emphasizes the dual goals of improving air quality and reducing building energy consumption. In the United States, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has promoted companies to monitor and improve ...
The following is a detailed overview of the common uses of DC meters:I. New Energy Generation Systems1. Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation - Application Background: Solar photovoltaic power generation systems convert solar energy into direct current (DC) electricity through solar panels. ...

Use a digital platform like Facility Management Software to schedule jobs and record all maintenance work done during this period. Improve energy efficiencyReview building energy consumption data and find ways to improve energy efficiency. ...
According to statistics, 40% of the energy consumption in Europe comes from the building sector. This led the European Commission to create energy efficiency directives to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, introducing the concept of NZEB or Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings. One of the main measures to be implemented is the requirement for all new buildings from 2021 (public buildings from ...
Building automation systems (BAS) are becoming increasingly prevalent in commercial and industrial facilities, allowing for more efficient and effective management of building systems such as HVAC, lighting, and security. One of the key benefits of BAS is their potential to reduce energy consumption and costs, making them an important tool in the effort to promote sustainability and combat ...
M-Bus is a data system designed to transmit information for consumption measuring instruments and counters. M-Bus has many applications in building and industrial energy consumption data acquisition. For a remote meter reading system, the data transmitted on the line is the important data such as water, electricity and gas consumed by the end user. Therefore, the requirements for the line's ...
If you manage a large portfolio of buildings, you might be wondering how to define an accurate baseline for each one. A baseline helps you track energy use and set goals for reducing consumption. But if you are still manually generating baselines for each building, it can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. Fortunately, there is a better way: you can now automatically generate baselines ...
2022 is shortly coming to an end… As we all know, this year has been particularly tumultuous marked by an unprecedented energy crisis, requiring a shift in our paradigm and making all of us reconsider our rapport with energy and energy management. As IEA’s 2022 World Energy Outlook report highlighted, “there remain huge uncertainties over how this energy crisis will evolve and ...
This blog is co-signed by Morten Petersen, Member of European Parliament. Major cities under water. Unprecedented heat waves. Terrifying storms. These are just a few of the nightmare scenarios evoked by UN Secretary General António Guterres following the publication in April of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on climate science. The findings could ...
My third article for Forbes talks about moving past awareness of climate change and doing something about it. I noted how buildings are one of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, so we must address how new and existing buildings use energy. And this is especially urgent if we want to achieve the ambitious 2050 net-zero goal spearheaded by the UN Net Zero Coalition and ...
For years, the real estate sector has been using a range of sustainability, quality and energy efficiency certifications to catalogue the building stock and highlight the best-rated buildings. The ability to categorise portfolios of buildings according to their ‘green’ credentials is very useful in positioning them better in the sales and rental market, as well as in attracting ...
The objective of these regulations is to ensure that new buildings are energy efficient and that changes are made to existing buildings to conserve fuel and reduce carbon emissions. ...
The term ESG may be new to most, and while it has only recently emerged as a global force, it dates as far back as 2005. Its aspirational beginnings vaporised quickly when talk of buildings with poor ESG ratings becoming “stranded assets” entered the narrative. Nobody wants to find themselves with one (or many) of those. A panic of sorts has now set in with one company trying to outdo ...
We have never spent more time in our own homes than we have in the past twelve months. It is no surprise then that consumer spending on home improvements is one sector that continues to experience growth, along with digital entertainment and consumer electronics. At the same time, 2020 has been a wakeup call for many to protect our planet. Tackling the climate emergency continues to gain ...
According to the European Commission, buildings in the European Union (EU) are responsible for 40% of the region’s energy consumption and 36% of its greenhouse gas emissions. If building energy and water consumption is not properly monitored, through the use of energy management systems (EMS), it becomes difficult to control how much is used and wasted. Left unchecked, this hurts both the ...
Energy efficiency is like a long-distance race. The first kilometres are easy and if you train a little bit you will achieve big results. But once you beat your own records, there’s a moment when you need a deeper analysis to understand where your areas of improvement are. You need to understand what is going on in your industry. Keep reading if you have ever wondered… how could I ...
If you plan to implement an energy management system in your buildings' portfolio, first you should carry out a prior analysis of the current situation of your buildings and facilities. So previously, check these 4 key points: 1. Why should you implement an Energy Management System in your Buildings? The most obvious answer to this question is to save energy and reduce costs. And of course, this ...
