Building energy management systems are critical tools to reach sustainability goals and to curb waste
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 ...
