Energy Management is Simple.
VEM is an energy monitoring system that enables Tactical Energy Group to serve as your energy management team. Simply install our power meters and get connected to our server. Our first order of business is producing a return on your investment by helping you save real dollars. VEM is an alternative to the growing number of expensive energy saving products on the market. Our energy management protocols are a better way to reduce costs (and even carbon) than many of today’s product-based solutions.
VEM technology is designed by TEG, engineered in partnership with Conserv, and powered by the Niagara framework; there’s nothing like it on the market. We have spent more than a decade studying commercial and industrial business operations in Midwestern utility markets. As a result we have developed powerful tools to drive down energy costs and eliminate wasteful consumption. VEM delivers those tools to you.
VEM is a system of technologies and best practices that makes enterprise level energy management available to any business. To start, we consult with you and study your usage data. We then design custom dashboards for each of your facilities. When you log in to your dashboards, you will notice they are different than any other energy monitoring suite; they only include actionable data. Energy management is simplified into two goals, with two key metrics. VEM will turn you and your employees into highly effective energy management professionals and will bring TEG in-house to guide the process.

When designing VEM, we wanted to use the most powerful technology on the market, so we chose the Niagara framework. Our goal was to choose a platform capable of delivering VEM, that was also robust enough to solve some of the key issues our clients face when optimizing their business operations. Niagara is the gold standard in data aggregation and is used to build the most sophisticated building automation systems in the world. When you get VEM, you also get Niagara.
So what does this mean? When you get VEM you can also take advantage of the Niagara framework to unite various monitoring systems into one central command center! Did you know that most new buildings have various controls systems and monitoring features within their design? Sometimes they are central, but often they are separate systems for HVAC or lighting. They come with different interfaces and they don’t communicate with each other. Often they go unused because they are too difficult to coordinate. Sometimes building owners don’t even know they are there. What a waste!
VEM, powered by Niagara, works in existing facilities, enhances new construction, and can be used to integrate various controls and monitoring systems into a central command center. These systems can seamlessly interface with your energy management strategy. While you don’t have to use all of these features, you can see that VEM is a flexible, multi-functional, value-packed solution.
