The report, titled “Proving the Business Case for Building Analytics: A Dataset of Energy Management Information System (EMIS) Costs and Benefits,” stands as a seminal work in the field of building energy management. Conducted by researchers at the Berkeley Lab, this study involved the analysis of an extensive dataset to determine the effectiveness of EMIS, particularly EIS and FDD, in optimizing energy consumption in commercial and institutional buildings.
Key Findings of the Report
- Median Annual Energy Savings of 3% with EIS: Energy Information Systems (EIS) emerged as a formidable tool for driving energy efficiency in buildings. The report found that businesses can expect a median annual energy savings of 3% when employing EIS solutions. This is a significant figure, considering the potential cost savings and environmental benefits associated with reduced energy consumption.
- Stunning 9% Energy Savings with FDD: The real star of the show, however, was Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD). According to the Berkeley Lab report, FDD systems can deliver an astonishing median annual energy savings of 9%. This not only reduces operational costs but also ensures the building operates at peak efficiency, thereby extending the lifespan of equipment.
- EMIS Costs and Benefits Dataset: The report is distinctive in that it produced the most comprehensive dataset to date on the costs and benefits of Energy Management Information Systems (EMIS). This dataset serves as a valuable resource for businesses looking to make informed decisions about investing in EMIS technology.
