Building energy management systems

Already at the stage of investment in the construction of real estate, it is necessary to consider the aspects of exploitation accounts in the future. If your facility isn’t energy-efficient, chances are the cost of energy (electricity, gas, or water) will be frighteningly high. How to deal with it? An excellent solution is the energy management system, which is now the basis for the design and creation of smart homes.

How does it work and how is it done? How much does it cost and how to use the possibilities offered by the energy management system? We have prepared answers to these (and many other) questions in the further part of the material.

What is an Energy Management and Monitoring System?

An energy management and monitoring system is a system of devices and sensors whose task is to measure the consumption of electricity, water, gas or fuel. More advanced systems can additionally monitor the air or the presence of water vapour (which is more often useful in factories, warehouses or laboratories).

Don’t forget to use the results in a reasonable and thoughtful way. Failure to take steps to reduce energy consumption defeats the purpose of installing systems. So what should you do? An excellent solution is to invest in household goods and appliances with a higher energy efficiency class (e.g. A+ or A++) and install smart sockets that are controlled by an app on smartphones. Thanks to them, you don’t have to worry about forgetting to pull the charger out of your phone or unplug the TV from the power source if you leave. A small change in habits can bring impressive results in a short time.

How does it work?

The sensors measure the utilities in use and present users with the value of the electricity consumed or other energy sources. Advanced systems have the ability to connect to WiFi and synchronize with an application for multimedia devices (smartphones, tablets and computers). Innovative software can assess the energy efficiency potential on our farm, verify the amount of resources used and indicate elements that need improvement.

Norms and standards of energy management systems

In the case of households, there are no specific requirements for the compliance with the norms and energy standards of buildings imposed by law. In the case of corporate entities, it is the international standard ISO 50001. Its purpose is to increase the energy efficiency of the company and reduce energy costs.

How much does such a system cost and how much will it allow us to save?

It all depends on the type, extension, elements and devices used, as well as the size of the property itself and the adopted energy management system in the building. If you want your energy management system in your building to bring satisfactory results, you should consult your expectations and needs with specialists. Tadeks is an excellent option for people who value professionalism and attention to detail. Don’t wait and find out today.

Advanced energy management systems are a must-have for smart homes. Thanks to them, you are able to assess which devices consume the most energy during operation. On this basis, you will find a solution to your problems, reduce bills and save additional funds to your household budget – thus supporting a pro-ecological approach to life.

The cost of installing an energy management system is unlikely to pay for itself in one year. Remember, however, that this is an investment for many years. You buy property equipment once every 10-20 seasons. So it’s worth counting how much you’ll save in a month and multiplying by the approximate minimum and maximum period. The sum will certainly be satisfactory. Passive house solutions are becoming more and more popular in Poland – proper space management allows you to make significant savings.
