An energy management system is often confused with energy-saving measures that one implements to conserve available energy. However, energy management is a much more comprehensive topic to deal with, it includes the process of controlling, monitoring, and conserving energy in the public or government sector, businesses, organizations, and even in residential buildings. The core functions carried out by energy management systems include –
- Metering and collecting the data for energy consumption
- Finding opportunities to implement methods of saving energy
- Analysing and interpreting the meter data to measure the efficiency of an energy management system

Some of the prominent benefits of implementing a building management system can be elaborated on below –
Lower Costs
With escalating rates of power, such energy & building management equipment is high demand of the time. The selected system must have enough arrangements and monitoring features to cut the cost by efficient power saving and fault detection.
Risk Mitigation
It is easy to say that the selected system must be predictive in nature, in order to symbolise opportunities of power preservation by reducing the power demand and to reduce the risk of power shortage. Also, systems offer security from theft and fraud as well, through access control systems.
Eco-Friendly
It can be concluded that apart from being to perform the function of being able to conserve energy, the system must also be eco-friendly in some way or the other. Being eco-friendly is not only important to have a green image but it can also save further cost involving carbon taxes and managing carbon footprint.
