| Advanced technologies that control and monitor thermostats,
HVAC units, lights and other electrical devices can cost-effectively
lower facility energy use. Paybacks can be under two years in many
cases.
PES offers control systems that provide remote, web-enabled monitoring
of energy and electrical equipment in a number of discrete zones
throughout a facility or across an enterprise. These control systems
can also shed equipment loads during peak, high cost power periods.
Economic dispatch modeling
- Integrating business needs with available energy supply and
production options.
- Maximizing options to provide the most cost effective energy
procurement and supply for individual locations, campuses and
enterprises.
- Design and implementation of management decision support tools
to assist in the control, scheduling and operation of energy assets.
- Development and real time calculation of performance metrics
the integration of these metrics with user/operator interface
systems to provide usable feedback to decision makers.
Security and Reliability
- Evaluate and implement improvements to support more reliable
operations.
- Identify and address security concerns related to energy infrastructure,
supply and operation.
Monitoring and Process Benchmarking
- Work with organizations to develop and implement comprehensive
monitoring programs.
- Provide analysis of performance data on an ongoing basis.
- Assist in the development of benchmarking tools to support the
continuous improvement process.
Innovative Technology
- Work with energy users to integrate new technologies into the
existing energy infrastructure.
- Identify opportunities and execute pilot projects to provide
proof of concept for new technologies.
- Assist in enterprise rollout of technologies following the completion
of the proof of concept testing.
- Assist in the development and implementation of continuous energy
monitoring and efficiency improvement:
- Provide ability to measure performance
and compare dissimilar systems with common metrics.
- Record opportunities to maintain or
enhance energy conservation and efficiency and improve human performance.
