An Energy Management System (EMS) is an industry-standard industrial heating control that monitors, controls and optimises your heating. This is especially important in large industrial or commercial buildings where heating can be wasteful. Our research shows that an EMS can cut your heating costs and carbon emissions by up to 25%!
Here are 10 reasons why your business needs one:
Guaranteed Cost Savings
Our EMS systems can typically reduce your heating costs by up to 25% year-on-year. We achieve this by creating zoned heating areas, scheduling heating based on occupancy and using highly accurate digital sensors. Plus, as this Case Study demonstrates, some of our customers make their investment back within just four months!
Improve Your Sustainability
As well as saving you money, an EMS gives you the data and control you need to reduce your carbon footprint, helping your business comply with national and global Net Zero sustainability commitments.
Real-Time Data Visibility
Our Energy Management System provides real-time insights into how, when and where energy is being consumed. This raw data can then be used to track usage patterns, optimise your system and start saving you money! For example, we can create up to four programmable working periods per day with individual target temperatures, giving you the versatility your working schedule needs.
Regulatory Compliance
An EMS helps your business comply with mandatory energy efficiency rules and makes achieving key environmental certifications, like ISO 50001, LEED, or BREEAM, much simpler.
Optimised Equipment Life
An EMS reduces wear and tear by ensuring HVAC and heating are run optimally and not constantly, extending the lifespan of expensive equipment and lowering capital expenditure. A good example of that is our Out-of-Hours frost protection system, which gives your building the protection it needs during cold snaps.
Predictive Maintenance
The system can monitor equipment performance and identify early signs of inefficiency or malfunction, helping staff to schedule maintenance proactively and prevent costly, unscheduled downtime.
Centralised Control
Our EMS works across a range of locations. We recently worked across over 200 Wickes stores, giving them the ability to monitor and control multiple stores and warehouses at the click of a button. This streamlines the business’s efficiency, giving them full visibility and allowing managers to change shift patterns and target temperatures throughout the day/week/month/year!
Improved Comfort and Productivity
Our Clarke Controls EMS give you precise heating control, ensuring comfortable working conditions no matter the weather outside. These tamper-proof controls are set remotely, meaning there are no heating/AC battles between staff. That said, we can include a boost button to give zoned areas that all-important blast of heat when it’s really needed!
Enhanced Property and Brand Value
An energy-efficient building equipped with a modern EMS is more attractive to tenants and investors, strengthening your market appeal and demonstrating a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Now Is The Time
Autumn and Spring are the perfect seasons to invest in an EMS, as that’s where the real savings of up to 25% take place. That’s due to the erratic weather patterns, where hot spells can follow frosts and sub-zero temperatures – an EMS can handle these unpredictable weather patterns in its stride, making sure you can save some serious money while heating your property where it needs to be.
