What is an Energy Management System? An energy management system is a framework designed to systematically analyze, control, and conserve energy within an organization. It encompasses various processes and technologies aimed at optimizing energy usage and reducing waste. An EnMS enables organizations to gather real-time data on energy consumption, identify inefficiencies, and implement strategies for improvement. The International Standard for
An energy audit is a comprehensive evaluation of the energy consumption and performance of your business. It involves collecting and analyzing data on your energy use patterns, such as how much electricity, gas, or other fuels you use, when and where you use them, and for what purposes. It also involves inspecting your building envelope, lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning
Following the Paris Agreement, businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental impact. TERAO can help to assess the carbon footprint of companies, from the upstream to downstream emissions. Additionally, TERAO assists its clients in achieving their sustainability goals. We invite you to read the following interview of Devin Barta, Direction of Operations at AHF Products 1 – Can
Energy efficiency is the practice of using less energy to achieve the same or better results. It can help businesses and organizations save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve their environmental performance. Energy efficiency is important for businesses because it can lower their energy bills, enhance their reputation, and increase their productivity. According to a report by the International
Energy management is more than just reducing energy consumption; it encompasses the strategic planning, monitoring, and optimization of energy usage within an organization in different sectors, such as industry, transport, buildings and households. It involves a comprehensive understanding of energy flows, identifying areas of waste, and implementing measures to enhance overall efficiency. Energy is essential for human development and economic
What is an energy consumption baseline? A baseline serves as a point of reference or comparison for evaluating another value or situation. It allows us to determine whether the measured data is distinct, unusual, or requires special attention, or if it aligns closely with the baseline. By comparing against this reference point, we can assess the significance and characteristics of
In early 2023, Galeries Lafayette will open a store in Shenzhen’s city Futian district, as part of its development in China. Galeries Lafayette wanted to estimate the detailed energy consumption of this mall, before its construction. An Energy estimation study could help Galeries Lafayette gain a clear understanding of the behavior of the store and then identify future relevant optimization
