Course Description: Getting the most energy savings out of your HVAC requires building systems to be capable of adjustment, such as variable speed drives or demand limiting, as opposed to simple on/off control.  However, these strategies often add a higher level of complexity making it more challenging to keep persistent energy savings over time.  Energy Management Systems and Analytics are often offered up as a solution to this problem.  This course will provide a deep dive exploration on the reality of energy management systems and how they are not a one-size-fits all endeavor and how each one needs its one requirement and parameter for success.

Learning Objectives: 

• Identify key differences between building management systems (BMS) and energy management systems (EMS)
• Review fundamental EMS qualities, controls, and techniques appropriate for different users, audiences, and end goals
• Explore key performance indicators and strategies dashboard configurations
• Evaluate effective EMS implementation, current product availability and successful case studies in new and retrofit projects
