Computerized Energy Management System

Computerized Energy Management System

Computerized Energy Management System

(OP)
I am currently looking into replacing an older energy management system and was wondering what other facilities might be using.
A few things I am looking for are:
A windows based software program that runs on a standard PC (I don't want to buy a new system each time a PC gives out)
Telephone control (Dial up) to turn devices on and off (lights, fans, etc.)
A scheduler to schedule events (daily, weekly, holidays, etc.)
A company that can integrate to our existing tranceivers so that this project can be accomplished in stages (our facility is 850,000 sq ft and 11 bldgs)

RE: Computerized Energy Management System

Find out some information about the Trane Summit system. It is open protocol, works on a web browser (IE - PC based although there is a new web server option that would allow almost any browser to access the scheduling etc. of the system) works over TCP/IP protocol and ethernet and would allow staging the install... I am not sure about your existing Transceivers but it may make sense to integrate or replace depending on the complexity. For a campus or separate buildings this can really make sense.
