Overview:
Energy costs around the world are causing facility and IT managers to pay close attention to their energy uses. A typical data center can use 30 times more energy per square foot than ordinary office space. Large facility equipment such as HVAC systems and chillers can account for the majority of power usage in some industries. Can technology be used to dramatically reduce energy usage and get this precious cost once and for all under control?


Historically, most businesses were not overly concerned with the cost of energy because energy was abundant and inexpensive. This, of course, has changed today, and facility owners and managers are looking towards technology to help them get a grip on spiraling energy costs. Opportunities exist for innovative technology such as pervasive monitoring and wide-area controls integration to bring a new level of insight and control to operations energy management.


The benefits of this new approach to energy management are clearly cost and sustainability. With cost improvements, business can stay more competitive and profitable, especially in intensive energy use industries such as IT and retail. Just as important is improving energy usage as this is critical to the longevity of the world. The most prevalent energy source is harmful carbon based fuel. Reducing energy use is just good business all around, and technology can once again help to improve our world.
