What is Energy Monitoring? What is Energy Automation? Is there a relationship, is it exclusive, is it harmonious? This explores both of those.

1. Presented by: Kevin Ooro
Monitoring and Automation, how is our energy efficiency?

2. Monitoring and Automation, are we Energy
Efficient?

3. What is Monitoring?
• Observe and check the progress or quality of
(something) over a period of time; keep under
systematic review
• Systematic process of collecting, analyzing and
using information to track a program's
progress toward reaching its objectives and to
guide management decisions
• Maintain regular surveillance over.
What is Monitoring?

4. Why Monitoring?
Energy monitoring and targeting (M&T) is an energy
efficiency technique based on the
standard management axiom stating that “you cannot
manage what you cannot measure”. M&T techniques
provide energy managers with feedback on operating
practices, results of energy management projects, and
guidance on the level of energy use that is expected in a
certain period. Importantly, they also give early warning of
unexpected excess consumption caused by equipment
malfunctions, operator error, unwanted user behaviors,
lack of effective maintenance and the like.

5. What is Monitoring?
Why should you install Energy Monitoring
Systems?

6. The rising energy costs and global warming has forced us to keep an eye on our
energy consumption. For which, you need to first improve the efficiency
through which we consume energy. An energy management system can help
monitor, control and reduce the energy consumption significantly.

7. Why Monitoring?
Benefits of Energy Monitoring Systems
YOU CAN ACCESS FROM ANYWHERE - You can schedule, control and monitor
your motors, thermostats, lighting and other energy consuming components
through wireless devices or mobile smartphone apps. The EMS tracks your
energy consumption in real-time.
PROMPT RETURN ON INVESTMENT - Statistics reveal that the energy
management systems can reduce energy costs 8 to 20%. By this, you can get a
quick return on investment, in about 24 to 36 months depending on client and
location.
SCALABLE - You can track energy or water anytime day or night and know how
much is consumed at that particular time. By this, one can take required steps to
reduce energy and water waste.
REDUCED GREENHOUSE GASES - Commercial buildings are the major source of
environment pollution. A good energy management system paves way for
reduced greenhouse gas emission.

8. What is Automation?

9. We define automation as "the creation and
application of technology to monitor and control
the production and delivery of products and
services.”

10. • In my introduction I started by stating an
energy efficiency technique based on the
standard management axiom stating that “you
cannot manage what you cannot measure”.
• I would like to put it in a different way and in
automation aspect and say, “you cannot
automate what you cannot monitor”
AUTOMATE AND MONITOR

11. Why we automate
• Efficiency - Automation not only ensures systems run
smoothly and efficiently, but that errors are eliminated and
that your best practices are constantly leveraged.
• Cost - The companies that implement automated systems
early often see positive bottom line results from their efforts.
However, cost savings are not the primary reason to automate
computer operations. The focus should be on improving
service to the end users. As the quality of this service
improves with automation software, the costs associated with
it also improve.
Why We Automate….

12. • Quality: Automation ensures that every action is performed identically -
resulting in high quality, reliable results
• Consistency: If, for example, you have automated your customer service
follow-up process, your customers will consistently experience the same
level of service from your business
• Time Saving – Manual tasks take time. They have to be performed linearly
by humans who are prone to errors and who are unable to consistently
perform to the highest standards.
Automation reduces the number of tasks you and your employees would
otherwise need to do manually. This frees up your time to work on items
that add genuine value to the business, allowing you to be more
innovative and increasing your employees’ levels of motivation.
Automation also allows you to get more done in the same amount of time,
greatly increasing productivity.
