EMS stands for Energy Management System and means building energy management system. It is a set of devices, sensors and software that monitor and optimise energy consumption. This system is increasingly used in modern energy-efficient buildings (smart home) and commercial buildings.
The EMS collects data on the operation of electrical, heating, ventilation and cooling systems and, on this basis, analyses energy consumption and allows loss points to be identified. The data can be presented in the form of reports, graphs and current readings in the management panel. The EMS allows the automatic control of selected installations in a building. For example, it can regulate the operation of heating, ventilation, lighting or energy storage according to current demand.
In more advanced energy management systems, cooperation with photovoltaic installation or energy storage systems is also possible. EMS applications helps reduce energy consumption and building operating costs. It also makes it easier to monitor energy efficiency and plan further optimisation measures.
