Through the Smart Energy Analytics Campaign, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Alliance, with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), and other key organizers, will work with industry to encourage and track adoption of Energy Management and Information Systems (EMIS) technology used with monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx) and other energy management processes in the commercial buildings sector.
Energy Management and Information Systems (EMIS) are a cost-effective, yet underutilized "High Impact Technology". These technologies are underutilized in today’s buildings, yet offer owners and operators significant savings on their utility bills, as operational improvements. In addition to EMIS, the U.S. Department of Energy has identified Cold Climate Heat Pumps, LED Troffers with Controls, and Alternative Refrigerants as High Impact Technologies.
DOE relevance
In 2016 , the US Department of Energy and Berkeley Lab, with organizing partners launched the Smart Energy Analytics Campaign - a public-private partnership with the nation’s leading edge businesses and public sector organizations
- Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA)
- International Facility Management Association (IFMA)
- Commonwealth Edison
- Building Commissioning Association (BCxA)
It aims to
- Catalyze EMIS adoption
- Provide technical assistance to EMIS users to maximize achieved value
- Create the largest existing dataset on building analytics costs, benefits, and uses
The Better Buildings Initiative and Berkeley Lab have partnered to provide pivotal resources—and the facilities management profession needs tools such as those used by the Smart Energy Analytics Campaign—to analyze and control energy consumption. The International Facility Management Association (IFMA) is privileged to be an Organizing Partner for this and other Campaigns launched through the Better Buildings Initiative.
Stakeholders
As of 2020:
- 104 campuses and enterprises joined the Smart Energy Analytics Campaign
- Participants were using EMIS in over 600M sf of commercial building floor space
- Participants' EMIS were driving projected savings of $95M/yr and 4TBtu/yr
