Manage Energy Use at Multiple Facilities

Challenge

The global economy may be here to stay, but energy and water consumption remains entirely local. Large enterprises with facilities scattered across the region and around the globe are serviced by local utilities, each with different rate structures, regulations and distribution systems. Ensuring that each facility operates at peak efficiency is a business priority, but it is increasingly difficult to manage enterprise-wide consumption across all operations. Facility management departments were once concerned only with paying bills and managing capital expenditures that updated and replaced equipment. Today’s large multi-facility enterprise has to develop and manage best operating practices and programs that lower energy use, validate and process energy billing, track energy budgets and procure optimal energy rates from different utilities around the world.

Solution

Itron Enterprise Energy Management Suite (EEM Suite™) helps large enterprises reduce energy consumption and operate facilities more efficiently. The EEM Operations solution provides continuous facility and equipment variance analysis, benchmarking processes and power analytics that are rapidly becoming best practices to lower energy costs. EEM can also be used to analyze how new equipment will impact existing operational costs and perform monitoring and verification (M&V) on capital projects. The EEM Financial Management solution monitors energy financials, enabling organizations to verify utility bills using actual utility rate schedules and the utility’s billing cycle. The EEM Procurement solution supports short- and long-term forecasting, rate comparisons, compliance monitoring and dynamic economic load control to help procure optimal energy costs for each facility. Itron’s experienced staff of economists, statisticians and engineers are also available as consultants to help utilities find optimal solutions for energy management across multiple facilities.
