Why Energy Monitoring Systems Are a Smart Choice for Building Owners
Singapore’s Green Plan to achieve by 2030 includes an entire section on Green Infrastructure & Buildings. The goal is to “green” 80% of Singapore’s buildings (by Gross Floor Area) by 2030, meaning they need to be energy-efficient, low waste, and reduce water consumption. For building owners and facility managers of older buildings, this means taking significant steps to upgrade infrastructure to meet energy compliance regulations. One of the first and most crucial steps in this process is collecting accurate data on energy consumption. An Energy Monitoring System (EMONS) simplifies the process of collecting data on a building’s energy use. It automates meter readings, provides real-time data, and generates reports.
Key Features of an Energy Monitoring System
Automated Data Collection
Eliminate manual meter readings, saving time and reducing errors
Real-Time Insights
Access accurate energy consumption data on any screen, anytime and anywhere
Instant Report Generation
Easily generate reports for compliance and maintenance
Anomaly Detection
Receive alerts for unusual energy consumption patterns to prevent wastage
Benefits of an Energy Monitoring System
Support Sustainability and ESG Goals
Set targets for consumption & gather data on whether or not you meet your benchmarks. Effectively take action to reduce carbon footprint & submit reports for compliance.
Lower Utility Bills and Save on Costs
An EMONS gives you full access to building data, allowing you to analyze and optimize the next steps toward a more energy-efficient solution.
Smart Building Integration
Further enhance building energy efficiency by integrating an EMONS system with IoT, building management systems (BMS), and smart lighting for intelligent energy management.
Conclusion
Investing in an Energy Monitoring System is crucial to meeting Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 goals. With automated data collection, real-time insights, and compliance-ready reporting, an Energy Monitoring System is the smart choice for building owners looking to modernize and optimize their energy use.
An EMONS that automates data collection and monitoring marks the first step in Lim Kim Hai Electric’s Continuous Improvement Model. From here, building owners may choose to continue the journey by taking analysing the data and taking action.
