BEMS: optimising building use

摘要

BEMS - building environmental management systems - are one type of engineering solution that is increasingly attracting attention. BEMS Opportunities, a report by the Building Services Research and Information Association, recently stated that the global BEMS market could reach well over £4bn by 2020. Modern BEMS combine state-of-the-art control technology with increasingly agile communication and information systems, to allow active building services management, in real-time. Such systems can meet a building owner's need to monitor, measure and assess energy use, as part of energy efficiency and carbon emissions reporting. This can include data to optimise performance such as dealing with variable energy tariffs, or even the interplay between renewables and energy storage.
