GSA's Web-Based Energy Manager Tool: D.C. customers see near real-time energy use

摘要

Advances in technology and a mandate for monitoring energy usage in governmental buildings are bringing greater operational savings and control to building energy managers. Such is the case with the Heating Operation and Transmission Division (HOTD) of the U. S. General Services Administration National Capital Region Public Buildings Services (GSA/NCR/PBS). The organization has developed a Web-based energy manager system to give building managers a unique and immediate Internet view of their steam and chilled-water utility usage as data is collected from the metering points. This newly implemented GSA system ties directly to the existing meter data collection system at HOTD to provide customer building managers with near real-time energy flows, trend graphics and energy consumption reports.
