Every enterprise requires energy to produce products and profits. Energy Management balances the sources of energy and the consumption of energy to achieve the lowest cost. The energy sources may be electricity, natural gas, oil, coal, steam, or any other form of energy. The consumer of energy could be anything from an industrial or manufacturing process, to heating for a commercial or residential building, to lighting for an office park.

EMS or Building Energy Management System (BEMS) monitors and controls the boilers, pumps and ventilation fans. The BEMS will control energy use to ensure internal comfort requirements are met for the least energy input e.g. sequencing of boilers and CHP. The system will also be used to ensure that equipment is regularly maintained and attended to promptly. In order to underpin user awareness, it is an important part of such a system to implement individual thermostats and meters for heating, electricity, and water.
