Cutting energy costs is a hot topic in every household these days – but it’s even more relevant for property owners, facility managers and businesses as a whole. We already shared insights about how to create an energy saving culture within your company, but why not take it a step further and invest in an energy management system to really make your building smart?

An energy management system can connect to all sensors and technical applications within a single building, an entire campus or even a multi-site enterprise. This way, it becomes a valuable source of truth to enable clear visualizations in custom dashboards and reports. This powerful source of information provides actionable insights that, when put into practice, can lead to big optimisations and financial wins.

With an energy management system like ICONICS, you can easily monitor, analyze and improve the assets within your organisation. Leverage system analytics, in the form of Energy AnalytiX® and Facility AnalytiX®, to turn raw system data into actionable information and create a truly smart building application. You can easily generate cost, consumptions and carbon reports.

This way, you’ll be able to:

1. Spot inefficiencies and abnormal use of energy
2. Get insights into energy consumption patterns
3. Optimize your energy and resource usage
4. Also simplify the workflow for field operatives at the same time
5. Use this information towards your sustainability efforts

In short, you’ll be able to spot areas of improvement quickly and turn them into actions.

Some of the benefits of the ICONICS software include: 

• It can be integrated with a wide variety of BMS, SCADA, ERP and control systems, making it easy to deploy and start working on your ROI; 
• It is compatible with meter meter types from manufacturers in multiple energy-related categories (Electric, Wind, Solar, Steam, Gas, Water, Cogen), making it easier to configure; 
• It has built-in calculations, KPIs, analytics, data historian, reporting, rich visualization and custom dashboarding; 
• It has a very user-friendly and intuitive user interface; 
• It is BACnet compliant, so you can be sure that you can even connect to most existing building automation systems by connecting to the network, without requiring any new hardware. 

Working with ICONICS is easily scalable, so you can start small and scale to multiple buildings and sites as you wish. One of the satisfied users of ICONICS that has scaled up to 125 buildings is Microsoft. They have saved up to 20% of energy using ICONICS.
