Energy monitoring and control system in public buildings. Final report

Abstract

The project involves energy saving in institutions for children, such as kindergartens etc. The aim was to see how much could be saved by energy control monthly, in comparison to how much could be saved by an electronic system working continously, and if the extra cost could be defended by the extra savings obtained. Savings are believed to originate from better technical control, and more emphasis put on the duties of the technical personnel which makes them perform their work more effectively. Two groups of buildings where different methods have been used and a third reference group, were used for investigation purposes. Group one consists of 5 buildings, equipped with EMCS, Electronic Monitoring and Control System. Group two consists of 5 buildings, retaining their original manual control systems. Group three consists of 5 buildings, where nothing is being done. It was found that the pay-back period is too long for the equipment in this project, but new buildings equipped with EMCS can be added at a reasonable cost, giving a pay-back of 37% p.a. New buildings should be equipped with EMCS. Because the extra cost of an EMCS outstation is rather small, and the more sophisticated system will lead to  More>>

New buildings should be equipped with EMCS. Because the extra cost of an EMCS outstation is rather small, and the more sophisticated system will lead to energy savings. The equipment shows trend curves. The success of the manual energy management is however so big that it can be recommended to spread the system immediately to all institutions. The investment in manual energy management is rather small. It has been demonstrated that the emphasis on the work of the personnel in the buildings pays. (AB).}
