Small Commercial EMS Scaled Field Placement

This Emerging Technology report describes the data collection and analysis done to evaluate the energy savings potential of an energy management system (EMS) with integrated HVAC and lighting control functionality that is specially designed for small commercial facilities. As part of the project, kW Engineering performed a retrofit isolation analysis of the EMS installation in eleven facilities representing a variety of building types and climate zones in PG&E’s service territory. The installation of an EMS provided an opportunity for customers to re-examine, improve and enforce operating schedules and settings.
