Smart businesses don't need to wait for the smart grid to reduce energy costs.

Rising energy costs and environmental concerns are driving companies to reduce their energy usage. This effort typically starts with new, energy-efficient equipment, with an eventual move to sub-metering electricity usage. These things are important but they only address part of the problem.

Beyond power, other issues cause considerable costs in operations - costs that can be avoided.

• Spikes in water usage
• Excess gas usage
• Inefficient or improperly maintained equipment

A holistic approach for reducing commercial energy consumption.

OneView users get a complete view of their organization's operations - and keep essential plants, property and equipment running as efficiently as possible. The OneView suite monitors equipment health, tracks utilities sub-metering and optimizes service. Users of this handy energy management application understand how much energy is being consumed and how effectively that energy is being used. Armed with this knowledge, an organization can greatly reduce its energy costs - and easily make operations more green.

Smart grid savings in a simple Energy Management Solution.

Like every application in the OneView suite, OneView Energy and Utilities Management is Software as a Service  - offering significant cost reduction, just like rational Smart Grid hardware and traditional client-server software packages. The primary difference is that you don't have to invest in equipment and IT infrastructure.

STEP-BY-STEP

The OneView energy management solution is specifically designed to make it easy to save energy, reduce consumption and cut your utility

costs.

1

SET UP AND TRACK YOUR EQUIPMENT

Simple-to-install and affordable, sensors are wired directly into your equipment to monitor machine parameters that impact your efficiency and utility expenses.

• Continuously monitor all equipment and assets, regardless of manufacturer
  • HVAC and Refrigeration
  • Boilers
  • Compressors
  • Generators
  • Other mechanical equipment.
  • Tracking provides real-time monitoring of critical variables

2

SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE BASED ON CRITICAL VARIABLES

Schedule maintenance according to critical variables that impact your equipment health and efficiency:

• Engine hours and runtime
• Odometer readings
• Pre-determined hours or days in service
• Regularly scheduled calendar dates

3

SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE BASED ON CRITICAL VARIABLES

Use the energy management application to measure and track changes in energy consumption, equipment runtime and output, and user define variables to diagnose and dispatch service for in-building machinery.

• Set up and receive alarms when conditions require a response from maintenance or production personnel.
• Allow service technicians to respond faster with remote diagnostics that reduce mean time to repair and cut downtime.
• Create monthly reports, including cost of operations, historical performance and operational efficiency.
• Target inefficient equipment for replacement.

WHO BENEFITS

Energy and utilities management is vital for reducing consumption and cost.

Improving the efficiency of equipment and lowering energy and utility costs are high priorities for anyone who has to efficiently manage a facility. Government initiatives for sustainability and green energy further highlight the need to move to a more connected enterprise. Many professionals have a lot to gain from this energy management solution:

• Facility Owners
• Property Management Companies
• Service Contractors
• Enterprise Maintenance and Environmental, Health and Safety Organizations

HOW TO SAVE MONEY

Ways to cut utility costs and profit with OneView

Facility owners and managers can monitor the real-time costs of operations for key mechanical equipment in buildings, warehouses and distributions centers. Users are notified about small changes in equipment efficiency, as well as energy and utility costs that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. With that kind of visibility, you can respond to problems before they shows up on your utility bill.

With a customer's permission, the OneView application allows service providers to access their data as well. Contractors can effectively monitor and manage the performance of customers' equipment with real-time data, exception-based alarms and proactive service.

Additional ways to save or add to your bottom line include:

• Reduce service labor expenses from unnecessary service calls.
• Reduce equipment replacement costs.
• Eliminate invalid warranty claims.
• Extend equipment life.
• Effectively plan new asset purchases using performance and maintenance history.
