Almost every day someone is asking how much energy an Energy Management System (EMS) will save or wants to know if our XtraVision system will save more energy than brand X. The answer is always, “it depends”. It is not a simple answer because of the many factors to consider. Look around long enough and you’ll find folks claiming to have achieved 30%, 40% and even 50% energy savings with their EMS. We’ve also seen savings like that, but not from where you might expect. In the coming weeks we will unpack why “it depends” with a few case studies and hopefully explain the various factors that affect it.
