Distech solution optimises energy use
01 December 2011
DISTECH Controls, a leading provider of building automation and energy management solutions, has launched the EC-NetAX EnerVue Web-based energy management dashboard that is said to provide proven visualisation of vital building metrics through an easy-to-use, browser-based dashboard application.
EC-NetAX EnerVue allows users to quickly identify issues, assess relationships, and take action in order to optimise resource efficiencies and sustainability, and ultimately increase energy and operational cost savings across their building portfolio.
The application makes use of, and converts into graphics and reports, large amounts of real-time and historical data available in Distech Controls’ EC-NetAX Web-based multi-protocol building management system (BMS).
EC-NetAX EnerVue is appropriate for a broad choice of users responsible for controlling, monitoring, and conserving energy in a building, from owners/operators to energy managers, to consulting engineers, according to the Canada-based firm.
Suited for single or multiple site installations, EC-NetAX EnerVue allows building managers, energy managers, and executives to identify the greatest opportunities to reduce energy costs, validate capital upgrades, and track their return on investment (ROI), says the firm.
For single sites or smaller footprints, EnerVue will run as a stand-alone module on an EC-BOSAX, eliminating the need for additional PCs based on software as a service (SaaS). It allows owners to start small, yet remains scalable to fit any company’s growing needs.
Equally useful for both new buildings, as well as retrofits, EnerVue enables quick identification of locations that are deviating from their past performance, or operating outside the norm for similar structures.
"EC-NetAX EnerVue provides building owners and managers with all the graphical intelligence they need to improve the energy performance of their facilities," comments Ahmed Hirani, executive vice-president of sales.
"By reducing volumes of data into visual knowledge, graphs, and reports, EnerVue allows users to rapidly identify trends, as well as real-time facility and enterprise data, to greatly facilitate business decisions," he adds.
Through an extensive library of viewlets, EC-NetAX EnerVue can be easily customised for an individual user’s specific needs and requirements, enabling them to focus on current or rapidly changing conditions for their area of responsibility. Viewlets are available for various data, histories, and metrics, including energy trends, building comparisons, weather data, network status, consumption efficiencies, key performance indices (KPIs), and more.
Established in Canada in 1995, Distech Controls has business divisions and service offices across North America as well as in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. It designs and manufactures systems and products based on open and interoperable communication protocols.
