2. What is EDM System EDM is a system for the collection, analysis and reporting of data relating to energy performance

3. EDM System

4. Range of EDM solutions Standard Report Manual collection Sensor(s) Real time monitoring

5. EDM System The chosen EDM system should be appropriate for your organisation and is owned by those that use it It is very critical !!!

6. Data Collection Data collection is a fundamental part of any EDM system “What is the purpose of the system?”

7. Data types and sources 1/2 Data falls into 3 main categories: • Consumption • Cost • Drivers (influencing factors)

8. Data types and sources 2/2 Consumption data are the most basic data required for energy management Cost control is the main reason for most organisations to practice energy management Driver is any factor that influences energy consumption, i.e. weather, production

9. Data Collection Data collection depends on: • Number of data collection points; • Method of data collection; • Frequency of data collection;

10. Data Analysis 1/3 Data analysis is a vital process in the transformation of data into information The desired information output will influence which analytical techniques are used

11. Data Analysis 2/3 Analysis normally develops through 2 stages: • Looking only at energy (converting meter readings into consumption figures, comparing the current period of consumption with the same period the previous year) • The use of energy data and drivers (the results of this should prompt questions such as “why does that happen?, should that happen?, is that what we expect?, can we do better?)

12. Data Analysis 3/3 • Routinely (to provide the regular output of the system) • Investigative (to investigate the process rather that report for the process.

13. Selecting Analytical Techniques Key questions are: • which techniques are appropriate to my situation? • what do others use in my section? • which techniques can/use to benchmark my performance? • what do I need from the analysis? • how much data is required? • Do I have that data. If not, can it be obtained economically? The most common fault with an EDM system is not making effective use of existing data

14. Data communication 1/3 To complete the transformation from data to understanding collected and analysed data must be communicated To support energy management effective communication is a critical part of the system

15. Data communication 2/3 • Regular – weekly or monthly report • Exception – produced when something has gone wrong or right • Ad-hoc – initiated by request or as the result of investigation

16. Identifying Information Needs Two basic questions that you need to answer: Who needs energy information? What information do recipients need? All those individuals that can influence energy performance The minimum necessary to enable them to improve energy performance

17. Communication methods Most common use methods: • face to face • customised reports • presentations • electronic on demand It is important that the options chosen match the needs of the organisation
