COVID-19 RESPONSE
In our era of environmental responsibility, businesses are increasing their focus on sustainability goals to minimize their impact on the planet and maximize their business value. This starts with accurately measuring and managing commercial building automation systems (BAS). According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the operations of buildings account for 30% of global final energy consumption and 26% of global energy-related emissions1 (8% being direct emissions in buildings and 18% indirect emissions from the production of electricity and heat used in buildings). Integrating flow and energy measurement into building systems is one path for companies to boost their environmental performance and manage their building performance by relying on transparent and reliable data management products.
There are numerous benefits to ONICON’s flow & energy measurement solutions.
Resource Consumption & Operational Efficiency—Monitoring the flow of water, gas, steam, or air in a BAS can help assess resource consumption and inform companies of areas/processes that could be optimized for efficiency. Identifying operational improvements and developing maintenance plans leads to greater efficiencies and productivity that translate to growth and savings.
Energy Efficiency—Monitoring energy consumption can help identify excess energy usage and areas for improvement, ensuring optimal energy usage.
Leak Detection—Flow meters can help detect abnormal flow patterns that may indicate system leaks or inefficiencies. Fixing these issues will contribute to cost savings, resource conservation, and greater thermal comfort for building occupants.
Data for reporting – Flow meter data can be incorporated into annual sustainability reports as relevant metrics to demonstrate the company’s commitment to resource efficiency and overall environmental responsibility.
Carbon footprint calculation—By monitoring and understanding their energy consumption, companies can accurately calculate their carbon emissions and stay informed about their reduction targets.
Every step we take in pursuit of a sustainable future has an impact, no matter how small. Implementing flow and energy metering can play a key role in helping organizations achieve these goals. ONICON’s flow and energy measurement products provide the accurate and reliable data businesses need to make informed decisions, improve resource efficiency, and reduce their environmental footprint.
