Energy Management Systems
Ozark Energy Services offers scalable energy monitoring and management systems for a variety of applications. Products range from inexpensive systems capable of controlling a few HVAC units remotely to advanced systems that continually monitor plant energy usage and power consumption of individual pieces of equipment.
Capabilities
A variety of products from a number or manufacturers are available. Each has its own unique advantages, disadvantages, capabilities and price-points. OES can design, install and commission the system that best fits your current needs and future plans. Some of the features available include:
- Zone Temperature monitoring
- HVAC Control (Electronic, Pneumatic, 1 or 2 stage)
- Analog & Digital I/O
- Alarms (water level, temperatures, equipment status, etc.)
- Systems Scheduling with Remote and On-Site Override
- Instantaneous and Historical Power consumption through utility meter or sub-metered circuits
- Use your facility’s existing LAN, existing Wi-Fi or a 3rd party cellular service
- Smart Phone capabilities
- Native and CSV access to historical information
- Wireless sensors for fast, unobtrusive installation
Benefits
Remote access provides the ability see and control your building’s systems while off-site. The most common application for this technology is for heating and cooling, but several other uses arise. Thermostat setback schedules can be set via a centralized, intuitive system, eliminating the need to walk to each stat to modify parameters. The schedule can be temporarily overridden remotely or at the temperature sensor/thermostat.
“You can’t manage what you don’t measure” is an old management adage. Modern building management systems allow you to see where electricity and natural gas are being used in real-time and as historical charts. This allows for fast, intuitive analysis of the impacts of energy conservation measures or changes to equipment utilization.
Alarms with text-messaging capabilities can keep you updated of changing and potentially costly changes in your building. Common applications include: occupancy sensing, zone temperature (high or low), cooler temperature, humidity, water level.
“The whole process went smoothly and we were very happy with the finished product. Now, it’s easy to control and monitor our numerous HVAC systems.”
