Clean technology group ENER-G (www.energ.co.uk) has launched a new
tamper-proof building energy management system (BEMS) – called E-MAGINE
- that is pre-engineered to provide fast installation and
commissioning, and assured lifetime delivery on energy costs and
carbon savings.
ENER-G estimates that E-MAGINE can reduce energy usage by up to 25%
and save costs on capital purchase, commissioning and on-going
maintenance.
“We have tackled two major system flaws that prevent many building
energy management systems from delivering their projected cost and
carbon savings over their lifetime,” said Dr Cedric Rodrigues,
Managing Director of ENER-G Controls.
He explained: “E-MAGINE is pre-configured to recognised standards
for control strategies, without compromising flexibility, so it
avoids the usual deviations in system performance caused by
inconsistent programming. By defining the system prior to
installation, customers benefit from control strategies that are
repeatable and not reliant on an individual engineer’s programming
skills. This also generates faster, lower cost commissioning.
“A second classic flaw in BEMS is that over time various users
adjust the settings and gradually erode the energy efficiency
benefits that the BEMS was designed for in the first place. E-MAGINE
locks-in optimal settings, so that the BEMS achieves peak
performance throughout its lifetime.”
E-MAGINE ( www.emagine-controls.com) uses the latest in IT and
internet technology to provide a fully scalable, integrated control
system that can be customised for optimum control and management of
all heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting
applications. Through the use of open protocols it can integrate
seamlessly with existing back office systems and third party
building control systems and equipment.
A key component of E-MAGINE is its integrated front-end energy
management tool, E-VISION. This online tool serves the needs of
designers, installers and end users to design, commission, control,
analyse and manage energy usage remotely. Using its advanced
analysis and reporting capabilities, building owners and operators
can optimise a building’s energy performance to achieve lower carbon
dioxide emissions and lifetime costs, and comply with different
types of energy legislation and standards.
Designed and manufactured in the UK to recognised quality and
European standards, E-MAGINE is aimed at the industrial, commercial
and residential markets, and can measure and control energy usage
across single and multiple buildings, or an entire property
portfolio. It is available via accredited e-partners, or directly
from ENER-G Controls.
It is suitable for a broad range of applications – from primary
energy sources, such as boilers, chillers, cooling towers,
dehumidification systems and warm air heaters, through to secondary
systems, such as HVAC, fan coils, domestic hot water and air
filtration systems. It can manage indoor air quality by accurately
sensing and controlling the temperature, humidity and fresh air
needs of a building.
E-MAGINE comprises modules such as: E-VISION, an online energy
management tool; E-SERVE, a communications hub; E-GATE, a
router/network expander; E-TOUCH, a room/zone controller; E-CONTROL,
a universal controller; E-EXPAND, an I/O expansion module; and
E-POWER, a power supply unit.
