• Measurement and verification: The PI System can accurately measure and verify the energy savings achieved through energy management initiatives, providing companies with the data they need to demonstrate the financial and environmental benefits of their efforts.

In combination with our energy:center, our customers have a comprehensive energy management system that supports them in ISO50001 auditing and reducing their energy consumption.

With the help of automatic master data synchronization, all data and system structures are automatically transferred from the PI system to the energy:center. This means that all existing data can be seamlessly integrated into the energy management system. Further calculations are now made within the energy:center and used in energy controlling and energy management. This enables the system to manage energy targets, cost centers, energy suppliers and prices (optional connection to energy exchanges) in direct connection with all existing PI data.

Energy monitoring enables organizations to:

• Collect data on energy consumption and performance: this data can be used to set baselines and targets and track progress towards energy saving goals.
  Identify areas for improvement: Energy monitoring can help organizations identify areas where energy is being wasted and where energy efficiency can be improved.
• Measure and verify savings: Energy monitoring allows companies to accurately measure and verify the energy savings achieved through energy efficiency improvements.
• Optimizing energy use: By monitoring energy consumption in real time, companies can optimize their energy consumption by, for example, adjusting the settings of their equipment or shifting energy-intensive activities to off-peak times.

Energy monitoring is an important component of an EnMS according to the ISO 50001 standard, as it enables organizations to develop a systematic approach to energy management, track progress towards energy reduction targets and continuously improve their energy performance.
