Energy usage can be difficult to gauge, resulting in high electricity bills for large office buildings and warehouses. Working with electrical contractors to implement energy management techniques ensures that you can keep an eye on your energy usage. Read on to learn more about the energy management techniques that Industrial Controls & Electrical, LLC offers.

LED Lighting

Incandescent lightbulbs heat up to emit light, which causes them to use far more energy than LED lights, which do not radiate heat. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, LED lightbulbs can use up to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and can last up to 25 times longer. Replacing bulbs with LEDs not only saves energy and time spent replacing bulbs, it also reduces energy bills significantly. Replacing existing fluorescent lights with LED lighting is one of the many ways that ICE LLC can manage your energy usage.

Energy Management Systems

Energy management systems are a collection of different software and hardware that all work together to monitor and control the amount of energy that a building is using. These elements can include building automation systems, sensors, and software platforms that monitor energy consumption throughout the building. Monitoring a building’s energy usage is a highly efficient method of saving both energy and money on energy bills. Industrial Controls & Electrical, LLC will work with you to determine what combination of equipment will be beneficial to your building that will assist in monitoring energy usage. 

Building Management Systems

Monitoring energy usage is one of the benefits of investing in a building management system. A building management system can control HVAC, lighting, and security systems, allowing for increased efficiency and control over a building’s operations. By investing in an energy management system, building owners can be truly aware of the amount of energy their building is using and take further steps to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, building management systems can provide convenience through factors like motion-sensored lighting that turns off when no one is in a specific room, thus saving energy.
