INTRODUCTION
In a world where managing energy efficiently and sustainably is no longer optional
but imperative, companies face a significant challenge: the vast and complex task of
handling energy data. Traditionally, this data management often involved
cumbersome manual processes prone to inaccuracies and inefficiencies. Now, with
the ever-tightening grip of regulatory requirements and the escalating demand for
transparency in sustainability practices, businesses are compelled to reassess their
energy strategies to remain compliant. Cities and states are increasingly enforcing
energy benchmarking, disclosure, and transparency mandates through building
performance standard legislation such as New York's Local Law 97, Boston's BERDO,
and Denver's Energize Denver. Such measures emphasize the urgency for in-depth
energy reporting and strategic energy management.
Enter Energy Management Systems (EMS) and sustainability software solutions like
WatchWire by Tango. These systems are designed to streamline the complexities of
data aggregation, tracking, measurement, and disclosure of energy and
sustainability metrics. By deploying an EMS, organizations not only adhere to
regulatory demands but also position themselves to realize substantial cost savings
and enhance their sustainability credentials. This introduction aims to unravel the
tangible and intangible returns on investment (ROI) that companies can achieve by
leveraging WatchWire by Tango's comprehensive EMS and sustainability reporting
software.
WHAT IS AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS)?
Energy management and information systems are a family of smart building
analytics technologies used to reveal hidden energy waste and provide predictive,
optimized control. These software systems are critical to achieving major reductions
in energy use, healthy, grid-interactive buildings, and energy performance
transparency. Sustainability software extends beyond energy management to
encompass comprehensive environmental data management—ranging from
emissions and climate analytics to biodiversity, waste, and financial implications.
These tools serve as a critical component for organizations aiming to track, report,
and optimize their environmental impact comprehensively.
