Aging or improper use of electrical, mechanical and air-conditioning equipment could sometimes cause higher energy consumption and bills. A centralised monitoring system on energy consumption is therefore being sought for facility managers and users to better understand and manage the way energy is being used in their buildings. With a view to enhancing the overall energy efficiency, the centralised monitoring system and database should provide detailed, graphical reports of energy consumption distribution (e.g. by building, by location, by user division, by type of equipment, by energy source, etc). These reports would facilitate benchmarking of energy utilisation and suggest energy saving opportunities.
