Nov. 4, 2013: Integrated Building, Enterprise Energy Management to Bring Dividends
For Full Benefit, Systems Need to be Integrated, Not Just Interfaced
LONDON — Both building energy management systems (BEMS) and enterprise energy management (EEM) have major parts to play in delivering distributed energy and demand response services connecting across smart buildings, says Memoori Business Intelligence Ltd. Integrating services in buildings is not a new development but recent advances have spurred demand and opened up new business opportunities. Memoori’s new research report, “The Market for BEMS and EEM 2013 to 2017,” suggests how this will develop, and together how they will achieve more than the sum of their parts when they are fully integrated, not just interfaced, delivering more benefits and a better return on investment.
The largest market for BEMS is North America with a share of 23.27 percent followed by the European Union (EU) at 20.25 percent. Demand in North America and the EU declined in 2007 and 2008 respectively as the construction of new buildings declined.
