After making an investment in a significant energy project, how do you ensure that you are gaining the maximum cost savings and reliability? Will the monitoring and verification plan be revenue-grade?

An experienced management team with timely access to accurate data across multiple facility sites and platforms is critical to ensuring the performance and reliability of energy conservation measures. One of the distinguishing values that CEPS provides is the sustainability component of an energy project once it is commissioned. The tool we have developed to support this service is Enerscope, an energy data warehouse, with a wide range of reporting, alarming and analytical capabilities. This tool combined with our extensive energy-systems is the key to sustaining your project’s success.

Enerscope is a Web-based software application and data warehouse for the acquisition and analysis of energy- or product-related data. Automated programs import interval data into the Enerscope data warehouse system. Energy managers or CEPS engineers can then access the information through the Internet at any time. The data is available in the form of line graphs, HTML tables on Web pages, or Microsoft Excel-compatible download files. Enerscope also supports configuration and e-mail notification for alarm based on complex thresholds. The account service component of Enerscope displays Adobe Acrobat versions of key project documents such as invoices, contracts and logs.

The Enerscope centralized monitoring system presents Web-accessible data from legacy or state-of-the-art control systems installed in your facility. Our system and the highly qualified engineers, who support it, combine to provide the expertise and technology you need to help you solve mechanical and temperature issues at your facility.

• Clients access to single site to view data from all control systems – regardless of manufacture.
• Flexible design allows for storage and standardization of data from any EMS or input system with out loss of information.
• Near real-time automated data collection and processing.
• Data from any time period can be selected, graphed and exported to spreadsheet for further analysis.

Using Enerscope, you can help ensure that installed equipment is operating as designed. If energy savings fall below anticipated levels, custom alarms are triggered in the energy data warehouse. E-mail notification alarms can also be directed to appropriate facilities or management staff. CEPS personnel analyze associated data to identify the shortfall’s cause. Facilities personnel are then notified of the problem, so appropriate action is taken. Warranty problems with controls or mechanical equipment are directed to the designated contractors for prompt action. Our operations team’s extensive experience in process, HVAC, and electrical and control systems ensures your energy project’s long-term success.

Enerscope is much more than just a building automation system – it is a true energy management system. With access to the Operations Center at CEPS, you gain the advanced technology of Enerscope plus many years of operation experience to support your energy-project investment.

The Operation Center capabilities extend far beyond ensuring the ongoing saving of energy projects. We operate chilled water plants, thermal storage systems, and peak-shaving generation equipment for hospitals; controls systems for large school districts, and manage plant maintenance for a variety of facilities. If the demands of your facility outpace your resources, CEPS can provide the expertise that allows you to focus on your core business.
