Digital Technologies for Energy Management (DTEM) are technologies that gather data from energy metering, building and process management systems and use software to report/analyse this data – and in some cases control the energy using equipment to optimise its energy use.

The effective use of DTEM will underpin your organisation’s energy management activities, allowing you to:

  •  monitor energy consumption and detect avoidable energy waste
  •  notify unexpected energy use
  •  allow responsive and effective remedial action
  •  provide real time control adjustment based on system set points
  •  help quantify the resulting savings
  •  identify further productive lines of investigation
  •  provide feedback for staff awareness
  •  improve budget setting
  •  undertake meaningful benchmarking.

This online guide includes how to: write an energy strategy, build a business case, select DTEM and purchase DTEM.
