Why you should invest in an
ECS Energy Management System
Today's world is becoming more automated and ECS Controls strives to provide economical and reliable Energy Management Systems (EMS) for today and throughout the 21st Century. In keeping with this objective, ECS applies standard, field proven hardware, software, and system integration techniques to produce the best possible price/performance packages available. With the flexibility of various manufacturers hardware and software products offered by ECS, coupled with a desire to work with the customer, an ideal opportunity is provided to utilize Direct Digital Controls and Energy Management.
Direct Digital Controls (DDC) provide an innovative, cost-effective method of monitoring and adjusting system operation in one building or a whole complex. But what is DDC? Although it stands for Direct Digital Control, it really refers to a controller that incorporates a microprocessor to make all control decisions. DDC systems offer much greater flexibility than older fixed-function or mechanical systems. Additionally, they have the option of connecting to a central station (personal computer) so that maintenance personnel can monitor the equipment status, view "alarms" and change setpoints, either locally or off-site via modem.
A Computerized DDC system insures Energy Management in two principle ways: First, the DDC system has the unique ability to assemble, calculate, use, and act upon criteria, and conditions that could not be done by any other means in the time frame required to be effective. Second, it provides information to the operating staff advising them of preventative/corrective actions to be taken to insure peak efficiency of all controlled equipment.
There are many advantages to using an Energy Management System, and in summary here are just a few:
- Improve Comfort
- Improve Indoor Air Quality
- Optimize Building Operation
- Reduce Building Operational Costs
- Better use of Maintenance Staff Time
