The technology

BACnet-Compliant

Optergy EMS is a suite of server-based modules, which provides the user interface for BACnet-based building management installations. Unlike some BACnet vendor systems, Optergy uses native BACnet protocols and allows communication with all systems and installations complying with the BACnet standard.

Thin Client User Interface

Client interaction with Optergy is via a web-based thin client. No software other than a web browser is required on the client machine. It does not require the client to support the Java Runtime Environment nor are applets downloaded to the client.

Client Permissions

All pages delivered to the client are automatically generated based on the client’s permissions and the security requirements of the selected data. Secure access via user identification token and password. Password policy can be configured to client’s needs including automatic password expiry dates.

Data Security and Client Authentication

A secure connection between the browser and the Optergy EMS portal is established using SSL to ensure data encryption. Use of client and server certificates can ensure that the client and server are authenticated to each other.

Connectivity

The Optergy EMS portal uses TCP/IP, Modbus and BACnet/IP Annex J protocol to communicate with external devices.

BACnet is a data communication protocol for building automation and control networks. It is an ANSI and ISO standard and has been recognised by international standard. BACnet is the predominant standard specified for BMS installations.

Optergy connects to third party systems through an open source SQL database.

The first step to optimising your building or facility’s energy usage is to have access to real-time reporting.

What are the benefits?The key benefits of using Optergy all add up to one thing – a positive impact on your bottom line. As well as helping minimise your environmental footprint, Optergy’s detailed energy usage reports identify opportunities to reduce costs.

Feature: Real-time monitoring

Benefits:

• Ability to respond promptly to problems• Energy use can control maximum demand• See data now, not at the end of the month• You retain control of your data

Feature: Energy tariff calculator

Benefits:

• Compare supplier tariffs using historical data• Validate supplier bills and charges to avoid

over-charging or under-charging• Generate bills for arbitrary periods at any time

Feature: Demand-side energy management capability

Benefits:

• Maximum demand reduction and control• Can time-shift loads to suit lower tariffs• Potential for Demand Side Response with

associated financial benefits

How does it work? Collects raw data

• Connects to meters to acquire data – pulse meters for electricity input and export – smart meters for sub-circuits – water meters for water imports and consumption by cooling towers, toilet flushers, etc. – gas meters• Collects broad variety of data – energy & water consumption – flow rates and temperatures – operation of lighting and plant – incoming and sub-meter data• Communicates with other building systems such

as BMS, Access Control, Lighting, etc

Provides tools to analyse, compare and aggregate the data

• Benchmarking building bill verification compliance time of use and unexpected plant operation tenant billing

Logs the data

• All raw data is logged into a powerful relational database• Logs alarms and events• Old data can be automatically archived and retrieved• Periodical backups ensure data is never lost

Displays data and reports in real time

• Uses a powerful charting package to produce high quality graphical reports

• Provides clear tabular reports where access to detail is required

• Presents reports as HTML or PDF documents• Charts & reports are user configurable

Welcome to the era of real-time energy usage

reporting. The first step to optimising your

building or facility’s energy usage is to have

access to real-time reporting. We all know

you can’t manage what you can’t measure.

Optergy is a system that connects to all your

building’s meters (water, electricity, gas) and

other building systems such as lighting to

collect raw data on consumption, temperatures

and flow rates. This data is presented in a series

of reports via an intuitive, user-friendly web

interface that provides real-time measurements,

tailored to a client’s needs. These reports can

be accessed anywhere, anytime – wherever

you have internet connectivity.

Alerts can be set up to advise of anomalies

in usage behaviour, or any other activity you

need to monitor. Optergy provides the full

suite of tools to measure, manage, report

and ultimately reduce energy usage.
