 BEPAnews™ Article Recap: | |
Pike Research, a global consulting firm, has issued a new report noting that global revenues from building energy management systems are expected to increase almost 14 percent, year over year, through the end of the decade. Building energy management systems can also be used to monitor water and other resource uses.
The information, available at no cost from a press release (and in-depth from a very costly report), highlights the expanding building energy management vertical within the building energy efficiency/LEED/EnergyStar marketplace.
Building efficiency and sustainability are gaining increasing exposure as a perfect storm of rising energy costs, reduced energy supplies, U.S. energy security and the environmental movement all converge, with the help of Information Technology (IT), to address issues never before so completely under the control of building managers.
Elsewhere, wireless sensor networks and software building energy management tools, being developed both in government laboratories and in private companies like Scientific Conservation, Inc. are also saving cash and energy in U.S. buildings, and this perfect storm couldn’t be happening at a more perfect time, given a decision by Obama to improve energy efficiency in government buildings by nearly $4 billion between 2012 and 2014. |
