A Study of Central Energy Monitoring and Control (CEMC) Systems.

Abstract

The Central Energy Monitoring and Control (CEMC) systems began in the 1950s as an attempt to reduce rising labor costs in building management. The ensuing development of the computer and the mini-computer which created more sophisticated systems and the start of the 'energy crisis' started their application for energy reduction and optimization in facilities. This report explains the components of a computer-based CEMC system, its functions and its capabilities. Other types of systems are briefly described for comparison. The terminology peculiar to CEMC systems is defined and some of the systems available today are described. The results of questionnaires sent to present users of these systems are discussed. The problem with the specification and procurement of CEMC systems is presented. The source of the problem and some solutions proposed by other are given. The use of CEMC systems on College Campuses is discussed. The history of the proposed system installation on the University of Colorado Boulder campus is reviewed and updated. (Author)
