Efficient Energy Use in Companies: How We Help

Efficient energy use in companies is becoming critical. Due to a large number of operational parameters and the high frequency of data checks, managing energy processes—especially in real time—becomes increasingly demanding and unmanageable. In practice, specialized tools are used to automatically collect key data from various sources to enable comprehensive energy monitoring.

If a company lacks a systematic Energy Management System (EMS), this can pose significant risks and threats to its successful operation.

• Central control of devices across multiple locations (HVAC units, lighting systems, etc.)
• Remote management of HVAC and other energy-consuming equipment
• Enabling measurement and monitoring functions for energy consumption, giving facility and building managers, energy managers, or other stakeholders access to essential data
• Supporting decision-making regarding energy efficiency measures, purchasing or selling energy sources, and other energy-related decisions using analytics-based insights
• Achieving energy efficiency through process optimization
• Reporting detailed energy consumption by building section, production line, or specific machines
• Developing an energy policy
• Defining energy reduction goals
• Supporting real-time decision-making (identifying and capturing the best savings opportunities)
• Measuring results
• Continuous improvement of energy efficiency

DIAGNOSIS: An Energy Management Information System is a tool that provides insight into energy use and helps identify the causes of excessive consumption. The implementation of such a system is a supporting process within energy management, offering a detailed and clear view of energy use.

ACTION: To address the causes of energy inefficiency, it is crucial to establish a professional team that leads and carries out activities aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of a facility or production plant and enhancing energy efficiency in line with ISO 50001. The foundation for effective operation is a deep understanding of how energy is used and control over the factors influencing its consumption—this is energy management.

Optimal system performance and sustainable improvement of energy efficiency can be achieved through the implementation of the PDCA cycle – Plan, Do, Check, Act. Measuring energy consumption is key to turning measures into actions that result in savings.

• Detailed assessment of energy consumption and use within the organization: Conducting an energy audit for a comprehensive overview.
• Implementation procedures: Defining the steps required for efficient EMS deployment.
• Applied technology: Describing technological solutions and their guiding principles.
• Identification of influencing factors: Energy, financial, environmental, and regulatory drivers.
• Goal setting: Defining clear energy targets.
• Strategy development: Designing a plan to reach set goals.
• Action planning: Establishing a course of action in case of deviations from target values.

Step 1: Conducting a detailed assessment of energy consumption and use in the organization
An energy audit performed by experts provides an unbiased view of the current energy status of a company.

Step 2: Analyzing energy consumption and use
Evaluation of consumption and efficiency in production processes: Achieving energy efficiency requires an understanding of the energy performance of machines and equipment used in production. The focus is on reducing energy use per production unit.

Step 3: Regular and systematic reporting
An energy management system that offers a complete overview of energy consumption allows you to:

• Identify major energy consumers and understand how much energy each device or machine uses
• Access reports on energy savings based on consumption insights
• Use alerts for immediate action in case of deviations
• Gain a clear and precise picture of energy and water use, easily identify energy-saving opportunities without time-consuming manual data handling
• Monitor the effectiveness of implemented energy-saving measures

• Make Energy Consumption Visible.
  Monitor energy and water usage, receive alerts on critical events, and plan further actions for more efficient energy use. Save up to 10% through system implementation.
• Transparent, simple, and efficient energy management.
  Improve energy performance and reduce emissions and energy costs. GemaLogic is an advanced EMS tool suitable for all organizations using or planning to implement ISO 50001-compliant energy management systems.
• Full control from a single platform.
  Connect all buildings, production sites, devices, or machines to the GemaLogic platform for centralized monitoring and management.

Digitalization of Energy Data

• Reduce energy use through monitoring and analysis → identify problem areas that can be improved with minimal or no investment
• Ensure transparency of energy-saving measures

Lower Energy Costs

• Reduced energy use directly lowers energy costs
• Financial incentives for implementing an EMS and/or replacing outdated equipment help reduce consumption and costs
• Lower maintenance costs due to decreased system strain
• Alert systems enable faster response in case of failures

Reduced Emissions and Carbon Footprint

• Lower energy use → smaller carbon footprint
• More energy-efficient equipment → smaller carbon footprint
• Installation of green energy sources → self-sufficiency, lower dependence on conventional sources, and reduced carbon footprint

Compliance with the Latest Energy Management Standards

• Obtain ISO 50001 certification – a recognized international standard that improves your company’s image and credibility with customers, partners, and stakeholders
• Support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• Monitor indicators in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol)
