Managed services to meet your energy reduction goals
How do you get the most from your investment in an energy management system? One way to consider is using managed services. What are they, and how can they enhance the return on your investment? To find out, read on.
The decision to invest in an Energy and Building Management System (EMS/BMS) is obviously an important one. That’s why generally, a considerable amount of time is devoted to the selection process (usually months, sometimes years) which involves matching desired to available functionality, checking references, investigating product roadmaps, and so on. Make the right system choice and measurable, long-term benefits should follow.
However, if experience teaches us anything, it’s that there’s more to an EMS/BMS than simply “choose, buy, deploy, succeed”. The real work often starts only after the choice has been made. You have your new system and the high hopes that go with it, but how will you recognize all of the benefits?
NexRev’s managed services offering leverages our in-house experts to achieve the benefits you expect, reduce your costs, and meet your energy reduction goals. We accomplish this by enlisting NexRev’s years of experience and operational excellence to support your team and deliver continuous improvement programs.
The best way to manage?
Before we put NexRev’s managed services specifically under the microscope though, let’s take a helicopter view of the topic and look at the broader arguments for the managed services approach. We’ll answer a simple question here: “why would you go down the managed services route?” There are several reasons.
First among them is expertise. NexRev offers in-house technical expertise and best practices derived from a broad customer base, all with multi-site environments.
Managed services generally make it easier to predict and manage costs and they’re often more cost-effective than maintaining an in-house team for software management. Reducing your in-house burden by outsourcing the management of an EMS/BMS means that your internal team can focus on more critical tasks and avoid the need for additional staffing or specialized training along the way.
There is the benefit of optimizing your system performance. Throughout our 30 plus years NexRev has developed the best practices related to configuring and running an EMS/BMS which leads to better performance, faster response times, and greater overall efficiency.
With thousands of NexRev Freedom EMS/BMS Systems installed across the country, we understand how the control mechanisms and data provided by the NexRev Freedom EMS/BMS can significantly reduce a portfolio’s maintenance spend. With the data provided by the NexRev EMS/BMS it is possible to remotely determine what the likely issue is before a technician arrives on site.
With improved guidance on what repairs likely need to be performed, technicians can focus on the required work and reduce time troubleshooting on site. Leveraging the complete data set of alarms and reporting the NexRev Freedom EMS/BMS provides, our managed services make it possible to perform proactive dispatches instead of emergency truck rolls to address issues while maximizing cost savings through planned, efficient dispatches.
