Savings for Retail Properties through Active Energy Management

Määttänen, Eeva ; Kyrö, Riikka LU ; Anna-Liisa, Lindholm and Junnila, Seppo (2011)
Abstract
The built environment accounts for 40% of the total
energy consumption and CO2 emissions in Europe.
Furthermore, the majority of environmental impacts of
properties are generated during the operation phase of the
building. Increasing energy efficiency through energy
management could offer an effective solution to managing the
CO2 emissions of a building through its life cycle. Building
automation systems are linked with energy consuming building
systems and with appropriate monitoring and control offer
potential for energy efficiency improvements and energy and
CO2 savings. The purpose of this study is to present a simple
and effective approach to building energy efficiency by

The built environment accounts for 40% of the total
energy consumption and CO2 emissions in Europe.
Furthermore, the majority of environmental impacts of
properties are generated during the operation phase of the
building. Increasing energy efficiency through energy
management could offer an effective solution to managing the
CO2 emissions of a building through its life cycle. Building
automation systems are linked with energy consuming building
systems and with appropriate monitoring and control offer
potential for energy efficiency improvements and energy and
CO2 savings. The purpose of this study is to present a simple
and effective approach to building energy efficiency by
optimizing building processes throughout the operating phase
of the building. This study describes the function of a remote
energy management control center and presents the benefits it
can bring for the environment, property owner and property
user. The study is conducted using case study methodology.
The case under review is a remote energy management control
center operating under the service portfolio of a global
commercial facility services provider. A data sample of the
energy consumption of 44 retail properties was analyzed.
Additional data collection methods included observation and
interviews. The study shows that consumption of electricity can
be decreased by 4.85% and heating energy by 6.73%, totaling
2458 ton reduction in CO2 emissions and 695,981 €, via the
implementation of a continuous and regular energy monitoring
and control of building systems and equipment. Further
analysis show that the decrease will continue in the future. (Less)
