Energy efficiency systems are the cleanest, quickest, and most cost-effective way to extend today’s energy supply into the future, and it helps improve the industry’s environmental performance, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with climate change. When it comes to energy efficiency computing systems, the latest technologies to consider include Smart Thermostats, EV Charging Stations, Home Energy Monitors, Smart Home Sensors, Smart Home Security Products, Smart Hubs & Speakers, Electric Lawn Mowers and Portable Solar Products.

• Energy efficiency sensors operate and compute results by utilizing embedded sensors that are within an infrastructure of nodes and are connected to mobile phones and data centers via wireless sensing. The sensor nodes communicate between themselves using radio signals. It produces an electrical output in response to changes. Most common sensors applied in BMS systems include: heat sensors, motion sensors, humidity sensors, movement sensors, gas sensors and electrical sensors. Implementing these innovations and monitoring them through computer systems, helps manage energy and minimizes energy consumption.
• Other sensors to consider:
  • Optical sensors measures electromagnetic energy (electricity and light). They are used in energy and communications industry to monitor variables including light, radiation, electric and magnetic field and temperature.
  • Pressure sensors detect pressure and alert the system administrator of any deviation from the standard pressure range. This is useful in manufacturing as well as in water and heating systems.
  • Water-quality sensors are used in environmental management to measure chemicals, ions, organic elements, suspended solids and pH levels in water.
  • Chemical sensors detect the presence of chemicals in water or air. They’re used to track air and water quality in cities, to monitor industrial processes and to detect harmful chemicals, explosives and radioactive materials.
  • Smoke sensors detect levels of airborne particulates and gases. Because of technological enhancements, they’re now able to notify users of problems immediately.
