Track D: Better Plants Program
Session D1: Energy Efficiency and Management
September 17, 2025 | 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Cutting Edge Building and Production Line Energy Management
Leverage networked devices and systems programming to achieve the following objectives:
Monitor environmental conditions (including office areas, comfort, laboratory, processes, and safety)
Enhance equipment performance
Reduce energy consumption
Track trends – meter data for energy monitoring
React to alarm situations
Keep operations staff updated
Integrate with other fire or security systems essential to the plant’s functionality
Offer infrastructure load data for planning plant expansions and modifications
Assess costs and savings related to energy usage
All managed through a single control system that is 100% owner-engineered, programmed, and maintained to ensure maximum consistency and the lowest possible cost.

Vision Statement for Infrastructure Control: “The only effective method to eliminate utility waste is by providing exactly what is required, when it is required, for only as long as it is required.”
The only way to accomplish the above statement is through utilizing a fully integrated Energy Management Control System (EMCS). EMCS must be strongly supported by top level management while being designed, programmed and implemented by a staff of dedicated individuals who under a single competent authority gradually implement proven “best practices” and thoroughly tested technologies.
