Abstract
Managing a building’s energy use by measuring and tracking energy consumption and trends is one of the main functions of a Resource Conservation Manager (RCM) – see sidebar. To carry out this work, RCMs need tools that give them the ability to measure and monitor consumption, facilitate identification and impact of improvements, communicate progress, troubleshoot problems, and help fulfill grant and program reporting obligations, as well as regulatory requirements – such as documenting greenhouse gas emissions. This article discusses different types of energy management tools, and how to determine the best fit for an agency, with an eye to the needs of public sector RCMs.1 Their agencies generally have fewer funds and resources, and different missions and internal organization than private companies. Fewer tools are marketed to this audience than to facility staff, commissioning consultants, or private companies.
