Power Measurement Introduces ION EEM Enterprise Energy Management Software



VICTORIA, BC (June 23, 2004) Power Measurement today announced the next generation of web-based enterprise energy management software: ION(R) EEM. The ION EEM software is designed to help large energy consumers reduce energy-related business risks by controlling energy and operations costs, enabling better procurement strategies, and maintaining reliability. Optimized for commercial office and retail property applications, ION EEM offers key performance indicators, plus benchmarking, forecasting, and control capabilities that can also benefit universities, industrial and research facilities, health centers, and utilities seeking to boost profits and productivity.

Backed by Power Measurement's ION intelligent metering hardware, and fully compatible with legacy meters and automation systems, ION EEM's unique browser-based "dashboard" delivers timely and actionable information that facility and energy managers need to make informed energy decisions in real time. As the primary interface to the energy assets of an entire property portfolio, the software automatically collects meter data and continuously analyzes, aggregates, normalizes and reports enterprise-wide consumption for electricity and all other utilities. Weather, real-time pricing and other relevant data feeds can be integrated with the system. The software automatically validates energy data and all other data feeds to ensure that information is trustworthy and accurate for bill verification and tenant sub-billing purposes. Advanced trend-analysis functions compare consumption and costs over time by location, building or process.

ION EEM also helps operations personnel stay on top of critical conditions at key points through electrical distribution and backup generation systems. This can help reduce operations costs by supporting proactive maintenance, and enable quick isolation and correction of potential problems before they cause equipment failures or outages.

According to Rick Stetler, Power Measurement vice president of sales and marketing, the new ION EEM software provides only the most relevant data to help businesses reduce costs, minimize waste and optimize planning. "ION EEM aligns energy management with business strategy, to help businesses optimize routine processes, from energy procurement, budgeting and benchmarking to cost allocation and operational cost reduction," said Stetler. "ION EEM makes complex energy system data accessible by gathering, cleansing, and integrating real-time and archived data, and presenting it in financially relevant terms to decision makers, planners, and front line staff," added Stetler. "By providing a user-friendly interface for professional analysis, reporting, real-time monitoring, and alerting capabilities, the ION EEM software provides the tools to help large businesses control costs, improve efficiency, and maintain reliability across their entire enterprise."
