Energy in Action! — energy services

In a single year, across ninety-one buildings, we found several million wasted kilowatt-hours, hundreds of thousands of therms of natural gas that did not need to be burned, and no small quantity of good old number two heating oil that was not helping anyone do anything. Ninety-one buildings. One year. That is the sample this article draws on, and every ratio you are about to read comes from it.

Explore the Energy Savings, Operational Improvements, and Uptime Benefits Continuous Building Systems Commissioning refers to the ongoing process of monitoring, evaluating, and optimizing building systems to ensure energy efficiency and operational performance. Unlike traditional commissioning, which focuses on ensuring equipment works as designed at post-installation, continuous building systems commissioning is a proactive, ongoing data driven approach aimed at improving performance over the entire lifespan of a building. The essence of continuous building systems commissioning lies in its frequentative process, where anomalies or inefficiencies are identified, investigated, and resolved continuously - thereby maintaining and enhancing the building's energy efficiency profile and...

Data centers are the backbone of the digital economy, supporting everything from cloud services and e-commerce to healthcare and banking. However, their growth has come at a significant environmental and energy cost. Data centers globally consume vast amounts of electricity, much of which is still sourced from fossil fuels, making them a major contributor to emissions. According to McKinsey & Company, a recent analysis of current trends suggests that global demand for data center capacity could rise at an annual rate of between 19% and 22% from 2023 to 2030 to reach an annual energy demand of 171 to 219 gigawatts.
