Both building energy management systems (BEMS) and enterprise energy management (EEM) have major roles to play in delivering distributed energy and demand response services.

Together, these two technologies can reach across various applications to better connect buildings, energy markets and the physical grid.

Integrating the technical services in buildings is not a new development. But more recently, advances in technology — along with the need to reduce CO2 emissions — has opened up new business opportunities. Memoori’s new research report, The Market for BEMS and EEM: 2013 to 2017, seeks to establish how these opportunities will develop and offer better returns for customers.

There is no doubt that through alliance, acquisition and integration, these two separate businesses will play a vital role in maximizing energy conservation in buildings while generating income and reducing operating costs.
