Businesses worldwide are focusing on reducing their energy consumption and promote environmental sustainability.  State and national restrictions, either already in place or pending, aim to curb greenhouse gas emissions. The result is that your company will most likely either be forced to alter its consumption behavior (demand) or incur even higher energy charges or emission "taxes" moving forward.

Addressing the issue of demand, the U.S. Department of Energy has concluded that an organization can reduce its monitored assets energy consumption by up to 20%. Industry benchmarks agree, stating 6%-11% savings in energy costs are attainable by incorporating energy into asset management practices. 

The opportunity to address energy consumption, as well as greenhouse gas emissions, through Enterprise Asset Management is worth considering. It's not just good for the environment; it's good for your bottom line, as well. 

Infor EAM Asset Sustainability Edition has been created to address the challenges faced by all commercial and industrial (C&I) companies that need to factor energy consumption into their asset management strategy. It factors resource consumption into total asset performance, providing a more complete understanding of the true costs to operate and maintain an asset. The software goes beyond just energy management, factoring in assets that consume any of the WAGES commodities (water, air, gas, electricity, and steam), as well as monitoring of fugitive emissions.

With Infor EAM Asset Sustainability Edition:

• Automate the tasks and processes associated with managing assets and their associated resource consumption.
• Track the consumption of individual assets in real-time;
• Alert users of anomalies when assets exceed acceptable performance thresholds. Through sub-metering, resource consumption is monitored in real-time via wireless sensors.
• Elevate decision-making by incorporating consumption and emission data into KPIs and reports.
• Benchmark the performance of a specific asset to determine the cost of maintaining it at its current energy consumption levels versus replacing it with a newer, more energy efficient asset.
