AOEM: Accruent Observe for Energy Management
Effectively manage risk, reach energy consumption targets, lower costs, and meet carbon-neutral goals.
The Benefits of Purpose-Built Energy Management Software
Seamlessly monitor, target, and validate your estate’s energy mix to meet net zero goals and keep costs under control.
Optimise energy management processes
Centralise important information – like consumption data from billing and sub-meters – and use it to identify areas of excess consumption, optimise risk and return, and create better energy management processes.
Gain deep visibility into energy usage
What locations use the most energy? Which equipment consumes significant energy? AOEM helps identify and correct high energy use – before the bill arrives.
Monitor and target energy consumption
Monitor, target, and verify your energy data to effectively combat extreme climate events, unsustainable rises in costs, and lack of transparency into your consumption.
Meet carbon neutral goals
Consolidate your energy data, analyse your consumption levels, and figure out exactly what you need to do to meet sustainability goals and reduce your carbon footprint.
Fight surges and rising costs
Worried about rising energy costs and sharp surges during times of peak demand? Use purpose-built features – like a comprehensive dashboard, customisable baselines, and meter tracking – to reduce consumption when necessary and avoid steps in the wrong direction.
What Makes Accruent Observe for Energy Management Stand Out?
AOEM has been at the forefront of groundbreaking innovation in the field of energy management.
Holistic dashboards
All insights are provided on a single dashboard based on all energy consumption. Generate dashboard alerts, allowing immediate action on consumption issues.
Comprehensive automations
Accruent Observe for Energy Management’s automations integrate bills, energy meters and high energy consuming assets, utilising sources such as maintenance history and weather data.
Project tracking
With AOEM’s baseline modeling capability, you can edit and remove baselines with ease, as well as model different energy scenarios in just a few clicks.
Weather normalisation
Automatically normalise your baselines with hyper-local weather data and remove the effect of ambient weather conditions so you can ensure you have clean, consistent points of comparison across different periods or locations.
Smart alerts
Alarm filtering and customisable alerts help you cut out the noise and simplify proactive decision-making.
Sophisticated baselining
Multiple baselines – including rolling 7-day averages, past consumption, and version-controlled, site-specific baselines – provide you with the flexibility you need with your monitoring and targeting (M&T) activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is energy management system software?
Energy Management Software (EMS) is a tool designed to monitor, control, and optimize energy consumption within a facility.
This allows for more attainable carbon-neutral goal setting while keeping costs under control.
Users can combat surging energy costs during periods of high demand, reduce overall consumption within a facility, and collect sustainability reporting to remain on top of their impact.
Are energy management systems worth it?
Yes, energy management systems not only save money, but they also increase uptime and help users make more educated decisions on how to regulate their energy usage.
An EMS makes it easy to manage your sustainability targets thanks to real time data. It can also highlight areas of growth within your existing energy distribution equipment.
Understand where power quality issues might exist within your facility and get proactive insights on how to rectify them.
What are the four primary functions of an energy management system?
A reliable EMS should successfully meet four primary functions: data monitoring, automation, reporting, and future planning.
Data related to energy consumption and production should be identified across all energy-consuming systems. This includes HVAC equipment, lighting sources, and manufacturing tools.
Effective monitoring helps highlight problem areas so that organizations can curtail these inefficiencies fast.
The EMS can then process that data and set automated rules and schedules to optimize energy usage. After a period of time, the analysis and reporting phase begins.
Based on this acquired information, the EMS helps organizations implement better strategies for optimizing energy usage while reducing costs.
These four core functions help create a more comprehensive approach for energy management.
What is the ROI of energy efficiency?
ROI of energy efficiency is the combined savings acquired from energy efficiency improvements, including reduced energy usage, lowered maintenance costs, and improved productivity.
ROI is simply calculated by subtracting the total costs from the anticipated savings, then dividing them by the total costs and multiplying by 100 (for a percentage).
Using Accruent’s Observe Energy Management (AOEM), your energy efficiency ROI can be calculated across a variety of industries and use cases.
How does EMS differ from BAS?
An energy management system (EMS) and a building automation system (BAS) both offer a streamlined way to manage a building’s functionalities, but there are a few key differences at play.
A BAS’s primary focus is on control of a building’s systems, automating functions like HVAC controls, lighting, alarm systems and security functions. An EMS is specific to the energy realm, maximizing energy savings and providing insights for better usage.
