When designing an energy conservation system, it is important to be able to collect the operating data so that actual ROI can be monitored and measured against the estimated ROI. The design engineer needs to work closely with the facility engineer to determine what metering and control components are required in order for the facility engineer to do his job efficiently. The same can be said for specifying the expansion of an existing CMMS system so that planned maintenance workorders are available on day one of occupancy.
