Advanced Energy-Management-System Sequencing
(AES™) takes any Energy Management System and
makes it significantly more efficient. How efficient? Results range from 20% to 80% in energy savings. next>edge offers a complete turnkey solution, which means the delivery of a fully-optimized system. We assess your needs, engineer the design, custom program the
sequences to your facility and perform installation,
optimization and commissioning. We involve your facility’s
team through education and training, as well as providing
periodic remote system monitoring after installation.
You reap the energy savings. |

| Completely customizable |
| AES™
easily integrates with existing energy management systems
and expands their capabilities exponentially. next>edge
conducts an extensive commissioning phase to optimize
the system for maximum efficiency specific to your facility. |

| Frequently Asked Questions About
AES™ |
 |
| Who benefits most from AES™? |
| Any facility with a central plant. |
| |
| Do I need to already have an EMS? |
No,
next>edge can provide a fully integrated solution
ranging from AES™ to the completion of a central
plant. next>edge also assesses opportunities for
lighting, cogeneration, solar photovoltaic and other
supply- and demand-side management strategies for a
complete, integrated solution. |
| |
| I already have an EMS system,
can AES™ work with my existing system? |
Yes. AES™ is completely customizable and is programmed
to work with any EMS system you are currently using.
AES™ is not an out of the box solution because
there is no out of the box facility. Each facility uses
a different mix of equipment types, ages and manufacturers.
AES™ is custom designed by next>edge for you
and your facility. |
| |
| AES™ is the use of cutting
edge technology combined with tried and true engineering
principles. AES™ takes an overview of your entire
system minute by minute, making efficiency decisions
thousands of times per day. A continuous series of small,
intelligent decisions provide a significant financial
payoff. |

The
AES™ goal in this example is to keep temperature
fixed (the red line.) AES™ does this flawlessly.
|
AES™ manages
individual components from a complete system perspective.
By providing minute-by-minute adjustments, your central
plant saves energy and the response to load is handled
more efficiently. In the example above, system components
change and adapt to provide the maximum overall energy
reduction.
|

The
graphs above illustrate how AES™ adapts automatically
from day to day, based on varying temperatures, weekday
vs. weekend. It runs facilities using the most energy
efficient measures while maximizing performance. |
