Transforming the market through EMIS

Despite the overwhelming savings potential of EMIS — the U.S. DOE estimates that deployment of EMIS can be used to achieve building energy savings of 10% to 20% — many commercial real estate decision makers are still not taking advantage of the opportunities to adopt this technology. 

Within the commercial real estate sector, lack of market awareness and understanding of the value of EMIS remain as hurdles and many professionals are unfamiliar with technologies beyond the common building automation system, or BAS. Today's EMIS market is also saturated with products, leaving potential adopters in a state of confusion about which product would work best for them. This confusion oftentimes leads to disinterest, thus impeding uptake.

This IMT report analyzes these and other key barriers, while presenting current national trends and solutions for how commercial real estate professionals, EMIS vendors, utilities, and local government actors can spread the usage of EMIS and with it create lasting change in energy management.
