If it wasn't for the global need to save energy, the term "energy management" might never have even been coined. Globally we need to save energy in order to:

Reduce the damage that we're doing to our planet, Earth. As a human race we would probably find things rather difficult without the Earth, so it makes good sense to try to make it last.

Reduce our dependence on the fossil fuels that are becoming increasingly limited in supply. In case of Data handling in New Zealand this is important.

Wind turbines aren't enough

Energy management is the means to controlling and reducing your organization's energy consumption and controlling and reducing your organization's energy consumption is important because it enables you to:

Reduce costs – this is becoming increasingly important as energy costs rise

Reduce carbon emissions and the environmental damage that they cause - as well as the cost-related implications of carbon taxes and the like, your organization may be keen to reduce its carbon footprint to promote a green, sustainable image. Not least because promoting such an image is often good for the bottom line.

Reduce risk – the more energy you consume, the greater the risk that energy price increases or supply shortages could seriously affect your profitability, or even make it impossible for your business/organization to continue. With energy management you can reduce this risk by reducing your demand for energy and by controlling it so as to make it more predictable.

On top of these reasons, it's quite likely that you have some rather aggressive energy-consumption-reduction targets that you're supposed to be meeting at some worrying point in the near future... Your understanding of effective energy management will hopefully be the secret weapon that will enable you to meet those aggressive targets.

About the Company: RealData started as a Software Engineering company we specialized in database and .NET software development. Most of our projects are based around reading data from third party gear and store the values into tables in a database we then develop a .NET graphical interface to retrieve the data from the database and output it into a report.
