What is continuous monitoring. How can this be applied to conserve energy?
Continuous monitoring is the process and technology used to detect compliance and risk issues associated with an organization's financial and operational environment. The financial and operational environment consists of people, processes, and systems working together to support efficient and effective operations. Controls are put in place to address risks within these components. Through continuous monitoring of the operations and controls, weak or poorly designed or implemented controls can be corrected or replaced – thus enhancing the organization’s operational risk profile. Investors, governments, the public and other stakeholders continue to increase their demands for more effective corporate governance and business transparency.
Application in Conservation of Energy:
• Continuous Monitoring
Various meters will gather building energy usage information on a 24/7 basis. This information can be accessed in real-time, allowing for a low cost and highly effective way to keep energy usage in check.
• Requirements
1.Install permanent building energy system monitoring
2.Energy management information system
• Deliverables
1.Status report
