The economy has forced most - if not all - U.S. companies to seek ways to reduce non-essential and otherwise variable costs. A new opportunity has emerged in recent years with the advent of affordable lightweight energy management systems that can be controlled on-site or remotely - particularly those designed specifically for previously underserved small to medium sized commercial facilities like restaurants, convenience stores, retail shops and bank branch offices.

“The best commercial energy management systems on the market today can be delivered and installed for $2,000 or even less and with a monthly service contract below $50.” ??? Can you substantiate these numbers? I’ve been in the building automation and energy management space for quite some time. I don’t think this is realistic, and you’re setting the wrong expectation. Further, each building/site is unique in its requirements. These number are (sorry) just way too low. Multiply your numbers by at least three, as a starting point.

Would you know the estimated cost of a dial-in EMS for a 40,000 sq ft office bldg on a military base? Mid-Atlantic region. Johnson Controls system is what we’d be tying in to. Ball park?

Please let me know where I can purchase a BMS or EMS for under $2,000.00. All that I’ve worked with are over $3,500.00 just for the parts for a small 3,000 square foot commercial building.
