Municipal energy management system

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The municipal energy management system , or Kom.EMS for short, is a standardized web tool for setting up and expanding an energy management system that is specialized in meeting municipal requirements .

Origin and history

The municipal energy management system is a joint development of the state energy agencies from Saxony, Baden-Württemberg, Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt.

The web tool was published and presented on September 13, 2018 as part of a meeting of the federal / state working group “Climate, Energy, Mobility - Sustainability” in Berlin.

Content

The aim of the web-based tool Kom.EMS is to develop efficiency and energy saving potentials through a systematic and continuous approach to the management of municipal buildings and facilities. The focus is on reducing costs and consumption through non-investment and low-investment measures in existing buildings, as well as preparing targeted investments in renovation and new construction.

Four tools are available on the komems.de website, some of which can be accessed directly and others only through prior registration. Registration and free use is only possible for cities, municipalities and districts of the federal states involved.

  • Kom.EMS guide is a guide for the systematic development of a municipal energy management. It is available free of charge as a PDF or in the form of a printed brochure
  • Kom.EMS Check is a freely accessible online form which municipal administrations can use to check the quality of their existing energy management.
  • Kom.EMS Wissensportal is a collection of work aids, checklists, tips and examples for energy management (e.g. sample resolution proposals, requirements for energy reports, etc.). Prior registration is required for use.
  • Kom.EMS Quality Assurance is a catalog of questions, evidence and assessment for an internal and external quality check, arranged according to fields of action. Prior registration is required for use.
