BMS and Energy Monitoring System

Energy controlling at Bundeswehr since 2008
With a stock of more than 40,000 buildings the german Bundeswehr operates one of the largest real estate portfolios in Europe.
The operating costs, especially the energy costs, are in the three-digit million range.
The continuous improvement of energy efficiency and thus reducing costs is a key strategic objective for several years.
Project Targets
Creation of a standardized measurement infrastructure that records energy and media for every property and every building
Increase production and use of renewable energy
Prioritization of construction projects on real estate with too high operating costs and thus enabling a long-term overall economic operation
Support for energy saving processes based on regular evaluations of the various service areas (Mission E)
Next Steps
Meters for every building
Expanding reportings for strategic planning
Detailed monitoring for sustainable energy production
Remote maintenance of BMS
Daily controlled energy buying at EEX
Pilot projects with smart buildings (IoT)
Since the introduction of the BMS and Energy Monitoring System, the energy consumption has been systematically controlled and reduced.
Savings of a few million euros yearly were achieved.
