Virtual Energy Management (VEM)
24/7/365 AI-assisted analyst team, IPMVP M&V and alarm management.
What is Virtual Energy Management?
Virtual Energy Management (VEM) is a 24/7/365 service in which AI-assisted analysts watch your metering, controls and alarms, then act or alert your team. VEM provides IPMVP-compliant measurement and verification and keeps savings in place even when facility staff change. It is the operational backbone of every SSI project.
What is Virtual Energy Management?
Equipment drifts. Overrides get left on. A failing compressor uses more energy for weeks before it trips. VEM catches these issues early.
Our analysts use AI-assisted analytics to spot anomalies across every connected meter and sensor, then contact your team with a clear recommendation.
How does it lower your bill?
- 24/7/365 monitoring of energy, alarms and thresholds.
- Persistence: savings do not disappear when staff turn over.
- Monthly reporting in kWh, kW, dollars and CO2.
- IPMVP-compliant M&V for incentives and internal reporting.
Typical savings
Protects and extends project savings; operational savings typically 5–15% (typical, varies by facility).
Typical, varies by facility. Confirmed through an on-site audit and metered M&V.
Ideal facilities
- Multi-site portfolios
- Facilities with lean maintenance teams
- Grocery and cold chain
- Any client that wants verified, persistent savings
Utility capital pays for part of the upgrade
VEM supports the measurement and verification required by custom incentive projects and protects incentive-funded savings over time.
- We identify every eligible NV Energy prescriptive and custom incentive.
- We stack lighting with controls to raise the incentive 20–50%.
- We prepare and submit the application, then verify savings under IPMVP.
Measured under IPMVP, monitored 24/7/365
We follow the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). Before work starts we set a metered or engineering baseline. After installation we measure the same loads and adjust for weather, occupancy and operating hours. The difference is your verified savings, and it is reported in kWh, kW and dollars.
