Finally, owners who want to maximize savings but who do not have in-house energy expertise, need fully-managed services.

While other energy management systems require you to purchase new equipment and features you may not want, USE Manager can work with most existing controllers, regardless of brand, and customize a unique plan that works just for you.

How is USE Manager different?

Until now, building energy management has been fragmented. Most solutions concentrate on providing hardware, software or consulting services, but not on delivering all three. Typically, a specific combination of hardware and software must be installed, and the management team of the building is responsible for using it correctly. Too often, the systems are not utilized to their maximum potential.

USE Manager is the first adaptive energy management solution that delivers everything needed for top energy performance.
 

  • It is a complete solution, offering hardware, software, and services. 

  • It is a configurable solution, adapting to your specific needs. 

  • It is an open solution, working with most energy management hardware. 

  • It is a portfolio-wide solution, integrating data from diverse buildings and equipment into a single dashboard.

  • It is a smarter solution, delivering deeper analytics and tools that produce greater savings.

  • It is a results-oriented solution, including the services needed to ensure that energy savings are maximized.

HARDWARE    |    SOFTWARE    |    SERVICES

Customize a unique plan that delivers the solution you want: basic controls, advanced analytics, and/or fully-managed services. Buy only the hardware, software, and/or services you need.

HARDWARE

USE Manager can integrate information from most existing energy management systems, even if they are different brands. Therefore, it is not necessary to purchase new equipment or overhaul an entire portfolio all at once. You can start saving right away, without a large capital expenditure. However, if you would like to upgrade the controllers in your buildings, US Energy Group can arrange installation of a specific model of the USEcontroller, a state of the art system already in 3,500 buildings.

SOFTWARE

USE Manager delivers the most advanced analytics the industry, supported by a scalable NoSQL database that is specifically designed to integrate complex building metrics. You can use key variables, which are stored in a fast, flexible, and sophisticated platform, to analyze historical trends and conduct comparative analyses. USE Manager delivers a portfolio-wide focus, long-term retention of historical data, and the ability to compare buildings with others that are similar. You can use these analytics to detect hidden inefficiencies, which are items that can be repaired to improve the overall efficiency of the building and extend the useful life of the boiler. USE Manager delivers a comprehensive action rules engine that automates actions based on desired set-points. For example, managers can program the system to take action based on a complex combination of factors. You have 24/7 real-time access by computer or mobile device to your entire portfolio, and can even remotely place the boiler on bypass. You can configure an energy management software package that is tailored to exactly what your buildings need.
