Energy Management Information Systems

NLR works with the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) to help federal agencies design, procure, and implement energy management information systems (EMIS) to meet building energy cost reduction goals and comply with federal facility energy efficiency laws and requirements.

EMIS aggregate facility data to optimize energy use for buildings and campuses.

NLR's Energy Management Information System standardizes data, facilitates reporting, and enables new insights for 19 buildings across two campuses located along Colorado's Front Range. Illustration by NLR

Research and Demonstration at Federal Facilities and Campuses

NLR helps federal agencies design, procure, and implement EMIS to help meet their building energy cost reduction goals and comply with federal facility energy efficiency laws and requirements.

Impact: Direct agency support, publications, trainings, templates, and case studies deliver multiple levels of support for federal agencies at every stage of EMIS design, procurement, and installation.

Partners: FEMP
