The use of computer-based controllers to determine the operation characteristics of energy-using equipment and processes so that actual use results in the maximum energy efficiency that is practical.
Products, systems and services for energy management. Examples include electronic light bulbs and low-energy boilers (products), energy management control systems (systems), and energy audits (services).
Part of energy efficiency is energy managment, having an understanding of how your energy is being used.
Energy Management deals with the management of energy and related environmental issues (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions) simultaneously. Specifically, energy management refers to achieving a more efficient use of energy but also comprises aspects of energy policy development and implementation, energy program development and administration, energy tariff analysis and advice, load management, fuel conservation, heat recovery and more efficient processes and equipment.
A continuous planning process that is used to accomplish the efficient use of energy in a building or system.
The development of new materials and technologies to convert and store energy. Energy management also refers to the responsible use of fossil fuels, for example through the development of energy-saving materials such as insulating materials. Energy management at BASF also involves the exploration for and production of crude oil and natural gas in selected regions by our subsidiary Wintershall AG.
In this area, BASF Future Business GmbH is focusing on new materials and technologies to convert and store energy, e.g., functional elements of fuel cells, new materials that employ the thermoelectric effect or super-capacitors.
