An Energy Manager is a key player in the smart buildings industry, responsible for ensuring that energy efficiency, sustainability, and cost savings are achieved within a building's operations. They are involved in monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing energy consumption by utilizing advanced technologies, such as building management systems (BMS) and energy management systems (BEMS).

The Energy Manager's primary role is to assess the energy needs of a building and develop strategies to improve its energy efficiency. They are involved in conducting energy audits, analyzing energy consumption data, and recommending energy-saving measures to building owners and managers. They also develop and implement energy management plans, which include setting energy consumption targets, identifying energy-saving opportunities, and monitoring progress towards achieving energy efficiency goals.

One of the most important responsibilities of an Energy Manager is to work with building operators and occupants to develop energy-saving behaviours and practices. This includes educating them on energy-saving practices, providing feedback on energy consumption, and incentivizing energy-saving behaviours through recognition programs.

Energy Managers also play a crucial role in identifying and implementing new technologies that can help to improve a building's energy efficiency. This includes the use of BMS and BEMS, which can help to automate and optimize a building's energy consumption by monitoring and controlling various systems, such as lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

By utilizing BMS and BEMS, Energy Managers can remotely monitor a building's energy consumption, identify areas of inefficiency, and implement changes to optimize energy consumption. This not only results in cost savings for building owners and occupants but also helps to reduce the carbon footprint of the building and support sustainability goals.

Another critical responsibility of an Energy Manager is to ensure that a building's energy consumption is compliant with relevant regulations and standards. This includes ensuring that a building is compliant with local energy efficiency regulations, such as the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) in the UK.

Overall, Energy Managers play an essential role in the smart buildings industry by ensuring that buildings are energy-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective to operate. Through the use of advanced technologies, such as BMS and BEMS, they can remotely monitor and optimize a building's energy consumption, develop and implement energy management plans, and work with building operators and occupants to develop energy-saving behaviours and practices.
