📋 Tender Overview
Project : FIN-004-18
Project Description : Centralized and common support for the development and installation of an energy management system throughout the City of Windsor’s many properties and buildings brings an enhanced means of addressing shared issues. This includes joining and leveraging similar projects for overall capital cost savings, and bettering communication and transparency concerning energy asset management throughout the Corporation. Because energy data is currently received at regular billing intervals, heightened consumption is ordinarily observed between thirty and forty-five days following an event. Daily monitoring enabled by an integrated monitoring system can prevent the persistence of increased consumption and cost by alerting Energy Initiatives to respond to anomalies in individual equipment use and a facility’s power quality, which can prolong the life of motors, pumps, compressors, and other systems throughout the Corporation. For power generation and energy infrastructure projects, improved technical collaboration among the City of Windsor and stakeholders in Windsor’s energy supply (EnWin Utilities, District Energy Windsor, and Union Gas) are capable of delivering added value by marrying individual efforts for more impactful and cost-effective projects. Facilitating this cooperation and the development of an integrated energy management system requires a dedicated individual to liaise between the City of Windsor’s Asset Planning, Facilities, and Information Technology (I.T.) departments toward establishing its fundamental elements of hardware, software, and infrastructure including distributed sub-metering and building automation systems. It further involves coordinating process changes both internally and at Windsor’s utilities for the real-time collection and transmission of electricity, natural gas, and district energy consumption data
