An industry configuration of Smart EMS
Operating challenges
Scepi Smart EMS connects an office building's meters and accessible BMS data. Energy used by heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and charging can be tracked alongside zone usage and operating hours.
Operating context
Investigating night-time and weekend baseload and differing schedules.
Events and comparisons
Comparing HVAC and lighting operating hours with actual use.
Scoped integration
A shared view of site loads from solar PV, charging and building services.
From data to a decision
Measure the right things
Compare like-for-like operating periods and investigate changes before attributing them to an energy action.

Operating hours and time outside comfort limits. Sensor and data-source compatibility is assessed during scoping.
The shared platform
A shared view of operations
Smart EMS brings accessible meter and operating data together. Monitor provides visibility; Executive supports analysis and reporting; Autopilot adds approved control. Interfaces, alerts, retention and integrations are scoped for the site.

If actual savings differ
| Assumption | Annual net benefit |
|---|---|
| Half the entered rate | 601,000 HUF |
| The entered rate | 1,501,000 HUF |
| 1.5 times the entered rate | 2,401,000 HUF |
Uses 50%, 100% and 150% of the entered energy and water saving rates, capped at 100% savings. A sensitivity analysis, not a forecast.
How is this calculated?
Annual net benefit = energy cost × energy saving rate + water cost × water saving rate − annual licence − other annual costs. Payback = one-off investment / annual net benefit. First-year ROI = (annual net benefit − one-off investment) / one-off investment × 100%.
The model assumes constant annual costs and savings. It excludes financing, tax, inflation, discounting and residual value. Measurement supports decisions; savings require validated actions and follow-up measurement. Food safety, process and operational limits take priority.
List prices checked: 28 September 2026. Plans and included services.
What must be measured
Measured reductions in unnecessary HVAC and lighting operating hours. Verified reductions in energy or related contractual costs.
The calculator includes only the energy and water cost buckets entered above. Capacity, avoided damage and other value must be evaluated separately from evidence.
Implementation
Start with a defined measurement scope.
We define the decision to support, the data needed and the operating limits before implementing the integration.
- A meter hierarchy and clarity on which costs the owner and tenants bear.
- Available access and control interfaces in the existing BMS.
- Agreed comfort limits, usage schedules and local overrides.
Survey and scope
Meter list, interfaces, responsibilities and a comparable baseline.
Connect and verify
Connect the required data, test timestamps, gaps and alerts.
Act and measure again
Approve any control rules, test fallback and manual override, then measure results against the agreed baseline.
Frequently asked questions
Questions worth clarifying.
Does Smart EMS replace the building's BMS?
Not necessarily. Accessible BMS data can support a shared energy view, reporting and approved control connections. The division of responsibilities is determined by an assessment of the existing system.
Can it be used to allocate tenant costs?
With appropriate submetering, consumption can be assigned to tenants or zones. Conditions for billing use must be clarified separately based on the meters, data quality and lease agreements.
Whose return on investment does the page calculate?
Compare the investment and savings for the party that bears the related costs. The financial effect may differ for the owner and tenant; the same saving must not be counted twice as a benefit to both.
What does the annual licence include?
Monitor, Executive and Autopilot are annual per-site software licences. Meters, hardware, integration, implementation, operations and optional modules are separately scoped and priced. The calculator uses the published licence prices and editable project budgets.
