A green transition is a transition to a more sustainable economy, with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and using renewable energy sources. Energy management plays a crucial role in this. Through energy management, companies and organisations can optimise and make their energy consumption more sustainable. This can be done, for example, by using smart energy meters, monitoring energy consumption and implementing energy-saving measures. By applying energy management, companies can not only contribute to a more sustainable future, but also save costs and improve their competitive position .

An energy management or energy monitoring system (ems) gives you insight into the energy consumption of your building, home or office. It records trends and peaks in energy use in clear reports. This gives you insight into the current energy flows and the opportunities for energy savings within your location.

The first 'quick wins' are often the proper adjustment of systems and behavioural measures to prevent lights or devices from being switched on unnecessarily. The information from your ems system can also be linked to your building automation . This way you optimally adjust the systems to the use of the building. This saves energy and ensures a comfortable indoor climate. Because in the future the return of generated energy will be discouraged or prohibited, it is important that production and consumption are optimally aligned with each other.

Energy management is also increasingly being actively applied by grid operators to reduce grid congestion.
