Commercial buildings are high energy consumers on a global basis, and as such are receiving much attention with regard to the potential savings that can be achieved with new technologies that are being utilized to monitor and control their energy use. Given the challenging business and economic environment of recent years, governments, building owners, building tenants, and companies in general are looking for ways to become more efficient both fiscally and environmentally. Building energy management systems (BEMS) are one key mechanism for achieving these efficiencies. At a higher level, attaining higher commercial building energy performance has been identified as a key component for governments around the world to achieve greater energy security for their countries.

In the midst of these market drivers, the BEMS market is evolving rapidly and is enjoying a burst of innovation. With the increasing use of building automation and control systems, there has been an explosion in the amount of data that is available on the operational, and energy performance of commercial buildings. Although this data can pose challenges for building owners, building managers, and vendors, it has also provided significant opportunities. New companies, new technologies, unique business models, and a variety of market access methods are changing the face of the BEMS market. Small but sophisticated startups are challenging established methods of analyzing building energy performance, and challenging the large established players as well. The established and well known players are not sitting still, however, and are bringing innovation to the way they provide end to end products and services to their clients across the enterprise. Rapid energy modeling, app stores and app labs, energy kiosks, cloud computing, big data, online communities, and continuous optimization are now required in the vocabulary of market participants.
