ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the reader both problems and solutions for dealing with web based energy management systems in mission critical buildings. Techonomics is exactly what is needed to understand the impact of this new technological wave of IT and web-based energy information and control systems. The content of this book-the second volume in a three volume series-is devoted to case studies and applications of web-based energy information and control systems. Addressing these issues with detailed case studies and application descriptions is the goal of this book. Following the web-based EIS case studies is the section with eight chapters on EIS Applications. The applications are similar to short case studies, but in general do not have as much detail on the construction or operation of the web-based EIS. The Web-Based ECS Case Studies section begins with a comprehensive and detailed account of using an EIS/ECS at a Wellness Center at the University of Miami.
