2. Energy Management in Smart Cities
• eSight Energy is a global supplier of energy management
solutions
• We develop and market the leading eSight product suite
which is now in use across some 30 countries
• We have three regional offices located in the US,
UK and Hong Kong
• eSight is widely used across the built
environment, government, healthcare,
education, retail and manufacturing
3. Why do we need smart cities?
Cities compete with each other
Good city environments thrive and prosper, they attract people, companies and generate more
revenue and tax receipts
Poor city environments decline and see a decrease in local business
Technology can help to create a better environment but also help reduce energy consumption
4. Energy consumption in cities
Cities represent three quarters of global
energy consumption and 80% of CO2
emissions
Urbanisation is only set to increase,
cities house half the world's population
today but are set to host three quarters
by 2050
To cope with this continued urban
growth we will need to invent new ways
to manage cities and make them more
energy efficient
The convergence between digital
technology and the world of energy will
pave the way for a new ecosystem of
services which will enable a better
quality of life and reduced energy
consumption

6. Why energy management?
Cities are always evolving and the use
of buildings changes over time
Energy saving technologies are
continually being developed; LED
lighting, CHP, heat pumps, district
heating, solar, micro generation
Managing energy in this changing
environment is not easy
You need to provide the tools to
enable people to do this
Building managers need to drive down
consumption and increase
collaboration and competition
Energy management should be part of
the infrastructure of the city
