Text[0]=["Energy Managment Systems","Energy management system is an enterprise application linked to in-store systems for monitoring and managing energy use. Typically include automated control of store comfort systems (heating, cooling, and humidity) as well as lighting, refrigeration and power monitoring.  Also includes a variety of data analysis and reporting functions and potentially interfaces to other enterprise applications and external organizations (such as utilities and service providers)."]
Text[1]=["Simple payback analysis","Simple payback analysis is a quick way to estimate the time required for an energy management system to “pay for itself.”  The calculation consists of dividing installed system cost by the expected energy savings per year using prior year electric/gas rates.  This analysis is not very accurate because it does not take into account projected increases in energy costs, non-energy cost factors or the time value of money."]
Text[2]=["Forward-looking retailers","Forward-looking retailers recognize that their energy ecosystem is in the midst of rapid change that will present them with new economic and regulatory opportunities and constraints.  They also recognize that the energy management systems they install today must be flexible, open and standards-based in order to provide a platform for the future."]
Text[3]=["Demand response","Demand response is broadly defined to be a process or system that results in changes in electric usage from normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the price of electricity or specific utility system signals that indicate excessive demand or an unexpected event jeopardizes overall utility system reliability. Retailers generally have to control energy utilization in many stores to achieve an aggregate level of energy reduction that is large enough to participate in demand response programs."]
Text[4]=["Onsite power generation","Onsite power generation is the use of waste heat recovery, waste stream processing, wind harvesting, photovoltaic or other form of alternate energy generation to provide at least a portion of a store’s energy needs."]
Text[5]=["Energy eco-system","Energy eco-system is the collection of a retailer’s product and service suppliers, plus internal resources that impact the generation, delivery, monitoring, control, analysis and optimization of energy utilization in stores, distribution centers and corporate offices."]
Text[6]=["Industry standards","Industry standards are formal and ad-hoc industry agreements on specific communications solutions and data representations that enable equipment and systems from various members of the Energy Ecosystem to interoperate effectively.  Examples of industry standards relevant to energy management in retail include BACnet, XML and web services."]
Text[7]=["Enterprise Application Integration","Enterprise Application Integration is the process of linking diverse business systems for the purpose of sharing relevant information to enable better business decisions and operations.  A retailer’s enterprise application integration efforts might usefully include linking equipment failure data from an energy management system with an asset management application and/or a service tracking application."]
Text[8]=["Utility company interactions","Utility company interactions are becoming more diverse, complex and automated.  Demand-response, real-time pricing, automated bill audit and other current and future utility/customer programs will present retailers with substantial opportunities to address energy and cost issues."]
