About AEM

American Energy Management  is a systems integrator specializing in building automation. The company is based in Marlborough Massachusetts, and since 1978 has installed over one thousand systems that control over one hundred million square feet of space. These systems monitor the building’s environment and make intelligent decisions about ventilation, heating, cooling, lighting, and building control. They track actual conditions and automatically make changes to deliver measured comfort at minimum operating cost. We have developed highly efficient methods of designing systems, organizing projects and producing tailored application software. This allows us to deliver software systems of uncommonly high quality that are simple to use yet low in cost.

AEM was founded by John L. Martin, and has worked to evolve a very efficient and low cost process for installing sophisticated computerized building control systems. Mr. Martin is an engineering graduate of The University of Notre Dame, and has worked at GTE and IBM in management, communications, electronics, computers and engineering.

Best Pricing - AEM’s Sales Engineers work to understand your needs and requirements then examine various cost/benefit options and present them in a detailed professional proposal for your consideration. We help look into utility rebates, arrange financing, and educate our customers to insure they get the best deal possible and that the results will exceed their expectations.

Professional Implementation - Project Coordination is what makes each project run smoothly. We have developed a formal approach to each project to insure that things get done right and nothing slips through the cracks. Our application engineers layout and document the job. Our project managers coordinate the installation work, startup, and commissioning of each system plus are the primary customer contact. This insures that our customers are dealing with someone who is experienced, knows the details of their job, and is knowledgeable on all aspects of the project including hardware, software, mechanical systems, and scheduling.
Software that works -- AEM’s software is assembled and system tested in our office by our programming department in a controlled environment. This insures that when it arrives on-site it works right and is bug-free. Some of our competitors have their installation people set-up their software in the field to save money. This approach leads to spotty results, produces a much less comprehensive system, and detracts from other project coordination duties. Software is a strong point for AEM. This explains why our systems work so well at startup, and are powerful yet simple to operate.

Responsive Customer Care - AEM’s Customer Service department provides phone and on-site support. Our service department can be reached anytime, 24 hours a day. Our technicians are equipped with radios and cell phones, which allow them to respond quickly and get the information they need. We provide phone support to talk someone through a problem or can access your system directly to make changes and diagnose problems. We can also provide on-site support to fix problems, troubleshoot, provide training, or provide operational assistance.

All AEM systems and components are fully open. That is not the case for many systems that are on the market today. We offer LON, BacNet, and OPC platforms and can interface to many other proprietary systems that have software interface drivers.
