EMS consist of one or more energy conservation measures (ECMs) through load reduction and/or enhanced efficiency of building system operations.

The primary ECMs are highlighted below:

- Industrial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ECMs may include boiler replacements, chiller plant upgrades, and high-efficiency HVAC fan motors and pump motors.
- Lighting ECMs may include upgrades to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) or light emitting diodes (LEDs).
- Water ECMs may include rainwater harvesting, solar water heaters, heat pump water heaters, and installation of low-flow aerators for showers and faucets.
- Building automation control (BAC) ECMs may include installations of EM software, motion detection sensors, and integrated control of various building systems.
- Other ECMs relate to onsite co-generation, renewable technologies (e.g., solar panels, solar water heaters) and building envelopes (e.g., window glazing, improved insulation).

An EMS contract typically includes investment-grade energy audits, project design and engineering, assistance in acquiring project financing, equipment identification and acquisition, commissioning, measurement and verification (M&V), and training for facility personnel.
