ENERGY PROJECTS INSTALLATIONS

Lighting

The lighting in your facility dictates the atmosphere and feel of your overall operation. Light levels and color temperature can have an immediate positive impact on employee productivity and overall employee happiness. They also can impact worker safety and facility security. Consider the difference between a dark and well-lit parking lot. These types of projects are considered easy ways to drive ROI based projects, facility upgrades and energy reduction.  

Chillers

Cooling systems often account for the bulk of energy consumption in a plant. Industrial chillers use approximately 20 percent of the total electrical power generated in North America. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that up to 30 percent of energy associated with chillers is lost due to inefficiency. Fortunately, not all cooling systems have to consume such high levels of energy. A more efficient cooling system can create significant energy savings.

Boilers

There are a lot of existing non-condensing boilers with efficiencies in the range between low 70 percent up to low 80 percent. Boilers older than 25 years could have their efficiencies around 65% or even lower. A rating of 65% means 35% of the energy in the fuel wasn’t used for generating heat, it’s easy to see why a boiler rated in the 90s could create fast returns! 

Motors & Drives

Replacing your motors with new energy efficient motors can reduce your energy costs by up to 40% pending age and or type of motor. Drives provide higher efficiency than simple online motors as they use controls to run the motor at a speed that meets your needs rather than always running at 100% capacity. These factors can result in significant energy cost savings, higher production performance and extend the life of the motor.

HVAC Retro-Commissioning

The HVAC retro-commissioning process is about finding the root cause of operational deficiencies within a building and restoring or improving those systems to their most optimal operating conditions. This is done via process and controls improvements, rather than large equipment purchases. These minor adjustments can save anywhere from 15-40% of heating and cooling costs pending system age and deficiencies.

Refrigeration Measures

For supermarkets, grocery stores, or convenience stores, refrigeration may use up to 40 percent of the property’s total energy. That’s why it’s important to maintain refrigeration systems at peak efficiency. Better technology and improved practices can be applied to all types of refrigeration equipment, such as reach-in, walk-in, and under the counter refrigerators/freezers, as well as a multitude of food/drink storage units and display cases. Measures like night shades, anti-sweat heater controls, new motors and controls on all types of refrigeration equipment can create significant energy reductions.

EV Charging Stations

Nearly 50 percent of the world’s total smog comes from motor vehicles. Exhaust from gas- and diesel-powered cars contains a mix of dangerous gases and chemicals. The bottom line: Air pollution is harmful to human health. Communities can take a decisive step toward cleaner air by shifting as much local driving as possible to zero-emission electric vehicles. EV Charging Stations are an essential support to this necessary change!

Smart Metering

Smart meters improve your awareness of energy consumption.  By changing behavioral habits and or making informed decisions, one can drive energy savings. A Smart meter can be used in other ways as well. It can give a facility regular tracking of individual and groups of equipment performance. This information will lead to better productivity and create peak use of energy.
