sustainably reduce their associated CO2 emissions
-
secure their energy supply
Engineering & Claims Solutions design and optimize facilities to reach new highly efficient operation. Furthermore, we provide a complete energy assessments service for a wide range of customers including retailers, shopping centers, assembly plants, production facilities, distribution centers, data centers, pharmaceutical GMP facilities, hospitals and office buildings.
It is a fact that fixed costs sometimes defines the success or not of businesses, and energy costs falls in that category which have risen steadily over the last decade and are expected to continue its increasing path due to several factors like:
-
worldwide demand grow
-
political issues
-
oil sellers business expectations
The cost of energy is an extremely true and important issue for businesses of any kind. The rise of energy costs have forced companies to increase their investment in energy-efficient technologies in an effort to reduce energy usage.
For example: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 40% to 60% of the energy used in industrial and commercial facilities is consumed through HVAC systems. Additional to HVAC, In high end industrial and pharmaceutical facilities Compressed air generation and other mechanical utilities equipment accounts for a big chunk (up to 80%) of power bill.
Conversely, only 20% of facility costs are used for lighting. Sometimes the HVAC systems have been largely neglected. Most conventional building HVAC systems are designed to operate at a constant speed. Building loads, however, can be anything except constant. Weather conditions, occupancy, and other factors require the HVAC system to adjust and react. This anemic performance can only been improved with implementation of existing and emerging Integrated Energy Efficiency Solutions.
