Six Steps To Powersaving
1. Initial contact and walk-through inspection of facility.
2. Evaluation report and approval to conduct an Energy Audit and spot saving opportunities.
3. Facility Audit - On and Off Site Performance - Our engineers will inspect and collect data related to energy from your entire facility. Your system will receive the highest degree of detailed attention during the site survey, including:
- a suite of in-depth inspection of major loads and electrical panels
- detailed visual inspection of electrical distribution system
- review billing history for usage and demand characteristics
- gathering data load by load from equipment, HVAC and lighting at the entire facility
- determining the effective load and run times of lighting, mechanical equipment and HVAC
- widespread harmonics testing in the facility
- building envelope, insulation and inspection of windows and doors
- inspection of boilers, furnaces and building automation system
- computer simulation for best balanced cost reduction against load and power quality
- interview staff and create a corporate awareness program to conserve energy
4. Project Proposal - All of the information gathered will be recorded into standard forms and spreadsheets to spot energy saving opportunities. Perform computer simulation and provide the solution into a project design report. This proposal will include:
- detailed report of energy bill costs and history
- explanations on how those costs are created by different types of load segments
- report on overall connected electrical load by type of equipment
- specific statement of the work we recommend to be performed
- financial costs, payback period, tax savings, ROI and guaranteed savings
- leasing options with no capital costs - lease payments made from monthly savings
- guaranteed savings program backed by third party insurance if required
- reduced maintenance costs and other secondary benefits of the retrofit work
- details of training & orientation of staff towards savings program, monitoring and tracking
5. Project Installation - (After evaluation and approval by the client): The energy efficiency project in your facility is a carefully engineered action plan for improvements at site to save on consumption & maintenance costs and increase asset value by:
- installation of power conditioning systems and devices to save electricity - (KW & kWh)
- retrofits of fluorescent T12/magnetic ballasts and installation of High-bay energy efficient fluorescent fixtures replacing metal halide lamps
- installation of lighting controllers for base board heaters, fluorescent and HID lamps
- treatment/upgrade of boilers, motors, HVAC systems
- building automation systems, motion sensors and dimmers building envelope and insulations
- natural gas conditioning to achieve efficient combustion and avoid wastage
- orient people towards savings with workshops and group participation
6. Ongoing verification, monitoring, tracking and reporting of savings
