Energy Efficiency
Older equipment tends to be less energy efficient. Upgrade or Replace them may make financial sense. Cost savings could be used to fund retrofit. ENEFCO specialists will assist building owner to develop highly efficient system that generates the energy savings warranted.
Chiller Plant Retrofit ( e-SAVVE system )
Air-conditioning is the largest energy guzzler in a building especially in tropical climate. In many case, it forms up to 60% of total energy consumes. While it is a good practice to evaluate all the energy conservation measures including lightings within a building, it also makes sense to look at the ‘elephant in the room’ which in this case is the chiller plant. A typical chiller plant more than 10 years old may operates at system efficiency of > 1.0 kW/RT. With e-SAVVE system, customer can confidently retrofit their plant to 0.65 kW/RT or better, an improvement of at least 35% ,big $$$ savings! ( see below figure : e-Savve system value proposition )
Building Diagnostics ( e- SAVVE Audit )
Why Audit?
- Building Systems accumulate problems over time
- Change in uses
- Drifting of set points of controls
- Adjustments made to minimize complaints– ends up wasting energy
- Compliance with statutory requirements
Potential Energy Audit Outcome
- Locate Problems due to poor maintenance
- Locate cause of Indoor Air Quality
- Identify systems that may not be working at its desired condition
- Identify Budget needed for improvement
- Correction of the issues could yield:
- 10– 50% of energy savings in annual energy spending
- Typical payback periods 6- 36 months
