The issues
- Multi-site operations result in high energy consumption that is difficult to monitor
- Heating and cooling e.g refrigeration and air-conditioing, within stores can work against each other
- Local control of heating plant can impact on effectiveness and increase costs
- Light levels and illumination effects are more important than cost savings
Solution
Lighting
ENER-G can retain the look and feel of a retail outlet whilst still reducing energy. LED and compact fluorescent technology now provide the same high quality finish that the retail market demands but also deliver 50% savings.
HVAC
E-MAGINE - ENER-G's building energy control system - controls heating and cooling equipment to ensure they all run at their optimum settings: using the least energy consumption. This ensures sustainably lower carbon emissions to meet company and legislative targets, whilst still maintaining a pleasant shopping environment.
As E-MAGINE controls are tamper-proof, they overcome the problem of ‘twitchy finger’ syndrome, where various occupiers adjust the zone settings and gradually erode the energy efficiency benefits.
E-MAGINE’s tamper-proof controls restore optimal settings, thus ensuring the system achieves peak savings and efficiency performance throughout its lifetime, whilst delivering maximum levels of comfort.
Metering
Gaining visibility of consumption is key to effective energy management and monitoring energy alone can reduce it by 5%. ENER-G’s BMS bureau team can generate online consumption reports enabling our customers to have real time energy consumption data for all their facilities. They can then benchmark similar operations enabling realistic reduction targets to be set for each facility. The system also has alarm functionality and can e-mail or text authorised personnel when energy consumption is rising or when plant has failed or exceeded set parameters.
