The main elements to consider in your building are your heating and lighting and all derivatives of these elements.
For examples of areas to consider see below:
- Installing AC equipment with the best COP (coefficient of performance) normally between 3 and 4 and regular maintenance to keep the COP as close to the manufacturers recommended COP as possible,
- Allowing your gas fired plant to work more efficiently,
- Replacing fluorescent lights for LED especially where T8/T12 are in situ as they are the least efficient form of fluorescent lighting, T5 is a more efficient type of fluorescent lighting however this can still be improved on, additional controls can be added to fluorescent lighting to ensure higher efficiency,
- Where air curtains are installed and required it is important to install the most efficient type of air curtain available
- Controls to external lighting
- Controls to transition space lighting
- Controls to work space lighting
All the above factors put together into a strategy and using a controls system will make for a very energy efficient building and although your CAPEX spend may be higher you will see a very quick return through your OPEX spend being significantly reduced.
We achieve this via the processes set out in the Carbon Consultancy section.
We would recommend installing a BEMS system however if that isn’t possible here are some quick wins to improve your energy usage…
- Reduce lighting costs by ensuring lights are off in unoccupied rooms
- Replace light bulbs with energy efficient LED bulbs
- Ensure all office / electrical equipment is turned off when it isn’t in use.
- Reduce business travel costs, where possible work from home or conduct meeting online
- Maintenance is extremely important to keep equipment running efficiently
- Ensure dripping taps are fixed promptly
- Turn down thermostats by 1 degree
