With the revised
deadline for achieving ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) compliance just
one week away, the government has released a guide to help organisations
realise some of the potential energy savings highlighted during the compulsory
audit.
Entitled ‘A
guide to implementing energy savings opportunities’ and produced in
partnership with the Carbon Trust, the paper aims to help those companies that
are inexperienced in carrying out energy-efficiency improvements.
In addition, the guide offers advice to energy managers on
how to make proposals more attractive to decision makers who may be sceptical
about the return on investment offered by new equipment and practices.
The paper should also be useful for those who have attempted
to implement energy-efficiency measures in the past, but were unable to
complete the projects or were disappointed by the results.
Along with a glossary of terms and useful contacts, the
guide features a clearly-defined four-step plan for putting energy-efficiency
measures in place:
1.
Build the business case
2.
Convince decision makers
3.
Implement the project
4.
Monitor and verify
The guide discusses energy-saving improvements in electric motor-powered
processes such as HVAC and pump applications, where the installation of
variable-speed drives allows users to reduce energy consumption by as much as
60 per cent.
As a founder member of the Authorized Value Provider
programme, Gibbons Engineering Group is part of a select network of companies
approved to supply, install and deliver specialist services for ABB drives.
We have decades of experience in helping clients across the world significantly
reduce their energy consumption, delivering projects within the healthcare,
manufacturing and education sectors to name just a few.
So to discuss your industrial or commercial
energy-efficiency requirements, call Gibbons’ Drives Manager Alan Roberts on
