Using energy efficient equipment (Passive Energy
Efficiency) is vital but not the whole story. To be effective
sites have to be monitored, managed and controlled to
achieve consistent performance and prevent deterioration.
It is just as important to focus on procurement, operation,
management and maintenance as implementing physical
plant changes. Moreover, cost and carbon savings are
often achieved quickly and at low or moderate cost.
A small increase in capital expenditure can reduce
operational expenditure significantly. Empirical studies of
metering solutions show an average of 5% reductions in
utility bills in a diverse range of buildings. But the financial
rewards do not stop here. Savings in the region of 2-5%
can be achieved by better equipment utilisation and
as much as 10% savings potential can be reached
by improving systems reliability.
Extract from Schneider Electric’s White Paper “Making permanent savings through
active energy efficiency”.
1983
In 1983, Schneider Electric
was already selling sealed
for life SF6 tanks.
Active Energy Efficiency
is vital in addition to
passive energy efficiency
measures in order to
reach the CO2 emissions
reduction targets.
