Energy Efficiency Initiatives for Commercial Energy Management

Commercial Energy Efficiency Initiatives William Dyer Electrical (UK) Limited

Energy Efficiency Initiatives for Commercial Energy Management Organisations with energy bills in excess of £500,000 are obliged to make significant improvements in energy usage and carbon emissions in order to meet the mandatory carbon trading scheme ‘CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme’ (CRC EES).

In order for companies to take the steps to reducing their energy consumption, they must first measure and monitor the existing output which will enable them to subsequently improve upon their energy consumption moving forward.

There are basic energy management systems that can be put in place for reporting monthly consumption of gas, electricity and logistics.

As a starting pointing, organisations should undergo a thorough energy survey, which will highlight areas for improvement and demonstrate the changes needed to enable them to save energy and reduce emissions moving forward.

In addition to this, online monitoring toolkits can be used for progress monitoring and calculating savings for energy efficiency projects.

Once energy measurement tactics are put in place and energy consumption is being identified, the overall usage can then be improved upon.

Organisations taking steps to becoming more energy efficient can quickly become more sustainable whilst keeping to best practice measures allowing them to formalise their energy policies and meet green objectives.

With staff involvement at all levels, companies can establish a culture of energy awareness and a corporate ethos to continually improve their energy management and become more sustainable.

William Dyer, MD of William Dyer Electrical (UK) Limited explains “Working with large public and private sector organisations to enable them to become more energy efficient is a core part of our business. All of our installations enable clients to make significant reductions in energy consumption and therefore their carbon emissions.”

Energy Efficiency Initiative As an organisation, William Dyer Electrical (UK) Ltd was recently recognised in the national Electrical Industry Awards for the Energy Efficiency Initiative Award 2011. This recognition was based on one

of the recent energy efficiency projects that they worked on with one of the North West’s largest manufacturing plants.

The extensive project involved the installation of energy efficient lighting throughout the factory with daylight dimming sensors built into each fitting. Low energy cluster lamps were installed to loading bay low bay fittings which required the removal of hundreds of energy consuming 400watt lamps. In addition to this, 100watt cluster lamps linked to photocell and time clock controls were installed which maximised the energy efficiency and led to 75% reduction in energy in this area alone.

The installation of smart meters followed by staff training enables William Dyer Electrical and their client to continually monitor energy consumption and detect when sudden changes in energy usage occur making it easy for these changes to be acted upon quickly thus preventing unnecessary energy wastage.

In large manufacturing plants, machinery is one of the largest consumers of energy but measures can be taken to significantly reduce the output. In this particular case, soft start equipment was installed to prevent wastage on all high current equipment.

Through staff involvement and commitment from a savvy energy management team, this organisation made financial savings of approximately £200,000 and were able to see significant reductions in energy consumption and meet their green objectives.

By implementing these energy saving measures, electricity savings amounted to 14% in year 1 and 8% in year 2 (156340 and 75430kWh).

Capitalising on this Energy Efficiency Expertise William Dyer Electrical (UK) Limited has been trading for over 20 years and has continually sought to progress and develop the business in line with new technologies and best practice. They have grown the business and subsequently become one of the UK’s leading Electrical Energy Efficiency Contractors.

All of their recommendations are made with environmental impact at the forefront. Having progressed the business with green initiatives in mind, their service offering now includes Solar PV installations. This means that as well as saving energy through electrical energy efficient installations, their clients also have the opportunity to produce energy of their own.
