Start with an Energy Audit

Energy Efficiency Leads to Competitive Advantages

An energy audit will give you the information you need to make smarter decisions about management, engineering, and the environment. These decisions increase your profits, save energy and carbon, improve your productivity, and reduce your maintenance problems.

You’ll understand what needs to be done to:

  • Control and reduce energy costs and carbon emissions,
  • Improve your business return on investment,
  • Eliminate or fix troubling plant and equipment,
  • Allocate energy costs to business centres,
  • Develop a roadmap of long-term carbon reduction options, and
  • Measure and report energy savings.
Emsol will assist your business to identify areas where energy efficiency can be improved to provide you with cost saving opportunities.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU:

Energy Management

Need a customised approach?

Emsol is experienced, with a long track record in delivering energy projects customised to meet the needs of central and local government, as well as private clients.

Projects range from evaluating biofuel, wind and solar energy technologies and sites, to verifying government funded energy saving projects, to feasibility studies on new energy technologies.
The common factor is Emsol’s ability to combine its energy industry and engineering knowledge to analyse, evaluate and report on unique requirements.
Emsol is an independent consulting firm and, therefore, if commercial sensitivity is of utmost importance, Emsol can help you.

Feasability Study

A feasibility study helps you gain a detailed understanding of the return on investment of an energy or carbon saving project so you can make an informed decision. EMSOL can assess a range of projects. We assess long term and large investments analysing all costs and benefits. We develop your ideas for future business plans and present the findings, outlining key recommendations. You will be able to identify projects that are worth investing in and gain clarity for business decisions.As we conduct the feasibility study, EMSOL considers a range of factors important to your organisation’s direction and long-term goals. These may be for growth, sustainability, low maintenance, or diversification.

Raise Staff Awareness

Emsol helps make it easy for your business to realise energy savings through staff awareness and training.
 
Most of your energy savings can be achieved, with the least cost to you, through staff training and awareness. Emsol will help you realise this potential and make it easy for you to do so.

These types of savings opportunities range from staff diligently switching off unused equipment, through to immediately reporting any leaks, or selecting appropriately sized equipment.

Staff behaviour can save up to 30% of energy use. This has been demonstrated in equipment and vehicle operating behaviour studies. Emsol’s experienced staff ensure you continue to realise this potential year in and year out.

Energy audits, assessments, full energy management cycles, monitoring and targeting, and staff training/awareness directly (and indirectly) lead to:

Improved Health and Safety

Energy audits, assessments, full energy management cycle, Monitoring & Targeting and Training/Awareness will directly (or indirectly) lead to an improved health and safety. An example is insulating a steam valve will save energy, cover hot surfaces and reduce hot working conditions. 

Increased Productivity

Energy audits, assessments, full energy management cycle, Monitoring & Targeting and Training/Awareness will directly (or indirectly) lead to increased productivity. Two examples are, reducing heating set points when it’s too hot or ensuring light is directed only where it is needed, will save energy and improve the comfort of staff working conditions.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Energy audits, assessments, full energy management cycle, Monitoring & Targeting and Training/Awareness will directly (or indirectly) lead to reduced maintenance costs. Two examples are, removing the number of lights in over lit areas or insulating hot surfaces radiating onto air lines or painted walls, will save energy and reduce maintenance costs.

Design Review

The design phase is the most cost-effective time to ensure your organisation is using energy efficient technologies and processes. When you complete a design review of your plans, and replace selected technologies with energy efficient alternatives, you will save thousands of dollars over the lifecycle of the project. Often, energy costs far exceed construction costs over the lifecycle of the design.EMSOL helps you during the design phase by using forecast energy and carbon prices to determine which improvement options will benefit your business. These are presented using a cost benefit analysis of your choice; Net Present Value, Return on Investment, Internal Rate of Return, Levelized cost of energy, Payback Period, or Least Cost Method.

Energy monitoring

Energy monitoring leads to energy efficiency. Implementing an Emsol energy monitoring programme allows your business to focus on energy efficiency – you can’t manage what you haven’t measured.

Energy monitoring and targeting provides managers with important feedback on operating practices, the results of energy management projects and guidance on the level of energy use. Reduction of electricity usage during peak demand periods can also dramatically reduce your organisation’s electricity costs.

Emsol monitoring and targeting initiatives include:

• measuring your energy use and costs
• analysing your energy use data
• comparing your energy use with your productivity
• setting cost reduction targets
• setting energy efficiency targets
• tailoring an energy performance report that suits your business needs – energy use; cost relevance to production and building area; energy price comparisons; energy costs ($); electricity network prices and electricity ‘energy’ prices.

As part of this, Emsol looks at:

• essential benchmarks to ‘manage what you use’
• cost patterns
• where the inconsistencies are
• savings opportunities
• opportunities for continuous improvement.

Savings Verification

Emsol’s approach produces accurate measurement of your energy savings to quantify results and your return on investment.
 
 
 

MEASURING YOUR ENERGY SAVINGS

Reporting energy savings is essential to maintain an effective energy management programme. But how do you measure energy savings reliably? Monitoring and reporting energy use (or costs) alone will not usually show your energy savings. Normalising energy use with production can help, however, this will not necessarily show your energy savings.

 

Emsol uses International Performance Monitoring and Verification Protocol (IPMVP®). This approach follows best practise standards and guidelines for quantifying the results of energy efficiency investments and increasing investment in energy efficiency.

 

It is important to measure energy use against your business energy use baseline, and use an appropriate adjustment method in order to measure energy cost savings. Production and / or ambient temperature are often key influences and need adjusting for.

Two common methods of doing this include calculating an Energy Use Index (EUI) or producing a Base Line using regression analysis. When production or ambient temperature vary and are key drivers for energy use, then a regression analysis is an important step in measuring reliable and accurate energy savings.

Tariff Review

When it’s time for you to purchase electricity, natural gas, biofuel, or other forms of energy then EMSOL can help you procure a competitive contract. We’ll complete a tariff review to find the lowest-cost pricing structure that matches with your organisation’s pattern of energy use. This can also apply to electricity lines fees.

Project Engineering

Do you have a new construction or upgrades project? EMSOL can make it happen while providing engineering input. We ensure your project is completed with a design that is cost and energy efficient, and will meet all required standards. EMSOL will also manage and arrange contractors to supply and install your project. We recognise saving time is important to you.
