This presentation discusses how desktop analyses of energy reduction programs may overestimate savings and return on investment. It uses a case study of an energy management project with Jardine Motors Group to illustrate this. Monitoring of the site found actual energy usage and potential savings were lower than projected. As a result, the realized return on investment and payback period were longer than the desktop analysis suggested. The presentation emphasizes the importance of considering operational realities and not just energy data in projecting savings.
3. In this
presentation, we
look at the
operational
impact a business
has with energy
reduction and
provide example
of why the
desktop ROI
analysis alone
may not provide
the answers you
are looking for.

MAPIT, our in-house specialists can show
you when and where you are using your
energy.

6. STEP //1
Following discussion of
your needs and business
objectives, the first stage
of the process is to install
monitoring equipment to
discover your energy
loads, behaviour and
consumption.

The proposal stage is
where we take energy
services and technologies
and engineer a solution to
reduce your energy
waste.

STEP //2
Once we have enough
energy data across your
business, our team will
analyse and highlight the
areas where we can reduce
your energy.

The final stage is ensuring
we continue to reduce as
much energy waste as we
can from your business.
Tracking and trending your
data helps identify
continued saving
opportunities.

The installation team will
then arrange a time to
minimise any disruption to

Following analysis of the energy usage, a
desktop analysis of suitable technology and
change programs were proposed to reduce
consumption on sites including ROI

23. The Success Story
LCSenergy
Following the success of the first site, the project has now been extend
UK wide leading to an additional investment of circa £0.5M+ of Energy
Management Technologies across the Jardine Motors Portfolio.
Current performance suggest we are on target savings = £160K + per
annum including the 0.75 multiplier from desktop analysis.
