This document discusses active energy efficiency, which is defined as effecting permanent change through measurement, monitoring and control of energy usage. It argues that meeting greenhouse gas emissions targets will require active rather than just passive energy efficiency measures. Various technical solutions for optimizing energy usage in buildings, industry and infrastructure are described, including lighting control, variable speed drives, power quality improvements, and remote energy consumption monitoring. Active energy efficiency is presented as a relatively low-cost way to significantly reduce energy usage and costs within a few years.
Energy-intensive industries – energy efficiency policies and evaluationsLeonardo ENERGY
The webinar will review results from academic evaluations of energy efficiency and climate mitigation policies that have targeted energy-intensive industry on EU and Member State level. The EU emissions trading system, by some portrayed as Europe´s flagship policy to tackle climate change, has had little effect in triggering innovative low-carbon solutions. Other policy approaches taken by Member States have centred on site-level energy management practices linked with national incentives and obligations that stimulates industrial energy efficiency as a strategy aiming at multiple objectives. Remarks are also made about policy design and the role of evaluation to foster policy improvements.

Access to energy is at the heart of the economic development of any country. This slide shows the fundamental differences between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. To cope with climate change and to guarantee the planet survival, the world needs to take urgent action. In this scenario, solar energy is leading the energy shift. Furthermore, with declining investments cost, producing solar electricity for the purpose of self-consumption is on the rise. A solar self- consumption installation uses the PV electricity generated on-site to meet the energy needs of the consumer while minimizing or excluding the use of electricity from the utility grid.

Capturing the Multiple Benefits of Energy EfficiencyLeonardo ENERGY
Nina Campbell will present the key findings of an important recent IEA publication entitled Capturing the Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency.
The traditional focus on energy savings as the main goal of energy efficiency policy has, at times, led to an underestimation of the full value of energy efficiency in both national and global economies. Energy efficiency can bring multiple benefits, such as enhancing the sustainability of the energy system, supporting strategic objectives for economic and social development, promoting environmental goals and increasing prosperity. The book contains a dedicated chapter on the benefits for macroeconomic growth, balancing public budgets, health and well-being, industrial competiveness and energy service delivery.
The aim of this book is two-fold: to build knowledge of the multiple benefits of energy efficiency, and to demonstrate how policy makers and other stakeholders can use existing tools to measure and maximise the benefits they seek. Five key benefits areas – macroeconomic development; public budgets; health and well-being; industrial productivity; and energy delivery – are investigated in-depth, showing compelling returns when the value of multiple benefits is calculated alongside traditional benefits of energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Considering multiple benefits also has important implications for unravelling one of the persistent challenges in energy efficiency – the rebound effect – revealing that it often signals a positive outcome in terms of achieving broader social and economic goals.

The buildings that aren’t “connected” are the same they were decades ago and have retained fundamentally the same purpose i.e. to provide shelter, temperature control, and safety at the same efficiency level. Globally the built environments account for significant energy use and equivalent production of carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon footprint. Growing concerns about safety, comfort, global warming, and climate change are leading to technological evolution, that will make the buildings smart, more comfortable, and nearly zero energy buildings. The building architectures are obviously smarter today than they were a few years ago and will continue to do so as the people become more energy aware and efficiency focused. Smart architectures and smart technologies are effective means to make buildings more comfortable, secure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. Smart metering, smart grid, energy storage, and smart energy management system are some of the technologies that find their use in smart architectures along with ubiquitous digital technologies. These evolving technologies being relatively new can indeed make the buildings smart, intelligent, energy efficient and environmentally sustainable which will attract higher rentals and more resale values in the near future. For commercial real estate, the savings can be impressive. A reduction in energy use is equivalent to an increase in building’s asset value and net operating income. This paper provides a contemporary look at the potential of smart architectures and evolving smart energy technologies to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint in built environments. The scope of this paper is limited to the brief overview of these technologies and their applications.

Promoting an EU Agenda for Electromagnetic Processing of MaterialsLeonardo ENERGY
Electromagnetic processing (EP) is an umbrella term for industrial process heating systems that use electricity instead of combustible energy carriers.
EP technologies use wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum to heat mediums instead of heating the air in a furnace by combusting fossil fuels.
Application is possible in manufacturing subsectors, including energy-intensive production of chemicals, paper, iron & steel as well as of glass, pottery & building material
EP technologies include:
Direct & indirect resistance heating
Infrared heating
Induction heating
Dielectric heating
Electric arc heating
Electron-beam heating
Combined, these 6 technologies provide a market potential to electrify about a third of fossil energy used in industry for process heating. In this short report developed by Ecofys, an agenda is proposed including 9 measures that could be used to promote EP technologies in the European Union.

According to a well-argued, climate change "has to be considered as the biggest
market failure the world has ever known before. There is scientific consensus that the world has a little
time to deal with increased emissions of greenhouse gases and climate change. The aim of this paper is
to promote the implementation of new Information Technology companies in order to get a grip on
consumption and energy efficiency in industrial sectors that make up the business. At the present time,
we thought it needed to boost the use of ICTs as a powerful tool for the preservation of the
environment and educate both employees and employers in using them to build a new business
network aware and directed toward sustainable economy. We believe that the ICT sector can play an
important role in reducing carbon emissions. Information technologies have the potential to reduce
overall carbon emissions by 15% by 2020, this 15% is between five and ten times the energy they
consume. We consider four main areas in which the application of ICT has enormous potential in
reducing harmful emissions and create a relief for the health of the planet: Motor systems, Logistics,
Buildings and Grids.

Global issue based power generation expansion planning for a power systemeSAT Journals
Abstract In This Project an global issue based power generation expansion planning model has been developed for optimization that considers the growth of fuel prices and its fluctuation, benefits of carbon-trading in generation expansion decision, power risks . The Developed model is applied to An Electric Power System for the future. In an electric power system, the electric demand has been running ahead of supply. In addition, of the growth of fuel price can affect the country economy. To minimize these problems, a multi-objective model preceded by electric demand forecasting is developed by considering the unit of power generation and investment cost, imported fuels and benefits of carbon trading, environmental impacts. A model has been developed in the MATLAB and is simulated to get the output of each power plant at a very nominal cost for building the power plants, production and fuel. Keywords: electrical power generation, expansion, planning, Load forecasting, Optimizing, linear model

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

3. White paper on Energy Efficiency - 3
Making permanent savings
through Active Energy Efficiency
Executive Summary
This white paper argues strongly that meeting greenhouse gas
emissions targets set within the Kyoto Protocol will fail unless Active
Energy Efficiency becomes compulsory.
Active Energy Efficiency is defined as effecting permanent
change through measurement, monitoring and control of energy
usage. Passive energy efficiency is regarded as the installation
of countermeasures against thermal losses, the use of low
consumption equipment and so forth.
It is vital, but insufficient, to make use of energy saving equipment
and devices such as low energy lighting. Without proper control,
these measures often merely militate against energy losses rather
than make a real reduction in energy consumed and in the way it is
used.
Everything that consumes power – from direct electricity
consumption through lighting, heating and most significantly electric
motors, but also in HVAC control, boiler control and so forth – must
be addressed actively if sustained gains are to be made. This
includes changing the culture and mindsets of groups of individuals,
resulting in behavioural shifts at work and at home, but clearly, this
need is reduced by greater use of technical controls.

Making permanent savings
through Active Energy Efficiency
Introduction
That energy efficiency is high on the agenda of most people is now
undoubted. However, understanding of what energy efficiency really
involves and how energy saving initiatives can be implemented
remains fragmented.
For this reason some companies, such as Schneider Electric,
have defined two approaches to energy efficiency: Passive Energy
Efficiency; and more significantly Active Energy Efficiency.
For many, energy measures revolve around the consideration
of thermal issues in the building fabric with remedies such as
insulation, glazing, and heat loss countermeasures. For others,
it is lighting, albeit often constrained to merely installing low
consumption systems. Those with significant heating requirements
may see efficient boiler systems as the answer.
All of the above are laudable and necessary, but they are really only
passive countermeasures that largely mitigate energy loss rather
than the energy deployed.
Active Energy Efficiency can be achieved when not only are
energy saving devices and equipment installed, but also that they
are controlled to use only the energy required. It is this aspect of
control that is critical to achieving the maximum efficiency. If an
illustration of what is meant is needed, consider an energy efficient
lamp that is left turned on in an empty room. All that is achieved is
that less energy is wasted than would have been using an ordinary
lamp!
It is the management of energy use through measurement,
monitoring and control that effects permanent change.
Moreover, compared with the costs (and technical skills
necessary to avoid risks) of installing thermal solutions,
energy control can be implemented at a relatively modest
price and a very rapid payback. This is especially true
when measured against escalating energy prices – most
energy control solutions can be amortised within a few
years.
A further very important factor that should drive Active
Energy Efficiency from this point forward is the need to
meet ambitious carbon reduction targets set by those
governments in alliance with the Kyoto Protocol. In the
built environment, for example, it is a fact that unless
existing buildings (as well as all new build) are made
energy efficient, it will simply be impossible to reach the
targets set for 2020.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a global target set at the
Kyoto Earth Summit in 1997 and finally ratified by 169 countries in
December 2006.
Under the Kyoto Protocol industrialised countries have agreed to
reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5.2%
by 2008-2012 compared to the year 1990 (however, compared to
the emissions levels expected by 2012 prior to the Protocol, this
limitation represents a 29% cut). The target in Europe is an 8%
reduction overall with a target for CO2 emissions to fall by 20% by
2020.
This white paper looks at the approaches to Active Energy
Efficiency that can be applied within new and existing buildings – in
commerce, industry, private, public and residential – as well as in
manufacturing, industry and the transport infrastructure

The current situation
Energy is consumed in a broad variety of ways across all sectors
of life, from the provision of vital resources such as water, oil and
gas, to the lighting and heating in homes and the power required
by industry and commerce. Much of that energy is consumed
usefully, but huge amounts are wasted every day. It is the waste or
inefficient use of energy that must be addressed.
This white paper explores every aspect of the use of electricity and
its impact on the environment. With greenhouse gas emissions
in sharp focus around the world, the time has come for everyone
to take action to economise on energy use by the intelligent
application of technology to bring about Active Energy Efficiency.
At a European level, the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive
has been introduced. This requires all buildings - including in the
residential sector - to have energy ratings, similar to those seen on
consumer white goods today, and to display these ratings in the
building’s public areas or, in the case of residential buildings, within
the documentation about the property. Some EU governments
have stated that they expect an average 25% reduction in energy
consumption from the introduction of this bill.
As far-reaching as the legislation is, perhaps the biggest impact
on businesses is the steep rises in the cost of energy. Between
February 2005 and February 2006 in some countries there was an
increase of around 74% on the cost of wholesale electricity and gas
– energy prices rose by up to 27% in the UK in January 2008 alone.
This poses a big problem for businesses as their profit margins are
squeezed and they are faced with the dilemma of whether to take
the cut on their bottom line, or to pass the cost increase through to
the prices of their products and services and therefore risk being
uncompetitive.

Making permanent savings

Economies are readily possible in electricity generation and
distribution, in its use and in the way electricity can be used wisely
to make efficiencies in the use of other energy.
The technology is available to maximise the effectiveness of
electricity – including its application in controlling other energy
usage – and the way in which it is distributed.
The technology is there to control buildings’ energy use in lighting,
HVAC, building controls and distribution. Lighting alone can account
for 40% of a typical commercial enterprise’s electricity consumption.
In offices, the explosion of information technology has also seen
huge increases in electrical consumption, as has the preference
for air conditioning systems. The prolific growth of datacentres and
new industries has also contributed to a dramatic rise in electrical
power usage.
In industry there are proven systems to reduce the power
consumed by electric motor systems and to better control the
application of electrical power throughout a plant. Two thirds of
electrical energy used by industry is used powering motors. In most
countries less than 10% of those motors have any kind of control
and therefore cannot be slowed down or switched off automatically.
Automation and the increasing use of electrical power, as well as
inefficient hydraulic and pneumatic systems, has also grown in
industrialised regions.
In the home, new products enable lighting and heating controls that
enhance living standards yet save electricity. In most countries,
every single domestic dwelling (including individual apartments)
contributes about 6.5 tonnes of CO2 each year - or, to put it another
way, enough gas to fill six hot air balloons! Yet, just switching off
lights in unoccupied rooms could save 2.2 tonnes per household.
Computers, multiple televisions sets, modern electrical appliances,
air conditioning and even outside lighting and powered equipment
have seen an exponential growth in consumption. Indeed, in many
western economies, domestic electricity consumption outstrips even
industrial use.
In short, there is no reason not to be able to actively save electricity
and other energy, provided there is the understanding of what is at
stake, together with the desire to do something about it.
World energy consumption is projected to rise by 30% by 2020
according to Enerdata’s latest predictions form May 2007. Electricity
consumed in 2005 was estimated at 18,140 TWh with 67% of that
capacity produced by coal, oil and gas power stations.
It is clear that electrical energy consumption will rise over the
coming decades if no action is taken to economise. This is
particularly true in third world and emerging economies where not
only is the use of new electrical equipment growing, but also much
of the populations of certain regions currently without electricity
supplies, will subsequently get them.
It would be hard for most people to imagine a life without electricity,
but that does not mean consumption cannot be controlled to deliver
Active Energy Efficiency. Indeed, without firm resolve to apply
Active Energy Efficiency measures, governments will be compelled
to act legislatively in order to stand any chance of meeting Kyoto
objectives and targets.

Taking Action on
energy
Everyone can take positive action to conserve energy or use it more
wisely. The technology is in place, is relatively inexpensive in most
cases to install and provides rapid payback.
On the premise that it is impossible to manage what cannot be
measured, for large energy users – i.e. those other than residential
– the Active Energy Efficiency process should start with an
assessment of how and where energy is used and how much of it is
consumed.
Fundamental questions that every organisation
must ask:
@ Is your organisation equipped for energy efficiency?
@ Changes in legislation and regulations are forcing building
occupiers to get ready for carbon management. Is your staff
trained?
@ Can your financial teams find their way through any grants and
incentives offered?
@ How would you evaluate your success?
@ Can you demonstrate this to your customers?
@ Can you account for 90% of your energy usage? In the UK,
for example, Building Regulations call for 90% of the estimated
annual energy usage to be measured and accounted for, including
electricity, gas, water, oil and steam.
@ Who uses your energy? Applying effective monitoring and
targeting measures to energy consumption increases the success
of energy efficiency. However, without the buy-in of the people who
are using energy in an organisation, savings will be unsustainable.
@ Do you monitor awareness levels and attitudes towards Active
Energy Efficiency in your company?
Further assessment needed:
@ Do you know your requirements? In order to determine where to
start, you need to know where you are now. However, taking advice
can be a risk, unless the advice is backed with experience and
knowledge. Begin with a study of your facilities built around your
objectives.
@ Do the recommendations show you your route to energy
efficiency?
@ Do you understand the next steps?
@ Who delivers on energy efficiency? You are in the driving seat,
and with the right investments come savings. A poor implementation
of an energy efficiency scheme could significantly reduce the
potential for savings.
@ Do you have the resource to manage the procurement and
installation of equipment and ensure you stay on track?

Expert audits of energy consumption, together with
recommendations, are a good starting point. There are also some
remarkably accurate, inexpensive and easily installed consumption
meters and controls now available that allow wasteful consumption
to be better identified and managed.
Schneider Electric is committed to reducing energy consumption for
its customers by offering a wide range of Active Energy Efficiency
products and services including advice, implementation strategies,
monitoring and control solutions and compliant products all backed
by an excellent service to help maintain the savings.
Energy studies
Specialist energy consultants can measure and analyse energy
consumption across a site or business and identify areas where
energy savings can be made.
Remote monitoring of energy
consumption
Energy managers or outside experts can remotely monitor energy
consumption via wired or wireless links to the electrical installations.
Based on data collected, these experts make recommendations
that can be applied in real time.
Variable speed drives
Because so much energy is consumed through electric motors
(66% of energy used by industry is consumed this way) variable
speed drives offer more efficient management of energy intensive
applications such as ventilation, pumping and compressed air
installations. These products can be integrated into new plant or
used to upgrade existing equipment.
11. White paper on Energy Efficiency - 11
Making permanent savings
through Active Energy Efficiency
Technical solutions
Technical solutions for optimising electrical installations can include
an extensive range of products, equipment, intelligent controllers
and control devices, but these are relatively inexpensive and can
reduce the energy consumption of a commercial or industrial facility
by typically 20%.
Lighting solutions
Lighting control solutions are available that enable optimisation of
lighting systems in terms of both function (comfort and safety) and
energy usage. Lighting makes up about half of energy consumed in
commercial buildings.
Power quality
Two areas frequently overlooked at those of harmonics and power
factor. These invisible characteristics of an electrical system
can influence consumption, costs and even life expectancy of
equipment. There is European legislation relating to harmonics
and electromagnetic interference, but even without such legislative
concerns, it is beholden on businesses to ensure they do not pollute
the electricity supply infrastructure with reflected harmonics – in the
UK these are measured all the way to the 50th harmonic!
Of even greater direct impact is power factor. Consumers with
poor power factor waste electricity and incur additional costs
– often without knowing it. Yet power factor correction equipment
is easy to specify and install. A further consideration however,
is that because at the heart of power factor correction equipment
lie capacitors, as these devices deteriorate towards their natural
half-life, upgrades may be required to maintain the highest
possible power factor. Maintenance can therefore also be a key to
maximising savings.
This white paper will now examine some specific sectors in which
Active Energy Efficiency measures can be applied.

Efficiency in the built
environment
Active Energy Efficiency in new
public and commercial buildings
It is difficult to understand these days why so many buildings are
ultimately energy inefficient. There is the possibility for Active
Energy Efficiency to be considered at so many points in the
design, development, construction and eventual occupancy of a
building. However, the differing vested interests of those involved
in a building’s design and ultimate use, far from motivating energy
management, can sometimes impede it.
For instance, architects may consider energy conservation in terms
of the materials and insulation regimes they adopt – that is, Passive
Energy Efficiency. It is rare for energy management controls to be
considered at the design stage, since this tends to remain within the
remit of the building services engineering.
Construction companies rarely, if ever, are concerned with
energy issues – their prime focus is in meeting budgets, cutting
construction costs and avoiding punitive penalty clauses. Only if
strictly instructed, do they readily embrace building systems or
energy management during the construction phase.
Building services engineers are the most likely to consider building
controls. However, even here there is a stronger imperative to
add perceived value in terms of comfort and access control, mood
lighting and sophisticated IT arrangements than in energy control.
Where commercial property is concerned, even the end users
sometimes care little for energy conservation or measurement.
Often resident on short term leases, the perception is that although
it is they, the occupiers, that foot the energy bill, they are powerless,
or too late, to do much about it.
In short, getting proper and effective Active Energy Efficiency
controls onto the agenda is made easier when it is integrated
with other compelling BMS offers. The same argument can bring
about savings in the installation phases by enabling shared use
of structured cabling, combined data and power cable pulls, and
orchestrated accessory fixes (power control, data outlets, HVAC
control, access control and lighting controls on common networks).
13. White paper on Energy Efficiency - 13

Legislative drivers
Many consider the imposition of the Climate Change Levy to have
had far less effect on energy conservation than anticipated. While
there has been an increase in the specification of the likes of
energy efficient motor controls in heating and ventilation systems,
for example, there is little evidence of wide scale retrofitting. But,
the need to embrace energy management is becoming impelled by
new legislative measures.
In the UK, back in July 2004 Lord Rooker, Minister of State in the
Office of the Deputy Prime Minister said in a written Ministerial
Statement: “Energy used in buildings is responsible for roughly half
the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions. Driving up energy efficiency
of our buildings is critical to our success in achieving the carbon
dioxide emission reduction targets.”
It is fair to state that for most, it is less the quest to save the planet
than to reduce costs that focuses attention. Utility price is the most
obvious and volatile driver for energy efficiency but, increasingly
environmental legislation and the business benefit of company
reputation, of ‘being a good corporate citizen’, has real value.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive will also force many
organisations to regularly evaluate and publicly display their energy
performance, giving further visibility, impetus and business value to
their energy credentials.
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.

Active Energy Efficiency in existing
public and commercial buildings
Focus is beginning to shift to how much energy a building
consumes in the operational phase. Inefficient management of
buildings during this phase can needlessly waste valuable energy.
Intelligent energy metering provides a vital insight into the building’s
consumption and can help identify areas where potential savings
can be made. In addition, evidence shows that operating costs
typically amount to three times the capital cost of the building; and
maintenance costs can be twice the building costs. Investing in
systems that help reduce energy consumption naturally also reduce
operational costs.
Traditionally, maintenance roles have always been reactive, but
with intelligent building control systems in place, maintenance
becomes intuitive and can be planned and scheduled. The
advantage of this is that maintenance can be planned and
budgeted, rather than considered only when the need arises. Such
practice often results in maintenance works being delayed or even
ignored. In addition, it is now possible for a single system to monitor
gas, electricity, water, air and steam.
Apart from simplifying the roles of maintenance staff, intelligent
energy management is inexpensive. In fact, a recent study by the
UK’s Energy Savings Trust revealed that installing the technology
to meter and monitor energy consumption could have an average
payback period of less than six months. 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.
Retrofit need not inconvenience
Many consider the imposition of the Climate Change Levy to have
had far less effect on energy conservation than anticipated. While
there has been an increase in the specification of the likes of
energy efficient motor controls in heating and ventilation systems,
for example, there is little evidence of wide scale retrofitting. But,

Many people worry that the installation of such technology during
retrofit is expensive and will cause too much disruption to the
building’s occupants. In reality, the equipment and systems can be
fitted cost effectively and without causing problems, in both new
and retrofit installations. In both situations, an existing Ethernet
network can be used and usually there is sufficient in-house IT
knowledge to maintain it. Wireless and Ethernet technologies
enable “plug-and-play” and convergence to allow centralised
control. Indeed, all of Schneider Electric’s own buildings in the UK
have had this technology successfully installed during retrofit.
In retrofit installations, there is the additional benefit that it is
easy to benchmark energy savings. When a building has been
operational for a period of time without this technology, the effects
and advantages of intelligent energy management are immediately
obvious.

In the US, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 - section 103 - requires
“all Federal Agencies to install advanced metering in all federal
facilities wherever found practical by end of 2012”. In the UK, the
recent revision of UK Building Bulletin 87 (BB87) – Guidelines for
Environmental Design in Schools, requires that all UK schools now
comply with the Building Regulation Part L2 – Conservation of Fuel
and Power. In addition the British Government has launched the
Building Schools for the Future initiative that aims to see the entire
secondary school building stock upgraded and refurbished with
in15 years.
The human angle
There is also a human side to the Active Energy Efficiency
arguments. The greatest assets in the majority of buildings are
the occupants. Comfort and safety are not negotiable. Typically a
building may have a change of use many times in its lifespan. The
ease with which these changes can be made is a further significant
cost consideration and can impact on the energy management
issue.
The bottom line is that for minimal investment, intelligent control
and Active Energy Efficiency can be delivered without penalty. The
net result is an attractive building that benefits the occupiers in
terms of comfort, convenience, function and costs, but also offers
long term savings in energy bills.

Active Energy Efficiency in residential
buildings
Residential buildings are rarely, if ever, appropriate for precise
metering and measurement. However, there are still steps that can
be taken towards adopting Active Energy Efficiency practices.
Again, in the residential sector emphasis has been on installing
Passive Energy Efficiency measures. Cavity wall insulation, loft
space insulation, double-glazing and draught exclusion are all
common in both new and existing properties.
Moves, such as the intention to see the discarding of tungsten
filament lamps in favour of low energy luminaires in retail stores, will
further bolster essential Passive Energy Efficiency initiatives.

It is reasonable to suggest that the biggest influence on domestic
residential energy consumption will come from changing the
public’s habits, but that is a very long process. The instinct to turn
off equipment that is on stand-by (the LEDs in equipment such as
TVs, DVD players, hi-fi, home PCs etc., consume huge amounts of
electricity collectively) will take time to instil. In the meantime, there
are technological aids that can effect big savings. One possibility is
to install inexpensive lighting controls. These range from the most
sophisticated home automation to simple room occupancy sensors.
Families with teenage children know that it’s not uncommon to have
almost every light in the home switched on even when just a single
room is occupied!
In multiple occupancy dwellings such as apartment buildings, there
is scope for Active Energy Efficiency to be applied in communal
areas with occupancy controls for lighting, heating and ventilation.
With a growth in mixed occupancy building where apartments, for
example, are constructed above commercial premises, the benefits
of metering can also be applied. Again judicious lighting and
heating controls also contribute.

Active Energy Efficiency in Industry
Energy consumption in industry varies enormously according to
what the business makes or does. Clearly, there are many highly
energy intensive industries such as glass works, smelters and
anyone using heating processes. However, on the assumption that
the energy used in manufacturing processes is essential usage,
there remain many areas where substantial and significant savings
can be made – whatever the industry.
For the purposes of this white paper we have separated process
related applications from the building or plant’s infrastructure.
20. 20 - White paper on Energy Efficiency
Making permanent savings
through Active Energy Efficiency
The building and its plant’s
infrastructure
The infrastructure considerations of an industrial plant are in many
ways similar to those of any building. Unnecessary lighting, heating
and ventilation must be avoided, but so too must additional facilities
such as air or fume extraction (provided it is safe to do so). The
provision of compressed air is often continuous even when there
is no demand. Conveyors are frequently left running when there
are no goods or products on them. Oils and coolants are circulated
irrespective of need and so on. There are countless areas of
potential waste that go undetected and unaddressed. Just as in
other commercial buildings, intelligent metering can help pinpoint
many of these areas.
A further factor that can have a significant effect in industry is poor
power factor. Power factor relates to the electricity used in simply
energising the internal coils of a piece of equipment. Commonly
many types of equipment in manufacturing plants can adversely
affect the power factor – including computers, variable speed drives
(VSDs) and even fluorescent lighting ballasts. Yet, the charges
for this “useless” or wasted energy can be hard to identify. The
remedy is very simple and power factor correction equipment
(pictured opposite) that uses capacitors to store power is readily
available.
The processes and their technical
requirements
Two thirds of all the electricity consumed by industry goes into
powering electric motors. This statement is true for just about
every industrialised nation in the world. It is also true that in most
countries no more than 10% of these motors are controlled.
In processes, understanding where energy can be saved can
be more technical. Many fluid power applications (hydraulics,
pneumatics and other air movement) can present opportunities for
savings.
For example, many processes still use mechanical vanes and
vents to route air to atmosphere when it is not required. An easily
installed VSD can be used to control turning the fan on or off.
Moreover, such fan arrangements frequently use configurations
(such as centrifugal fans) that can be slowed down without
significant loss of performance. Consider that a 22kW fan that is
reduced in speed from 50Hz to 47Hz could save double its price
and installation costs in the first year!
Because the nature of Active Energy Efficiency in process
applications is essentially a technical one, there are inherent
problems with the implementation. What is fundamentally needed
within industry is for the responsibility for energy consumption
to be passed from the building management function to the
plant management one. Most production facility managers are
preoccupied with producing greater volumes at lower prices, rather
than addressing “overhead” costs such as energy.

installed and now simple to operate – saving substantial
