Energy Audit Service
Kelcroft's energy audit service lowers your
operating costs giving your business a hidden competitive edge without
sacrificing occupational comfort. Energy Audits are undertaken range
from the smallest energy assessments to major projects.
Surveys indicate that seventy five percent (75%) of buildings are
operating incorrectly, have inappropriate operating and maintenance
contracts or are waste money through inefficient energy usage. And too
often the energy management systems, specified to reduce operating
costs, do not function as intended adding to further wasted energy.
Energy costs are rising every
year, tariff increases threatened, and oil prices are soaring, all
effecting your bottom line - Kelcroft helps reduce your energy bills.
Energy Audit Service
Our energy audits begin with the collection and analysis of
all information
that may affect your buildings energy consumption. Analyzing the
performance of your existing systems and installation, existing
management techniques and utility bills.
We compare your facilities energy performance with published standards
for your premises and activities of a similar nature and provide
proposals.
Reporting
An energy audit service report summarizing our findings is provided, the report sub-divided into three energy management sections, namely:
Within these three sectors, we explain energy saving options and
opportunities for your managers to review and implement.
Housekeeping
Housekeeping measures are improvements involving virtually no
cost, and involve
relatively simple steps to start achieving energy savings. For example
training courses to
increase energy consumption awareness amongst your staff, as part of a
staff induction.
Operation measures
These improvements necessitate some change within your
existing regime or
maintenance strategy.
For example lighting modifications, improved the switching arrangement
or implementing a new lamp replacement strategy to benefit from the
efficacy of the latest technology.
In the majority of cases, the working environment for your
customers and employees is improved.
Capital works
Capital works would be major improvements to your premises
that will require significant expenditure.
Examining your installation, analyzing your operating and maintenance
costs, and evaluating possible options for energy conservation. Viable
proposals that will benefit you financially are offered for appraisal.
For example,
switching
to water cooled air conditioning (cooling towers) under the pilot
programme.
The energy analysis would comprise a practical and economic evaluation
of energy saving options. This evaluation would include an
investigation of all the various elements that contribute to your
owning and operating costs.
Typically these would comprise:
- Initial expenditure - capital required to purchase the plant or equipment
- Cost in use - the calculated running costs for the installation based on the data retrieved during the survey
- Investment analysis - payback and net present value calculations, which are tools to establish if a proposal would recoup your investment during a specific period).
Payback "hurdles" vary by company and sector. For example, a commercial
or industrial customer generally seeks a two- to five-year payback,
while an energy service company or public utility may accept a 5- to
10-year payback horizon.
An economic analysis examines alternatives, gauging the overall
viability of a particular energy-saving strategy.
