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.
