Energy Management Review
Objectives
Savills identified the following objectives for energy management: -
• |
To continue to implement energy management in the building. |
• |
To study and analyse savings achieved for electricity consumption on an annual basis. |
• |
To reduce operating and maintenance costs while enhancing the efficiency and reliability of equipment, plant and machinery. |
• |
To study the feasibility of converting the air-conditioning plant from air cooled to water cooled, |
Method Statement
In the first instance, Savills analysed the relevant energy consumption data from 1989 to 2003 to identify the relationship between power consumption for different sub-systems such as the air-conditioning and electrical installations in different various zones in the building. The pros and cons of using Maximum Demand and Commercial Tariffs were also explored in 2002.
The next stage of the energy management review was to study the electricity consumption data before and after retrofitting works and following the implementation of some energy saving measures in 2003.
Finally, Savills have maintained a policy to continually review energy consumption and operational procedures annually in conjunction with exploring all new methods of energy saving.
