  1. Energy ManagementCost Reduction Workshops2012

  2. Presentation Introduction • ……. • Key principles required • Case Studies • Key Performance Indicators...KPI’s • Certification Opportunities

  3. Key Principles • Understand your bills • Understand your equipment • Monitor your consumption • Have a Plan • Train your staff (and yourself if needed)

  4. Understanding Bills • Do you ? • Ltr, M³, kWh, kVa, MIC, MDLV, Tuos, Duos….. • Cost vs Consumption – what do you control? • Penalties, surcharges, excesses – do you have any? Why? • Oil, LPG, Mains/Natural Gas – ok - !Gas! • Electricity – very difficult – no explanations on websites – very poor service

  5. Understand Bills • All Energy • Average Unit Price –– Divide total bill (net of VAT) by total units (Day+Night) = AUP – then compare with similar size business • Actual or Estimated – make sure you notify monthly • Can you access on-line meter readings – examine consumption – especially when closed • Get supplier to explain your bill to you – in detail and the elements you can manage

  6. Understand your Equipment • Who controls your equipment? • You, your staff or “Its always been that way” • Create a list of all energy using equipment • Decide when they will be on/off • Train your staff • Enforce it • Give feedback

  7. Understand your Equipment

  8. Understand your Lighting • Who controls your lighting? • You, your staff or “Its always been that way” • Create a list of all the bulbs in use – front/back • Decide when they will be on/off • Train your staff • Enforce it • Give feedback

  9. Understand your Lighting

  10. Monitor Consumption • You cannot Manage if you don’t Measure • What do you currently measure ? • Energy ? Waste ? Water ? • Minimum Monthly, better weekly – better on-line • What about sub-metering – 20%

  11. Monitor Consumption Waste - What happened in December • Water • What happened here? • possibly a leak

  12. Monitor Consumption

  13. Monitor Consumption

  14. Have a Plan • Don’t leave it to chance • One off campaigns lose their effectiveness • If it’s not written down, it won’t happen • Keep it simple – keep it short – make sure its attainable • Resource it – time is the key resource • Focus on no/low cost • EMS Principles – SEAI EnergyMap

  15. Train your Staff • How can they deliver if you don’t show/tell them? • Include Energy, waste, water into regular training sessions • Provide information/feedback to show how they effect performance/costs • Link work with home

  16. Case Studies - Energy • Lighting • Machine Replacement • Bain-Marie • Rotary Toaster

  17. Inefficient lighting • A heater and a light • 80-90% of energy going to waste! • Low Cost

  18. Inefficient lighting • Excess – double the amount required – No cost – take away 50% • T8’s • 24/7 • T5 or LED and 50% • Motion Sensors

  19. Efficient Lighting • Maritime Hotel – Bantry • Replaced 240 halogen ( 30 watt) spots on corridor with 3 watt LEDs • Reduced energy consumption by 90% • LED cost= €25 ( Pay back = 9 months) • Savings • Energy Cost saving =€7,128 / annum • Reduced maintenance costs (1/5 salary)

  20. Machine replacement Savings Annual savings (Year 1 to 5 ) = €33,500 Annual savings (Year 5+) = €53,000 ++ Think about your equipment….how old, how efficient • Woodlands Hotel – Adare • Replaced old dishwasher • New dishwasher- Lease cost €19,500/ annum over 5 years

  21. Equipment left on – all the time • Kitchen - Cork • Operating 2 Bain Marie’s ( 9KWhr) for 16 hrs each day • Reviewed need for this practise • Trained staff to turn off and use for 8 hrs/ day • Savings - €2, 000 / annum

  22. Cheap Equipment • What does cheap equipment do? • Reduces capital/leasing requirements • Short term solution • Increases whole of life costs • Reduced life • Inefficient • Stupid – but sometimes necessary – then manage it!

  23. Poorly sized equipment • Cafe Restaurant • Operating a Rotary Toaster ( 2.3KWhr) for 14hrs each day • Supplemented toaster with ‘ Pop Up Toaster’ • Savings - €1, 400 / annum

  24. Case Studies - Lessons • Many savings result from changes in practices, procedures, habit • Break the bad habits • Challenge your existing practices • Target the quick, no cost savings • Use some of the savings to pay for actions that need some money -

  25. Key Performance IndicatorsKPI’s • Allows you to measure your performance over time • ?? – heating consumption Feb 2012 vs Feb 2011 • kWh/M³, kWh/unit of production, kWh/employye hour etc….does your industry have them? • Could be compared against similar businesses

  26. KPI’s – Examples

  27. Building Benchmarking - Carbon Trust UK

  28. Forecasts • SEAI Forecast model 2009

  29. Summary • Energy is the biggest utility cost generally – 80% • Measure, Manage, Plan, Review • Set Targets, adopt KPI’s • Be Aware

  30. Reducing Costs – Energy • Thank you • Any Questions ?
