We can opt to live with the inefficiency or take bold steps to counter it. There are two ways to go and you have to decide which path you want to take! The red arrow means you are willing to to operate inefficiently whereas the green means you will be taking the path to become more efficient. Becoming more efficient will mean higher expenditure - the further the green arrow goes the possible increase in investment but the higher investment cost will be returned by faster paybacks. Its a trade-off that financial controllers, managers and owners have to decide
Energy Efficiency is
quantifiable, it can be experienced
by
lower energy bills, it can be enjoyed by
better staff productivity and it can improve
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Did
you know that:
- Telekom Malaysia saves USD 316,000 savings per annum in mission critical exchange buildings!
- Vsource reduced fan energy from 25 kW to mere 3.3 kW for ventilation of its condenser room thus avoiding expensive upgrades of its cooling units!
- Westport saves USD 20,000 per annum just by retroffiting its pumps for USD 40,000 in 2003/2004!
No devices was used to achieve the savings, but rather engineering ingenuity and thought provoking design ideas that jumped out for the “in the box” thinking! How did that happen in industries that seem to have good standard design?
The answer : Simple as it may sound, Energy Efficiency was viewed as a business opportunity rather than just another project. A business opportunity to create PROFITS while reducing energy wastage.
YOU can begin to create PROFITS instead of paying for energy wastage and also enjoy the non-energy benefits!
Unlike any other projects Energy Efficiency is a profitable venture if its done right in the first time!
