With traditional (but very important) savings opportunities, the savings solutions need to be implemented in large volumes and in a significant number using standard methods, such as:
- Thermal insulation and the replacement of heating, cooling and household equipment by devices that operate economically.
- Replacement of doors and windows.
- In the case of an industrial environment, the recovery of heat lost.
Implementing new savings opportunities.
- This is based on identifying the energy points and then connecting the energy points – that is, creating an energy based and information based automated system.
- Examples of energy points are: gas boiler, chiller, air conditioner, heat pump, building, facility, compressor, paint booth etc.
- This method provides to a significant extent a solution to the energy reduction goals of industrial companies.
An essential overview of the energy connection methods, which are already known:
- Heat transfer via liquid – the central part of which is the heat pump system.
- Connection of frequency converter drives.
- Installation of electricity storage modules (ESM); central to this is battery power storage
- This method can be used to connect, for example, a solar power generation system and a vehicle charging device.
- The connection of gas and electricity will be soon included.
Linked to the new approach is the on-site storage of heat. We produce when energy is available and then store the amount produced. Heat storage, for example, in concrete floors and thermoactivated slabs is worthwhile to use. The most comfortable feeling and the lowest energy consumption is provided by the tempered mass (near constant temperature).
