PAST PROJECTS
Company – INGALS EPS FACTORY
Project – Energy Audit undertaken on factory
Scope of works - Audit of Energy use and associated services across the Ingal EPS factory site
The key objectives of the energy audit are as follows:
• Establish current levels of energy use and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions;
• Identify cost-effective energy saving practices/projects;
• Identify cost-effective reductions in GHG emissions; and
• Review the cost benefit of installing Power Factor Correction equipment.
Outcome – The savings represent a 22% reduction in energy consumption and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 80 tonnes of (CO2-e) per annum.
Payback of approximately 2.9 years
