Objective achieved:

From the first month, there has been a 24% electrical energy consumption saving

Results:

From the first month following installation, the electrical energy consumption savings amounted to 24%. Other savings were also noticed both in terms of use and maintenance, thus facilitating rational energy use in the installations, including remotely via the WEB platform. To achieve these results, a technical study was first of all performed so that the improvements could then be introduced and the entire supervision system installed. In August, following the installation, 28% was saved on the electricity bill, and even greater improvements were achieved thanks to the use of consumption and programming calendars.

Initial situation

The Garaje Eloy Citröen Dealers grew gradually and reached 6,220 m2 for its activities, consuming 260,000 kWh per year at an annual cost of €55,000.

Solution

Energy measurement and control units were installed (EDS and EDS 3G, CIRCUTOR CVM analyzers), for lighting and air conditioning, and inefficient energy (reactive energy) was compensated with an OPTIM 1 capacitor bank. The entire system is controlled via the WEB, both for managing parameters and viewing alarms. As a result of these measures, savings of €13,200 were achieved in the first year.
