Seeing the Energy Saving Light
Enigin Products A Must!
Keeping myself abreast of the latest news regarding progress in environmentally-friendly initiatives/behaviour, I was pleased to hear that the UK Portsmouth City Council’s civic offices became equipped with energy saving lighting sensors earlier this year.
It could be a ricochet effect following last week’s EU legislation implementation which requires energy saving measures to be applied to all buildings constructed after 2020. In any case, it’s definitely a commendable initiative!
These sensors are able to reduce carbon emissions by up to 324 tonnes/year and will save the council over £33,000 on energy bills!
This was decided upon because the council had set themselves a target to reach – they wanted to cut their CO2 emissions by 30% over the next 5 years.
Apparently, they also plan to install automatic metering tools in a number of their buildings, to save about 5% of their energy consumption/year.
I researched about meters and found a company, Enigin, that offers one. They call it the ‘Eniscope‘ and it’s used to measure how much energy a business is consuming (with lighting or aircon for instance), and identify where improvements can be made (where energy is being wasted by inefficient appliances).
With that information, Enigin are able to evaluate how to reduce a company’s energy costs and consumption and upgrade their equipment with energy efficient products to eliminate wastage and reduce carbon emissions.
Saving energy and money is compatible if more businesses use energy efficient alternatives, via companies like Enigin for example. It provides a valuable contribution towards the conservation of the planet, and clearly, it also saves people a lot of money. No one can really afford to disregard the environment, everyone has a part to play and there are products that exist out there to help us be proactive.
