With the cost of energy rising every day, reducing wastage in your facility  is essential if you want to save money. Not only is it possible to cut electricity consumption, but savings can also be made. Reducing energy use in your facility saves you money, increases your energy security, and reduces the pollution that is emitted from non-renewable sources of energy. There are a few changes you can make that could help cut down your average electricity usage. This can include using more efficient gadgets and appliances, energy-saving lightbulbs as well as replacing old appliances, and avoiding wasted power by switching unused devices off at the plug.

Check out these ways by which we can help you save energy cost for your facility;

1) Historical Usage Data Analysis

Compiling and analyzing your facility’s energy usage patterns is essential to understanding how the business consumes energy. Knowing how and where energy is consumed can lead to reduced costs and lower consumption.

2) Energy Procurement Solutions

Stratagem’s Energy Procurement will help clients make strategic energy purchases to minimize energy costs. Our energy procurement specialists stay ahead of the changing energy market and all associated regulations and program. This affords us the ability to offer our clients the best strategic advice and identify the best opportunities for buying electric and natural gas supply services, enabling clients to take better control of energy costs.

3) Power Factor Correction Solutions

One of the hidden costs unknown to most utility customers is “power factor” fees. If you are a large manufacturing organization or operate 24/7 data centers running servers, AC units, etc., there is increased potential for having a poor power factor. Since motors create wasted power while idling, the more motors and production equipment operating the higher your exposure is to posting a deficient power factor. This wasted energy – or reactive power – costs utilities money since the energy is not consumed on a regular basis. For example, if a utility has a tariff that requires customers maintain a 95% power factor or greater, those customers that don’t meet this requirement can see additional charges on their monthly bills. Identifying your utilities’ specific power factor requirements, determining what your power factor is, and working with an informed consultant to evaluate custom solutions can lead to significant savings.

4)  Efficient Lighting Solutions

By working with our lighting distributors, commercial and industrial businesses can purchase and install more efficient and affordable lighting solutions to save on energy. With new and improved LED technologies the solutions are broader than ever. Whether Retrofitting (Replacing existing fixtures, lamps/bulbs and ballast with new equipment) or simply ordering more efficient replacement product for your existing fixtures, commercial industrial customers can achieve sizable savings through efficient lighting solutions.

5) Energy Efficiency Awareness Programs

Our comprehensive awareness program supports and reinforces your organization’s overall energy efficiency objectives. By engaging your employees and changing workplace behaviours, you can improve your organization’s energy efficiency and lower costs. You can reinvest these savings into areas such as research and development (R&D), training or building improvements. Simply put, investing in your employees pays off. Creating an energy savings culture in your workplace will identify conservation opportunities and goals that sustain energy efficiency over the long term

6) Renewable Energy

Meeting sustainability initiatives is becoming a growing trend for businesses. Installing solar panels can help your commercial building be less reliant on utility companies. All our panels and control systems installed are one industry leading products that come with full manufacturer guarantees.  Commercial and Industrial customers can also spend way less on power consumption if they implement an efficient hybrid system which comprises renewable energy, Generators and Grid.

7) Energy Auditing

Our Energy audit provides a clear understanding of energy consumption in buildings and facilities. The quantitative findings can provide substantial practical guidelines for:

• Continuous improvement in production efficiency
• Identifying cost saving opportunities in energy efficiency

Starting with the development of an energy consumption inventory detailed auditing activities will be conducted to identify buildings and facilities with particular focus on rationalizing their energy profiles. Field measurements will be also taken to quantify critical operating parameters. Following the establishment of an energy consumption profile, the potential energy saving opportunities can be identified. Energy management strategy and particular energy reduction programs can be organized and planned with reference to energy audit results.

Our energy audit services can further provide a range of additional benefits. The findings of an energy audit can be a good reference for your management in supporting commercial decisions.

A diverse range of industries have already experienced improved energy and production efficiency following our energy audit services.
