Energy Optimization Consulting
The keys to this are precision cooling and the strict separation of hot and cold air flows. Having employed this method for the majority of our customers it is our firm belief that this is a worthwhile investment which usually pays for itself in a relatively short space of time.
​
Building a new, or even upgrading an existing facility, is a significant commitment for stakeholders.
Companies often tend to look at the initial outlay, rather than focusing on the day-to-day operational and maintenance costs, which are far more significant in the long term. The answer to this is accurate and precise planning, at the earliest possible stage, well in advance of any expenditure or construction.
​
Energy usage can frequently account for more than half the operational costs of a facility, consequently a well-defined and logical strategy is crucial for an energy-efficient end result.
