How to reduce electricity bills in your company?

Rising energy costs are a concern for every business owner. With rising electricity costs and pressure to increase energy efficiency, plant modernization is becoming a key element of the operational cost management strategy. One of the most affordable solutions is replacing lighting systems, which also brings quick savings and can increase employee productivity by up to 3%.

Lighting audit in industrial facilities

Increasing energy efficiency requirements and the need to comply with legal regulations mean that lighting audits in industrial facilities have become an important element of energy management strategies. In this article, we will look at the technical and specialist aspects of this process, such as legal regulations, audit scope, measurement methods, benefits and implementation of recommendations.

Energy efficiency – what is it and can it be achieved?

Rising energy prices and growing requirements for sustainable development are making energy efficiency a key element of the strategy of large industrial companies. It is not only about reducing energy costs, but also about ensuring optimal performance of the machinery park. We will analyze what energy efficiency is and how comprehensive implementation of energy-saving investments can support its achievement.

Is thermal modernization enough to reduce energy consumption in an industrial plant?

While thermal modernization is often promoted as a key tool for reducing energy consumption, is it enough to provide a company with a competitive advantage in the face of new regulatory and market challenges?

Calculating your carbon footprint

Growing environmental awareness and increasingly stringent legal regulations have made calculating and reducing carbon footprints a key element of business strategies for industrial companies. For technical specialists, understanding the process of calculating carbon footprints can be crucial to effectively managing this challenge.

White certificate – what is it and how does it work?

Not every company knows that by implementing actions improving energy efficiency, it can obtain additional funds. In addition to subsidies for various technological solutions, there are also separate financial instruments awarded based on the amount of energy saved – these are white certificates. Such certificates are intended to encourage entrepreneurs to implement energy-saving projects. White Certificates or energy efficiency certificates – what are they and why is it worth applying for them?

Is an energy audit mandatory for a company?

A company's energy audit is a special set of analyses that allows you to identify areas where it is possible to reduce energy consumption in an industrial plant. For some companies, it is a mandatory audit that should be carried out once every four years. This audit includes a series of calculations and the development of the most interesting and cost-effective actions to improve energy efficiency that can be implemented in a given company. This is the basic step and the most important pillar of a zero-emission strategy.
