Energy efficiency refers to the reduction of energy consumption per unit service or product quantity without causing a decrease in the standard of living and service quality in buildings, and production quality and quantity in industrial enterprises. It covers efficiency-increasing measures such as preventing energy losses in gas, steam, heat, air and electricity, ensuring the recycling of various wastes, reducing energy demand without reducing production, using energy sources more efficiently and ensuring the recovery of energies.
As it is known, fossil fuels such as oil and coal, which are the most important energy sources, are quickly depleted in our world. Besides, greenhouse gas emissions that occur in energy production and consumption processes are among the most important causes of global warming and climate change. These two factors make energy efficiency important for the environment.
Energy Saving? Energy Efficiency?
Today, energy efficiency in industrial and commercial buildings is very important in terms of international competitiveness.
To ensure energy efficiency, we need an energy monitoring system by which we can measure our consumption in accordance with the ISO50001 Energy Management System and the Energy Efficiency Law No 5627 of the Ministry of Energy. To take various measures by assessing the feedback received from this system, we firstly need to identify the energy consumption points in the enterprise.
Creating an energy map of the enterprise and integrating devices that have communication capabilities that can monitor the consumption of energy, water, steam, natural gas and other resources in line with the need at the intensive consumption points, and integrating these devices with the system can allow for preventive maintenance activities to be planned and reduce production loss by regularly monitoring the devices in the enterprise. Operating this process enables us to calculate the unit costs spent for production and service, to make a more competitive price analysis and to keep the energy quality of all consumption points under control, allowing the consuming devices to operate more efficiently.
Thanks to the alarms identified in the system, early intervention possibilities can be created for any power loss or breakdown incidents. It may allow for more predictable cost analysis for new investments.
As a result, you can have an enterprise that is more sensitive to the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and through recycling and sustainability, and that will enable enterprises to make more production and services with less energy.
Buildings of the Future Will Not Only Be Smart, But Also Artificially Intelligent
