Energy Management
SES believe that by better managing a business’s fixed overheads such as energy costs, huge savings can be achieved. One of the best ways of establishing the premises current setup is by conducting a thorough energy audit of the building.
This involves documenting the power consumption of lighting and electrical equipment and establishing how long these are left on for. We provide energy monitoring sockets to customers who can simply plug their appliances into the device and they will be able to see exactly how many watts of electricity they are using. By establishing how much energy is being used and for how long we can easily calculate the savings that can be achieved by retrofitting with energy saving alternatives.
One of the tools we use to establish trends in energy consumption and identify areas that can be improved on is by installing an energy monitoring system. These units are very easy to install without the need for an electrician. An energy monitor will indicate times of the day and night when energy consumption is highest and lowest. This is a very useful tool to investigate where savings can be made or changes to operations carried out. For example equipment that may need recharging can be put on a timer to charge at night when energy costs are at their lowest. Our automatic metering system (AMR) can be used to monitor all utilities from electricity to water to gas or oil. If changes are carried out, this can be easily seen by viewing the consumption online.
By installing energy efficient equipment such as low energy lighting it is possible to reduce a lighting bill by up to 50%. We can supply energy saving light bulbs that will match your current lighting requirements without compromising on the look and atmosphere of your current expensive bulbs.
SES can supply T5 Adaptors that can allow old fluorescent bulbs housings to be adapted to take new energy efficient bulbs .We also offer lighting controls that allow older fluorescent bulbs to run on less power without any loss of brightness.
In a domestic house a lot of energy is wasted by leaving equipment in standby mode. For example TV’s and computer screens can still use up to 70% of electricity when left in standby. SES supply standby savers, which will cut power supply to TV’s, monitors, speakers etc at the touch of a button while allowing certain critical pieces of equipment to be left on. Motion sensors installed in hallways and rooms that switch lights on and off are an extremely effective way of reducing energy costs.
