PROJECT BRIEF
EECO2 was tasked to reduce energy demand at the client site, without compromising on compliance or laboratory safety.The client site had very high energy demands, driven by original HVAC design and layout with high air change rates and fresh air volumes.
METHODOLOGY
EECO2 supported with a HVAC design review, defined project scope, managed local contractors.
EECO2 carried out the smoke visualisation trials and recommended a reduced fume cupboard capture face velocity, to deliver 20% energy savings.
The client then used this data to develop strategy for further improvement work.
SOLUTION
The main opportunities solutions for optimisation identified were as follows:
Reduce existing air change rates
Reduce existing fresh air volume
Improve plant operational maintenance
Optimise BMS system
Recommended upgrading laboratory fume cupboards to VAV
Recommended upgrade & control of warehousing facilities
RESULTS
Energy savings identified (per year):
2,200 MWh
Energy cost savings identified (per year):
$347,000
Emissions reduction (per year):
