Facilities Management
Sustainability is an increasingly significant issue in facilities management. It is rare not to open an FM journal and be presented with an article on rising legislation and associated energy initiatives. Traditionally FM’s have not been accountable for the energy consumed on their client's estate. However, social change and the recent legislation are forcing a rethink, with energy reduction targets now commonplace. The CRC scheme for example forces businesses over a certain size to establish a comprehensive and accurate record of their CO2 emissions, and then take appropriate action to reduce energy.
Gil-lec Energy Efficient Solutions are here to help FM’s meet those targets, and ensure that your services are maintained, as part of a long term energy reduction strategy. The good news is, our products and services present an opportunity for you as the FM manager to really add value to your offering, ensuring long term loyalty with your client.
Our holistic approach to energy saving ensures that we can deliver a range products and services all targeted at energy identification and reduction.
Metering must be viewed as an important start to an energy reduction offering. By gathering data on existing energy inefficient technology, the FM is in a much stronger position to recommend new technology and report on its success.
New technology initiatives could take the form of simple retrofit up-lamping. Our Cost of Ownership report and product recommendations will identify the best lamp for the job in each case. Working with our key strategic partners we can also conduct full lighting surveys and produce detailed lighting schemes. These can be designed in conjunction with a host of building management and lighting control systems to enable the highest savings, and future proof the building.
Where applicable we will also assess a building’s Power Factor and address the efficiency of motors, pumps and drives.
Your changes may enhance the organisation's ability to compete in the rapidly developing world. Call one of our energy specialists today to learn more about our products and services.
