Quick savings on energy

You may not think about it every day, but you can often save energy with your existing installations and processes. A lot of energy can be saved simply by limiting the demand for energy. The Energy Scan run by Cofely and its sister company, Laborelec, makes this visible.

The Energy Scan involves a two to five day scan resulting in ten to fifteen best savings’ proposals: considerable savings, quick recovery of costs and with no disruption to your production process.

Integral approach

The Energy Scan is aimed at the following systems, processes and energy related effects:

central building services (including compressed air, cold, heat and steam)
generation
distribution
correct use
heat recovery
engines and drives
lighting
production processes
benchmarking
solving bottlenecks

Proven results

The Energy Scan has been deployed more than 800 times, at large and medium-sized companies in the following industries: (petro) chemical, pharmaceutical, care, steel and paper and cardboard. With this wide experience, it is often possible to use benchmarking in many sectors. Most importantly, the Energy Scan has led to concrete savings advice (quick wins) in all cases, with energy savings of up to 15%.

Insight into your energy flow in four steps

The Energy Scan is built up of four elements:

Checklist for insight into the energy use of your processes and installations.
Analysis on site of the systems and processes of their ‘contribution’ to the energy use.
Ten to fifteen concrete suggestions for savings ('quick wins' with a maximum cost recovery time of two years and advice with a maximum cost recovery time of five years).
You may decide yourself exactly which suggestion you wish to carry out. Cofely offers an attractive proposal for its realisation.

The Energy Scan applies to energy bills of at least EUR 500,000 annually. Cofely also has proven solutions, such as the Cofely Building Scan, for companies with lower energy bills.
