“Passive” energy efficiency measures, such as insulation or the use of<br />
low consumption products are not enough to reach our goals and make an<br />
effective contribution to our energy future.<br />
To achieve significant, long-lasting results, it is essential to take “active”<br />
measures to improve the way our systems operate.<br />
Active energy can be obtained by optimising automation, regulation and<br />
constant monitoring:<br />
Checking and monitoring<br />
Measuring and monitoring electrical phenomena are the first essential<br />
step in raising awareness and changing incorrect habits and behaviour.<br />
Reducing energy consumption<br />
• Using automation and control systems to be sure<br />
we do not waste energy.<br />
• Adding monitoring and maintenance services<br />
to achieve consistent, long-lasting improvements.<br />
Reducing energy costs<br />
• Using strategies that reduce energy purchases by optimising<br />
management costs.<br />
• Choosing solutions for producing energy from renewable sources<br />
like photovoltaics.<br />
