ENERGY PERFORMANCE
SERVICES
The generic services include preliminary energy
survey of the facility, Investment Grade Audit
and conceptual design, detail design and project
specification, supervision of EE project implementation,
testing and commissioning and Monitoring and Verification
(M&V).
To begin with, a proper energy survey, which
includes site familiarization, physical site audit
and data logging that, may take 6 to 8 weeks with
the mobilization of our energy engineers, monitoring
and data logging equipment to the plant. All these
are done at our cost to determine the energy consumption
patterns, efficiency, formulation of Energy Performance
Indicators (EPI) and saving potentials. Having
completed the said, we can therefore advise our
clients on are the areas of improvements to reduce
energy costs at their facility.
The M&V exercise will be used to gauge the
performances of the provided services or implemented
projects. During the entire period, Lumentech
will carry out monthly M&V activities to justify
the savings.
