The final objective for making our buildings more sustainable is clear. By 2050, we must have achieved a 95% CO2 saving. As a result, it is also becoming increasingly clear which measures should play an important role in achieving this objective.<\/p>\n\t
Savings are achieved by renewing buildings and installations, but the proper management of these buildings can also make a significant contribution to CO2 reduction. This is also recognised in European and Dutch legislation. For example, energy monitoring is a recognised measure: a measure that will always yield returns for many types of buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Energy monitoring provides insight into and monitors the energy consumption of a building. On this basis, building systems can be adapted to reduce and optimise consumption. This is referred to as energy management. In this article, consultant Youp van der Zande shows how energy monitoring and energy management can deliver major savings and how you can apply it in your organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Savings of 5 to 20% achievable in any building<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that most buildings are equipped with smart energy meters, the consumption can often be tracked per fifteen minutes or per hour on the main meters. This also makes it possible to carry out energy monitoring and management for virtually any building. The measurement data can be obtained from the measuring company or energy supplier. Various types of software are available to analyse the data. In practice, savings of 5 to 20% of the annual consumption can then be seen. For an office building, it is advisable to start with a check of the following points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “When your company applies energy management and energy monitoring on a continuing basis, your organisation will automatically comply with the legislation relating to energy efficiency. In addition, experience shows time and again that the hours spent are almost always quickly recouped and therefore the energy costs are reduced in the long term.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\u2013 Youp van der Zande, consultant at CFP<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Below you can see the energy consumption of a real-life building. The green line shows that consumption from 3.30 p.m. until 10.30 p.m. was higher than night consumption. Presumably the ventilation and other electronic systems were switched on between those times. As this is an office building that is not used in the evening, the clock times in the building management system could easily be adjusted.<\/p>\n\t The graph below shows the consumption on the next day in purple. This action already resulted in a saving of 25%! The start-up in the morning seemed at first to be possible at a later time, but inquiries on location revealed that people start work early and that therefore heat from the building often has to be ventilated early by night ventilation. A further adjustment was therefore not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFigures from practice<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n \n
