ENERGY MANAGEMENT & OPTIMISATION
SAM has taken a holistic approach to Energy Management for existing and Green Buildings: An Audit is conducted to see where the most saving can be achieved, using the Pareto Principle. A combination of both active and passive technologies are used.
ACTIVE & PASSIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Active Technologies encompass;
BMS (Building Management System)
- Access Control
- Fire Detection
- CCTV
- Lighting
- HVAC
- Heat Pumps
- PV (Photovoltaic) Systems
Passive Technologies encompass;
- Double Glazing
- Insulation of roofs, walls and floors
- Alucobond® insulation
- Recycled cork panels
- Exfoliated vermiculite
DME ENERGY GOALS
Final Demand Reduction of 12 % by 2015
- 15% reduction by 2015 of energy use in Industry & Mining
- 15% reduction by 2015 of "parasitic" electrical usage
- 15% reduction by 2015 of energy use Commercial & Public Building Sectors
- 10% reduction by 2015 of energy use in Residential Sector
- 9% reduction by 2015 of energy use in Transport
ELECTRICAL COSTS
Electricity Costs have doubled over the past three years
Electricity Cost will rise by an average of 16% p.a. for the foreseeable future
The compound effect means that electrical costs will become a major operational cost.
RISE IN COSTS GRAPH
Electricity Cost will rise by an average of 16% p.a.
