Questions

This depends on the solution that you choose, but may include a PLC, temperature sensors, flow and power meters, gateways, controllers, and an intelligent algorithm.

There is no downtime during installation. This is because the equipment is installed in parallel to your system.

This varies based on the solution you choose, but should take no longer than 1 week.

All costs related to installation are included in the startup fee. You can calculate fees for your chosen solution by downloading and using this spreadsheet.

The fees involved depend upon the size and specifications of your chilled water system, and the specific solution you choose. As a general rule, facilities containing more cooling towers will incur a higher fee due to the additional equipment which will need to be installed. However, the resulting benefit in terms of savings will also be greater.

To calculate fees based on your chosen solution and facility specifications by downloading and using this spreadsheet.

Fees are structured into a startup cost and a recurring cost. The startup cost covers all fees related to installation, including manpower required, and is a one-off payment. Recurring costs are levied on a monthly basis and cover all ongoing services related to the solution you choose (e.g. providing raw data, delivering reports on energy consumption, consultancy).

Your return on investment will be in three areas: 1) Reduced energy consumption, 2) Reduced costs related to energy, 3) Reduced carbon emissions.

‍

How you realise this return depends on the solution that you choose. If you opt for our Monitor, Report or Consult solutions, then the data/information/consultancy provided by our team will help you carry out system optimisations yourself, which will in turn enable savings to energy, cost and emissions.

‍

On the other hand, if you choose our Optimise solution, we will install a fully automated optimisation solution that will adjust component settings to deliver savings without your input required.

‍

Our Optimise solution has delivered energy, cost and emissions savings of up to 35% for our clients.

The efficiency of a chilled water system has to do with how it adapts to building use and environmental factors (e.g. changing humidity and temperature). Therefore, even if a system contains the latest machinery and technology, it would not achieve efficiency unless its component's settings are continually changed to meet current conditions.

The solutions that we offer enable your team to make changes to component settings in a timely and accurate manner. This means that you will be able to adapt to changing conditions and achieve savings.

Yes, you will. In fact, your company will receive a certificate of emissions reduction which - depending on your market of operation - can be traded as a carbon offset on global or local carbon markets.
