Utilities management initiatives
In addition to reviewing utilities efficiency improvement opportunities, your community may also consider utilities management opportunities whereby major utilities consuming equipment within the units and common areas is controlled by a central computer system so as to ensure that they do not operate during times of peak utilities cost, particularly in the case of “time of use” electricity tariffs. Other initiatives such as time clocks and standby load control switches may be combined with off peak hot water and ice storage systems to reduce utilities demand during peak cost periods.
Silver Asset Services utilises the knowledge gained during the preceding energy efficiency improvement audit process to identify items of controllable utilities load that can be integrated through a central control system to modify your community’s utilities usage profile to further reduce overall utilities costs.
