  • Payback period: 9 months

Lighting Retrofit: Stellenbosch

Significant energy savings were achieved by replacing inefficient lighting with energy efficient technologies at an auditing and accounting firm in Stellenbosch. After a thorough energy audit performed for 4 weeks, the specific load factor of the lighting circuits was logged and the savings potential was quantified.

Details:

  • Demand reduction:         9 kWp
  • Annual savings:                 31 000 kWh
  • Savings potential:             44%

 

Dairy & Wine Cellar Energy Analysis

An extensive energy audit project was launched at a dairy and wine cellar to identify energy and cost saving opportunities. Detailed monitoring and reporting of energy consumption were done for 6 months. An action plan and roadmap were then developed to guide investment towards improved energy efficiency.

Details:

  • Detailed monitoring & reporting – 6 months
  • Action plan & roadmap developed from data analysis

  • Savings Potential              30%

Office Park: De Wagenweg

This energy efficiency project was done in Stellenbosch at an office park consisting of 5 buildings. The total saving of more than 60 kW was achieved by replacing conventional lights with more efficient technologies, such as LED’s.

Details:

  • Demand reduction: 60 kWp
  • Savings potential: 165 000 kWp per year

Office Park: PWC

A total saving of approximately 7.2 kW was achieved at another office park in Stellenbosch, also consisting of 5 buildings. The energy efficiency project entailed the replacement of conventional lights with more efficient technologies, such as LED’s

Details:

  • Demand reduction: 7.2 kWp
  • Savings potential: 20 000 kWp per year
