| Guaranteed Energy Savings |  | |
|
Often it is difficult to get funding for energy efficiency projects because the financial returns are uncertain. We want to reduce that risk by offering a guarantee of savings.
We provided tailored proposals for every job and include our guarantee in nearly all our work. So far every project has identified more than enough savings to meet the guarantee. |
|
| Our audits will identify savings worth more than our fee |
Energy Solutions guarantees that any energy audit we produce will clearly identify more energy cost savings (each year) than our (one time) fee for the audit. If not, we will promptly refund the excess of our audit fee over and above the identified savings.
The savings identified will be from changing technologies, behaviours or control settings, compared to how the facility is currently operating. The value of the savings will be calculated explicitly using good practice as understood by the energy uditor accreditation scheme of the New Zealand Energy Management Association, EECA, and New Zealand Standard 3598:2000 "Energy Audits".
The savings will be cost effective to the client, with each project recommended having a '"simple payback" of less than 3 years.
Because the guaranteed annual savings are at least as large as our maximum fee, you are assured of a maximum "one year payback" for the audit. |
|
| Energy savings worth more than our fee will be achieved |
Energy Solutions guarantees that any energy savings projects implemented with our assistance and as a result of our recommendations will be cost-effective. If not, we will promptly refund the excess of our management and audit fee over and above the achieved savings.
To assure this, agreement is needed on how to measure the savings as they only ever measured indirectly.
We guarantee that your investment will be cost-effective and that the total investment will show energy savings giving a "simple payback" of under 3 years.
This will normally require us to monitor and target the on-going energy use for the facility, and correct for the appropriate external factors influencing energy use (for a heating situation, the degree-days; for a production system, the production quantity).
We also have to ensure that all projects are designed, installed, commissioned and maintained properly, and often will require some sub metering to ensure that the savings are being achieved. All these costs are part of the investment that is guaranteed to produce savings. |
