Energy Management for Industrial Plants
Management concepts in the energy sector are still at an early stage, comprising energy controlling measures, more comprehensive action concepts - which is what energy management is really all about - and the integration of energy service companies.
The primary aim of energy management is to improve profitability, productivity and competitiveness by reducing energy costs. If these ecological and economic targets are to be adhered to, it is essential that properties are monitored on a continuous basis, building services adjusted accordingly and energy measures dynamically adapted to suit altered utilisation concepts.
The modernisation of building services such as lighting, air conditioning and ventilation, an optimisation of operational systems and the way they are run, and the employment of rational energy conversion systems, such as combined heat and power generation, are all essential elements in a management concept. Corresponding high-quality technical solutions are available on the German market.
In Germany, building operators and occupants have carried projects out successfully, both without outside help and by contracting out the work to energy service providers. The involvement of service providers on the basis of installation or performance contracting agreements is one of the growth markets in Germany. A large number of projects in foreign countries are already profiting from the expertise available here.
