Select Energy Solutions: Overview

Overview

Buildings and/or processes will consume energy throughout the normal working day, either through the use of space conditioning equipment to provide comfortable working environments for occupants or for processes operational during the manufacture / assembly of a product.

Reasons why your organisation should use Select Energy Solutions (SES) to assist in realising savings:

Financial
Energy represents an unavoidable cost in running any business or organisation. Energy costs are often considered as fixed and something that is unavoidable. Energy costs are often perceived as small costs in the operation of a business. Typical energy costs may only represent between 1% and 5 % of turnover. Nevertheless, lowered expenditure on energy can be re-directed into other resources or to increase bottom line profit. A reduction in overhead expenditure can manifest itself as a large percentage increase in profits. Such opportunities are not to be missed. The knowledge and technology exist to reduce energy consumption by 40%. From a practical viewpoint it is typically possible to reduce energy consumption by 5-20% through cost effective measures. SES can assist you in realising these potential savings. Energy prices will continue to rise. Energy taxation policy will be introduced in the near future and result in a significant step increase in energy prices. Taking action now can minimise the impact of these future uncertainties.

Legislative
Legislation may require your organisation to carry out energy surveys, energy audits or flue gas emissions monitoring as legislative obligations, e.g. under IPPC licence agreements. SES are able to provide these services at competitive rates. SES prefer to consider this as opportunity to identify energy savings potentials and realise financial benefits in terms of long term cost savings, increases in profits and or improvements in competitiveness.

Directives originating from the European Commission such as the Carbon Emissions Trading Directive and Energy Performance of Buildings Directive aimed at curbing Europe's rising consumption rates are designed to encourage improved energy efficiency and a reduction in pollutant emissions. A pro-active approach to such legislation will provide any organisation with a competitive edge when directives are enabled.

Environmental Sustainability
It is now generally accepted that "Global Warming" is taking place as a consequence of the large scale release of greenhouse gases. The combustion of fossil fuels is one of the major contributors to global warming. Ireland as a nation is committed to curtailing its release of greenhouse gases. Ireland ratified the Kyoto Protocol and pledged to maintain greenhouse gas emissions within +13% of 1990 levels by 2008 - 2012. Ireland has already exceeded this quota with 2002 emissions at 29% above 1990 levels. Ireland must act urgently in order to meets its 2008 - 2012 targets. Ireland has a rich and diverse natural environment. It is up to us all to make a contribution towards its sustainability in the future. Addressing the issue of global warming by reducing your pollutant emissions will allow you to improve your company's environmental reputation while reducing your expenditure.
