Due to the coronavirus, companies around the world are now operating in an emergency mode / exceptional
maneer. Budgets are verified anew, managers wonder how to reduce costs, often deciding to change the
priorities and sometimes the goals of the organization's functioning.
Budget are being revised, and managers are considering how to reduce costs, often deciding to change
their priorities and sometimes the objectives of the organization.
It's important to be aware of the challenges at this point, although they seem a bit delayed, require
action now. One of them undoubtedly is energy management. Attention to improving energy efficiency should
become a permanent feature of the modern business model, and its positive effects may be felt in the near
future.
You can entrust us with the assessment of the situation in this regard. Marcova carries out professional
energy audits, and on their basis, customers make decisions about modernization and energy savings.
The audit is carried out in several stages:
First, we determine what can be modified or replaced at the customer's site in order to reduce energy
bills / charges
Then we analyze the possible technological solutions to be applied in a given case - more energy-saving
and environmentally friendly lighting devices and fittings
In the end we present to the Client a summary of the anticipated savings with the modernization costs and
the level of return on investment.
The lighting, the office equipment which is in use, and, in particular, printing devices should be
analyzed, observing the habits and behavior of specific users. Energy consumption profiling is also very
important. We help in optimizing such profiling by looking at tariffs and contract terms for energy
supplies, internal billing methods and supplier fees.
Few customers pay attention to this, however it is worth knowing that everyone has a specified maximum
power allocation in the contract with the energy supplier.
When overestimating an allocation, too much is paid for it, and when underestimated - the penalty for
exceeding it.
What's all this for?
The first and for many, the most important argument is to decrease electricity bills. Not everyone
knows how big their energy consumption is, and how charges could be reduced.
Smaller bills mean savings for the company and more money for investments, employees and
development. Equally important, the use of energy-saving solutions allows you
to become independent from the political turmoil associated with setting energy prices.
It becomes easier to calculate the costs of production, manufacturing a product, because the lower the
consumption, the smaller the impact of changes in energy prices on the company's operations is.
Let's not forget about the positive psychological aspect of improving the quality of light. Employees
concentrate more easily, they are less tired, and their efficiency and work comfort increase. This
is another argument for modernization.
The implementation of energy-saving solutions is also supported by
fewer interruptions in operation, which are ncessary to replace light sources.
Downtime can be particularly burdensome in three-shift plants.
The savings associated with not having to purchase lighting replacements, and not having to pay labour
costs are obvious.
The last, albeit one of the most important and more and more frequently quoted arguments, is the reduced
carbon dioxide emissions and the beneficial effect on the environment.
While the pandemic is not the recommended energy-saving solution, let's look at it in this context. During
the pandemic, the Earth gasped. The reduction in economic and industrial activity contributed to an
unusually large decrease in carbon dioxide emissions. Does this change have to be only temporary?
It is worth learning from this situation and doing everything possible to remember the need for deep
systemic transformations leading to a more sustainable economy, that will be good for people and the
planet during the recovery period. Such changes will be real thanks to the introduction of energy-saving
solutions that may not only contribute to the improvement of companies' finances, but also the quality of
life of the Earth's inhabitants.
