RECOMMENDATIONS: to boost energy efficiency

Power supply

  • Introduce new pricing strategies to discourage heavy users of electricity.

  • Spur the development of demand side management, where power companies make money from helping customers save energy. Currently, utility companies lose revenue if they were to promote efficiency and reduce demand.

Homes

  • Utilities bill to show prominently the average electricity consumption of different sized flats.

  • Labels on air-conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines to tell if the model is energy efficient.

  • Study how solar energy and wind energy can be tapped for facilities in common areas.

Buildings

  • Audit energy use in large public sector buildings and set targets to boost energy efficiency.

  • Set energy efficiency standards for public and private housing.

  • Make audits mandatory for all buildings above five years which use energy inefficiently.

Transport

Facilitate the introduction of energy efficient vehicles as soon as possible, while continuing to encourage the use of public transport.

Industry

  • Introduce energy efficiency standards and best practices for the manufacturing sector by studying the experience of other countries.

  • Study if large industrial consumers should be required to carry out energy audits and whether they should be given incentives to improve.

Management Energy Saving Service Consultant

  • Turn off electrical appliances and machinery not being used. A checklist can be given to night watchmen and maintenance personnel. In kitchens, frying tables, coffee warmers, and grills can be shut down or lowered during slack periods. Warm-up time before high occupancy should be kept as short as possible. But electrical equipment should be turned on gradually to avoid high demand charges.

  • Improve maintenance of motors, engines, and turbines.

  • Examine elevator usage; shut down excess capacity. In many buildings, full capacity elevator usage only occurs for short periods of time when occupants are entering or leaving the building. Most elevators can be shut off during unoccupied hours.

  • Correct power factor, by installing capacitors on motors. Many power factor problems are the result of motors running below peak capacity. Transformers and fluorescent lamps also contribute to low power factors.

  • Close off unused areas and rooms.

  • Wash and dry full laundry loads only.

  • Keep refrigeration condenser coils clean. Check for sufficient air circulation.
