Electric cars are part of the solution to successfully decarbonising your company’s vehicle fleet. It is also essential to set up a suitable charging infrastructure within the company so that the logistics of charging can be managed internally. For greater autonomy, the system can be combined with a solar power installation.

Beyond self-consumption, there are other support mechanisms that can represent an interesting economic model, such as the guaranteed feed-in tariff or the market premium resulting from a call for tenders. The installation can be financed from your own funds or by a third-party investor, who can also take care of its planning and completion.

The ideal heating system for halls must therefore be able to heat the different work areas individually and produce heat at the right height.
Halls and workshops have specific heating requirements due to their size and use. It is therefore essential to carry out a thorough requirements analysis before installing a new heating system.
Continue reading “Hall and workshop heating”To ensure that the ventilation system is working properly and monitor the financial impact, regular analysis of requirements and technological monitoring are necessary. In the detailed description below, you can find the analysis to be applied in the case of ventilation renewal.
As a first step, we strongly advise you to carry out a detailed analysis of your company’s current ventilation situation and requirements, and to anticipate possible changes in requirements in the future (building project, change of use of certain rooms, etc.)
On the basis of this analysis, the new ventilation system can be sized.

The potential savings are quite varied and depend heavily on the condition and management of the lighting system. In order to unlock the full potential, this measure proposes a range of optimisation measures, from simple practical initiatives to a complete overhaul of the lighting system.

Despite its abundant use, it is a complex medium to control, resulting in high operating costs. In an unmonitored installation, as much as 90% of the losses in heat generation and distribution can be linked to leaks. Compressed air costs can be contained by regularly analysing energy requirements and through technological monitoring. This applies to all new compressed air system.

Despite its abundant use, it is a complex medium to control, resulting in high operating costs. In an unmonitored installation, losses during heat generation and distribution due to leaks can be up to 90 %. Compressed air costs can be contained by regularly analysing energy requirements and through technological monitoring. This measure is required for every new compressed air system.

This approach helps you become less reliant on the energy market and suppliers, insulating you from price fluctuations. For instance, by installing solar panels, you can produce renewable electricity that meets your company’s electrical needs, whether it’s for lighting, powering an EV-charging station, or running other appliances. Additionally, this self-produced energy can also be used to power larger systems like heat pumps.
The following article provides an overview of various self-consumption methods, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks, along with the necessary procedures, available subsidies, and relevant measures.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions linked to the transport of people and goods keep rising within the European Union. This concerns all types of vehicles, and a transition is necessary to meet national and European targets.
Purchasing these vehicles in principle requires the installation of one or more electric charging station(s) and can be supplemented by the installation of photovoltaic panels.
Key steps and aspects to consider when planning and implementing this change are outlined below.
Continue reading “Purchase of electric utility vehicles”In order to have an overview of a company’s energy situation, it is important to monitor its consumption. Carrying out an energy analysis enables you to detect over-consumption and determine the measures you need to take to improve. With a view to continuous improvement, regular monitoring is essential.
