THE POTENTIAL FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY SOLUTIONS IN KSA

4TH INDUSTRIALISTS FORUM Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency: Emerging Business Opportunities for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
14th & 15th of May 2012

 Standardizing testing procedures for AC units Clear labeling of star rating and spreading public awareness among consumers Mandatory regulations enforced in the Kingdom for minimum EERs on AC units & guidance for the general public in choosing higher star units

Using the Star Rating system on appliances Televisions: LED vs. LCD Refrigeration: low kW/year usage Stoves: induction cookers

 Energy reduction solution e.g. Airconmiser Heat recovery unit e.g. NuAire Installing a high quality digital thermostat Using double glazed insulated windows Installing high R-value thermal insulation on walls

 Enables split unit or window-mounted unit to operate using up to 61% less electricity Enhances air quality by stabilizing temperature and humidity levels Works alongside existing thermostat, improving AC using clever controls Lowers energy consumption and so shrinks carbon footprint, is good for the national economy & protects finite natural resources

 Synthetic Refrigerant Additive (SRA) is a non corrosive liquid added to refrigerants on cooling systems Easily installed on existing systems within minutes and works with all common refrigerants Increases cooling capacity and reduces energy consumption by up to 35%

 A system of micro computer digital optimization modules designed to reduce electrical consumption & maximum demand of refrigeration and AC compressors Optimizing AC & refrigeration compressors while operating within existing control parameters Designed to interface with all types and makes of AC & refrigeration controllers, from simplest form to most sophisticated Unlike rigid conventional control systems, ESMs are highly reactive and automatically adjust to changing load conditions

 Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are reliable electronic devices that control three-phase electric speed Reduce amps during motor starting, lowering demand charges Inherent soft starting minimizes wear & tear on motors, sheaves, belts, couplings & other system components Provide accurate HVAC control settings, significantly lower electrical consumption and minimizing carbon footprint

 Investigating current situation Analyzing/highlighting where major consumption is lying Identifying possible savings solutions, and estimating potential energy reduction Implementing complete integrated facility management solution to reduce energy consumption

 An Energy Service Company (ESCO) is a business that develops, installs, and arranges financing for projects designed to improve energy efficiency & maintenance costs for a facility over a 7 to 20 year time period Services offered by ESCOs are typically: developing, designing, arranging finances for energy efficiency projects, installing & maintaining the energy efficient equipment involved, measuring, monitoring & verifying a projects energy savings ESCO services are bundled into a projects costs, and are repaid through the savings generated

 Regulations The need to have mandatory legislation. Buildings New and existing inside and out People Awareness attitude social responsibility We need to act now to preserve the future oil

Thank you for the opportunity
