Technologies
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
Significant savings are achieveable in HVAC systems which typically account for upto 30% of energy use in commercial buildings.
Lighting
There are many low-cost and no-cost measures that can be implemented to reduce lighting costs without adversely affecting working conditions.
Motors and Motor Systems
Energy management focusing on electric motors and motor systems has the potential to save more electricity than in any other electricity end-use.
Pumps and Fans
Together, pumps and fans account for around 40% of the motive power used in Australian industry. Potential savings can be significant.
Compressed Air
There is significant potential to save energy in compressed air systems by reducing the need for compressed air services, optimising equipment and upgrading old systems.
Process Heat, Boilers and Steam Systems
Energy use in process heating systems can be reduced by lowering demand for heating services, improving efficiency and by recovering heat for reuse.
Under development
A range of additional technology pages are also under development. These pages will summarise some of the key energy efficiency opportunities available under the following technology categories, and link to best practice resource material:
- Transport Technologies
- Energy Management Systems
- Waste Heat Recovery
- Materials Movement
- Crushing and Grinding
Pages will be released onto the EEX website as they are completed.
