Retrofit Suggestions for Energy Efficient Warehouse Facilities

IntroductionUK warehousing facilities can reduce energy costs by over £200million p.a. via effective energy efficiency measures and retrofit opportunities.

Discovery the major saving opportunities for your business, most of which can have a payback on investment in under 3 years.

Typical barriers to energy efficiency Staff expertise Time resource Availability of capital funding

Overcome these issues using outsourcing energy management provider. They monitor, identify and address energy wastage cost-effectively - carbonmanager365.

Availability of capital funding is no longer a barrier to project implementation. Energy Performance Contacting generate guaranteed savings and accelerate energy reduction with no upfront capital requirement.

Where is energy consumedFocus areas - lighting and heating

Reduce Usage with Task Lighting

Switching to a natural-lighting or task-lighting--where lights are only used in areas where visibility is crucial-- can reduce consumption.

Introduce Naturally-Lit Solar Pipes

Solar pipes are made-up of highly reflective material, and can channel natural light into the warehouse.

Install intelligent energy efficient lighting

Achieve 70 per cent performance improvement over conventional systems with T5/T8 fluorescent & LEDs, occupancy sensors and wireless

control via your existing BMS

Install Wireless Lighting Sensors

Sensors reduce lighting when facilities aren't in use, or when facilities already receive ample natural lighting.

Integrate wireless movement and temp sensors with lighting & HVAC

Wirelessly integrate HVAC-R to occupancy and temperature sensors to link energy consumption to warehouse use, not set timers

Utilize intelligent thermostats

Wireless sensors that integrate into your BMS can help regulate and measure the warehouse temperature to create seasonal control patterns

and reduce cooling/heating cycles.

Invest in Destratification Fans

Large, slow-moving fans, or smaller, quicker fans can destratify the air in a warehouse--mixing the warm air and reducing the amount of energy necessary to heat a facility in

cooler climates.

Energy monitoring and control

 On average, 20% of warehouse energy costs are wasted from poor efficiency. Envido provides cost-effective energy management support to identify saving opportunities via

its carbonmanager365 service.

Install Sprayed-Foam Insulation

Insulation can greatly reduce warehouses' HVAC energy usage, as it has twice the R-value as batt insulation.

Retrofit using no upfront finance via Energy Performance Contracting

Consider implementing several retrofits via an EPC to deliver guaranteed savings with no upfront costs. Self-financing projects harness future energy savings
