You have an effective plan to reduce the thermal loads of the building and you manage the installation, operation and maintenance of the mechanical systems properly. Keep on going like that and you will measure significant benefits in the long run.

Part 2Study the benefits of the above practices and stop to think of the impact of those practices in the long run for your business and for the community in general.

ACTIVITY BENEFITSgood thermal insulation (roof, duct, boiler and external piping of the central heating of the building)

means less energy loss which means less money spent on heating

"smart" windows with double glazing or low traffic glazing (low-e)

ensures heat during winter and coolness during summer; the use of radiators (reduction of heating needs up to 30%) and air conditioners is respectively limited

sealing of the frames reduces heat losses and improves thermal comfort

open curtains and sunshades on the south windows

the sun can pass indoors to warm and illuminate the space

periodic venting in the radiators, which should not be covered at all

necessary because their performance is significantly reduced

regular maintenance of the boiler at least once a year at the end of the winter

improves performance, reduces fuel consumption and air pollution and the equipment has a longer service life

close or set the thermostat at a lower temperature in the evening or when there is no one in the room for several hours

enables to achieve energy saving of 1-2% for every degree of reduction in the thermostat

avoiding frequent adjustments of the thermostat, keeping the temperature relatively constant

reduces the operating time of the radiators

isolation of unused spaces by adjusting the switch of radiators

reduces the space to heat which entails reducing the operating time of the radiators

Part 3Rate the activities according to cost, level of difficulty to implement, and usefulness to customers. Choose not applicable when it is irrelevant for your business.

Part 2

Read the benefits of the above practices and stop to think of the impact of those practices in the long run for your business and for the community in general.

Companies should: ventilate the premises of the business at night when the outside air

temperature is lower to remove the heat accumulated during the day);

2017-1-PL01-KA202-038501


dye exterior walls with light colours, because dull dark exterior walls absorb 70-90% of solar radiation, resulting in heat storage, which is finally transmitted inside the building;

plant trees, preferably deciduous, which prevent sunlight in the summer, but leave it in the winter;

plant a tree that shades the outdoor unit of an air conditioner. It improves its performance and can reduce energy consumption by 10%;

use the ceiling fan as it efficiently cools the interior by dropping the temperature by 5-6 degrees. Using a ceiling fan for 30 days reduces CO2 emissions by 600-700 kg. To cover a room of 25-30 m2 a fan with fins of 0.9 meters is required, while for a room of 50 m2 a fan with fins of 1.4 meters is recommended;

choose air conditioners by examining not only their energy consumption but also the refrigerant they use;

replace the oil boiler with a natural gas or biomass boiler.

2017-1-PL01-KA202-038501


CORRECT ANSWERSIf possible the text in red should be displayed with some of the answers

ENERGY SAVING NOT ENERGY SAVINGchoosing electrical appliances of energy class A or A + or A ++ instead of B, C, D or E

keeping electrical appliances in “stand by” mode instead of “ON/OFF”When the appliances are on “stand by” mode, the energy consumption continues almost at the same level with “ON” mode.

connecting the electrical devices to a special power strip with a bright red switch. The power strip in OFF position stops the power supply to the electrical devices with which it is connected

not removing the charger out of the socket after every useFor each charger coming out of the socket the power consumption is reduced, the operating costs are reduced and the release of 20-30 kg CO2 in the atmosphere per year is prevented

using motion sensors (or presence - absence sensors) in areas with limited use (e.g. warehouse, WC etc.)Can reach up to 50% power savings

turning off devices with a remote controlΑll electrical devices must be turned off by the main switch instead of the remote control

using automatic control systems (timers, techniques for automatic adjustment of interior lighting in relation to the exterior)

limited utilization of natural lighting (skylights etc)

using energy saving lamps with electronic ballast instead of magnetic ballastThere is a clear difference in electricity consumption

using the incandescent bulbs rather than the LED lampsAn incandescent bulb 100W can operate for up to 1000 hours while an energy saving lamp 21W has a light output of 100 W and a lifetime of 6 to 10 incandescent lamps together.

Matching activityService How can this help save

water?

Water auditing (on-site)

Harvested water within a process can be used for another purpose, after treatment.

Rainwater harvesting

It can lead to significant reductions in water use. Some simple examples are:

don’t leave taps running report leaks immediately don’t leave any equipment running that uses

water when not in use look out for any opportunities to save water –

Developing a water strategy

It sets out a clear approach to auditing water use, developing retrofit and behaviour change options, as well as working across the business to deliver this.

Behaviour/ education

It can lead to significant reductions in water use. Some simple examples are:

don’t leave taps running report leaks immediately don’t leave any equipment running that uses

water when not in use look out for any opportunities to save water –

don’t assume someone else has identified the opportunity

don’t overfill kettles

Part 2Read the rules/recommendations below. Choose the ones which do NOT describe eco-driving.4 points – one for each correct choiceTHE CORRECT CHOICES ARE MARKED IN GREEN1. Change gear (speed) to 2,000-2,500 revolutions.2. Not driving at steady speed, using the lowest transmission ratio.3. Prediction of traffic conditions. Drivers should observe as far ahead as possible to be able to predict traffic conditions around them and to act appropriately and timely. As long as the vehicles are stopped, they move at a slow speed or are forced to stop frequently, they consume more fuel than when they travel at steady speed.4. Strong accelerations and decelerations.5. Switch off the engine during short stops (more than 1 minute).6. Proper and regular maintenance of the vehicle and in particular of the tires, with control of the last at least once a month. Proper tire pressure improves fuel economy and road safety. A pressure of less than 25% means about 2% more fuel consumption.

2017-1-PL01-KA202-038501


7. Avoid carrying unnecessary loads and using a roof rack. Any add-on a component mounted on the vehicle (racks, roof racks, etc.) causes increasing aerodynamic drag and hence increasing fuel consumption.8. Frequent gear shifts and use of brake.9. Avoiding unnecessary window openings and aerodynamic placement.10. Prudent use of air conditioning. Air conditioning is only used when it is really necessary and not set below 23 degrees Celsius.11. Drive uphill with the maximum transmission ratio and use almost the whole of the throttle, on the downhill taking advantage of the speed the vehicle acquires without being used the throttle.12. Driving in turns: Smooth acceleration before each turn, avoid the use of brake.
