Efficiency is about minimising inputs while maximising outputs. The same applies to energy efficiency - using energy smarter and using less to achieve the same or better results.

We provide energy efficiency solutions in the following areas:

• Efficient Lighting: Natural lighting; LED replacements; sensor installation; magnetic ballast replacement.
• Efficient water heating – heat pumps; solar water heaters and boilers.
• Heating, Ventilation and Aircon (HVAC): Heat reclamation and exchange; heat pump system design; passive heating, cooling and ventilation; thermal storage and insulation.
• Energy monitoring - if you can't measure it, you can't manage it.
• Load balancing - balancing draw to avoid peak time spikes.
• Efficient engines and motors - Variable Frequency Drives that save energy by matching torque to loads.

The vast majority of mankind’s industrial development has been facilitated by an abundance of cheap, readily available fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. These three fuel sources account for 90% of the world’s energy which results in two major problems. The one is that we are constantly increasing the level of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and as such contributing to global warming, as can be seen from the graph below.

The second problem is that these fuel sources are non-renewable and as they become more and more rare they are becoming more and more expensive. Most South Africans have been attributing the rise in electricity prices to mismanagement at our national electricity supplier, but it is important to note that we are only now starting to catch up with the rest of the world with regards to the price of electricity. We are also going to experience more and more increases in cost as international demand for fossil fuels goes up and supplies start to dwindle.

To cut a long story short, this means that the longer individuals and businesses wait until they become energy efficient the more it will cost them to convert, as well as having cost them more money in the interim.
