Monitoring energy usage at fuel pumps: clear indications of money saved
In the world of facility management, every penny saved is a penny earned. That's why the introduction of the Grundfos Energy Check service has been a game-changer. This innovative service, designed to evaluate the efficiency of circulation pumps, has been making a significant impact, particularly in the German-speaking region.
The Energy Check service, following the ISO 14414 (Energy evaluation of pump systems), offers a reliable estimate of savings potential in pumps. It's a comprehensive evaluation that considers essential data on savings in electricity, energy costs, CO2, investment costs, and amortization.
Martin Hofmann, Aftermarket Sales Manager at Grundfos, affirms the service's reliability, stating, "The Energy Check provides a solid overview for reliably estimating savings potential in pumps."
One of the most striking benefits of the Energy Check is the financial savings it offers. For instance, in a fitness center, replacing two outdated pumps with two intelligently controlled block pumps can reduce operating costs by almost 7,000 euros per year. In an office and residential building, exchanging four outdated primary circulation pumps in the cooling system can save over 26,000 euros per year.
Moreover, in a hospital, an investment of around 47,000 euros opens up annual savings of 25,000 euros. Even in hospitals with 12 medium-sized circulation pumps, the Energy Check reveals savings opportunities.
The Energy Check is not just about financial savings. It's also about making informed decisions that contribute to a greener future. By identifying more efficient alternatives for almost all pumps, the Energy Check helps reduce CO2 emissions.
The process is straightforward. The operator provides operational information for the Energy Check, which is conducted by specially trained employees, usually on-site. After receiving the report, Grundfos discusses the results with the plant operator and provides further recommendations.
The Energy Check is designed to help plant operators make a secure modernization decision. The calculated payback time of Energy Check-recommended investments is typically less than three years. If a partial modernization is already planned, the corresponding system parts can be spared or decided on a case-by-case basis with the Energy Check.
Facility management service providers can derive concrete measures from the Energy Check that help meet contractual cost and CO2 reduction targets. With more than 1,000 Energy Checks conducted per year in the German-speaking region, it's clear that this service is making a difference.
In most cases, an immediate exchange is usually recommended if the system is still in operation for a longer period. The Energy Check helps with decisions regarding the replacement of pumps that amortize in a short period, even if the modernization is not due for another two years.
In summary, the Grundfos Energy Check service offers a valuable tool for facility managers seeking to reduce costs, lower CO2 emissions, and make informed decisions about pump system modernization.
