Sustainability To Us
It involves the responsible and efficient use of resources with the use of enduring systems that promote the well-being of people, the planet and prosperity over the long term. In partnership with our clients we are working on Sustainability initiatives in three main areas.
Our Commitment
Our commitment is to the highest global Environmental Management Standards to reflect our strong commitment to working sustainably and doing right by the environment.
Emissions Reduction
Emissions means the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere over a specified area and period of time. These greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet.
Our clients are asking for the optimisation of existing assets for enhanced energy efficiency, they want to use better refrigerants and build innovative new assets that reflect their sustainability and environmental goals.
Strategic asset management discussions include:
- Proactively maintenance of existing assets
- Enhancing the performance of existing assets
- Scoping, design and installation of innovative retrofits
- Design and installation of complete system replacements
- New system design and installation
Decarbonisation
Decarbonisation is essentially achieved by switching to usage of low carbon energy sources such as hydro, wind or sunlight to generate electricity.
Our discussions here are all about changing plant systems from oil, coal or gas to better electricity powered alternatives which deliver both decarbonisation and real operational benefits.
This includes:
- Working with government agencies for co-funding of projects
- Energy efficiency programs
- Fuel switching to electricity with innovative retrofits
- Design and installation of complete system replacements
Asset Performance Management
Peter Drucker is often quoted as saying “You can't manage what you can't measure.”
We collect real-time data on energy usage, temperature, humidity, and other relevant parameters to provide accurate and up-to-date insights into the functioning of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Alerts or notifications are delivered when system performance exceeds or falls below the predefined thresholds. This early warning system allows prompt corrective action to be taken.
Additionally, our systems offer data logging and reporting functionalities, that enable you to access historical data and generate reports for compliance and audits, quality control analysis and performance evaluation.
We provide valuable analytics and insights into energy consumption, equipment efficiency and any maintenance requirements to reduce unnecessary costs and boost operational efficiency.
Asset Performance Management Key Elements
- Visibility for better asset management
- Insights with automated site by site performance reporting
- Benchmark against selected statistics
- Continuous and reliable reporting for audit and governance purposes
- Customisable reports to business requirements
- Alerts which include site, equipment and safety information
- Actionable energy management including remote resolution
- Fault detection and diagnostics
- Enables a technician to arrive with the correct parts for the job
- Saves time, travel and expense
Implementation of our Asset Performance Management system can be completed quickly, it is cost effective and the return on investment is measurable.
In a recent review with Daikin who are an important vendor partner, their team confirmed a range of their sustainability goals and initiatives. They’re reducing net greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire lifecycle by 30% or more in fiscal 2025 versus BAU 2019 as the base year and aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
They’re accelerating the practical use of air conditioners that use refrigerants with as little impact as possible on global warming, including energy efficiency, safety factors such as flammability and toxicity, cost and availability of the refrigerant and expense of producing assets that use the refrigerant.
Operationally, they’re looking right through their business processes with initiatives around:
- Weight reduction of products
- Recycled materials and parts
- Better packaging
- Enhanced manufacturing processes
- Energy and resource conservation in use
- Product life extension
- Ease of deliver and installation
- Possible reuse and/or recycling
