New energy auditing cuts down measurement time

Energy-efficiency and environmental sustainability has become a huge factor when making business decisions. Although there are products that claim to be efficient, one needs to assess whether the savings outweigh the capital cost of acquiring these items.

Analysing your consumption
Green solutions need to be economically viable and technologies available are often still in their infancy. The conflicting information involved in making “green” decisions can often lead to ineffective economic choices.

“Energy audits provide a detailed analysis of energy consumption, which gives users a proactive approach in saving energy,” says Green Tech Sales and Distribution Manager, Shalin Govender.

The new energy auditing tool amalgamates the electricity measurement
and analysis of usage into one device.

Green technology provides a unique “green” tool for carrying out energy audits. “A good example can be seen in efficient lighting technology. Green products such as CFL bulbs or LED lights have great energy saving benefits in comparison to ordinary light bulbs. However, the key to taking advantage of themis to weigh up the total cost of implementing them versus the total savings they eventually provide,” continues Govender.

“Such a comparison can only be drawn up through an energy audit using sophisticated measuring tools. When analysing the measurements or data, a true cost and saving model can be projected and a fully informed investment decision can be made.”

Green technology has identified the importance of energy auditing and the auditing time required for a complete report. The unique measurement tool the company uses amalgamates the measurement and analysis of energy usage into one device, thereby cutting down time through clever multitasking.

“This not only provides an effective and efficient tool, but also creates more saving of time and money, giving users a better and greener solution than before,” concludes Govender.
