SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE INDUSTRY

nergy prices are growing year by year in Ukraine with a pace that would overtake the world prices quickly. The world energy prices are also constantly increasing. Therefore Ukraine is incurring double increase of energy prices: on one hand to catch up with world energy prices and on another hand to keep following them.

The energy efficiency approach for construction of industrial facilities was not in the culture during that period and today many plants are big consumers of energy as compared to their equivalents in Europe.

The BETEN Company is present in Ukraine since many years and knows perfectly potential savings achievable at different facilities in Ukraine and we can propose you our services in the following sectors:

1) Preliminary general audit focused on the following parameters:

• Quality of building and of its insulation;
• Heat production;
• Efficiency of heat production installations, ventilation, air-conditioning and cooling systems;
• Heat recuperation installations, water and electricity saving systems etc.

2) Analysis of energy production systems:

• Improvement or replacement of existing equipment,
• Analysis of feasibility of use of renewable energies: biomass/biogas, wind, solar, geothermal.

3) Energy performance diagnostic (EPD):

• Site visit and data gathering (bills, measurements);
• Analysis of data by EPD method or other;
• Proposals on energy saving, money saving, CO2 reduction, waste management solutions etc.
• Calculation of investments, financial gains and investment payback;
• Monitoring of performance after implementation of improvements.

4) Low energy consumption building concept with passive or positive energy (0 to 120 kwh/m2/year):

• Project and site analysis;
• Evaluation of the program, general plan and site constraints;
• Definition of energy objectives (consumption in winter and comfort in summer)
• Elaboration of energy terms of reference and choice of the consumption level;
• Dynamic thermal modeling of constructions;
• Study of technical solutions for heating, air-conditioning, electricity;
• Elaboration of terms of reference for consultation of sub-contractors;
• Selection of suppliers (quality, price, delay);
• Supervising of implementation and control of compliance and performances;
• Monitoring during the warranty period and verification measurements campaign.

Thus the BETEN Company due to its fresh look on your industrial facility shall propose you simple and low cost solutions to achieve immediate result of energy saving measures implemented or more complex solutions up to complete reconstruction of energy distribution system at the scale of your site in the framework of a more long-term vision but requiring more important investment inputs.
