Energy Saving Program – Lighting
Lighting usually account for up to 45% of energy costs in commercial buildings and up to 10% of industrial energy use. There are many low-cost and no-cost measures that can be implemented to reduce these costs without adversely affecting working conditions.
Lighting energy savings of 75–90% can be achieved using day-lighting and task lighting strategies and using the most efficient LED lighting fixtures. It is also a very visible way to demonstrate to staff that energy efficiency is a business priority and to encourage them to take an active role in reducing energy costs.
Urza Catalysts help your organization realize this potential saving within a span of two months. Your electricity bills accounting for lighting load are surely going to cut by minimum 50% for sure and for ever. Please feel free to contact us.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) Programs
HVAC electricty consumption typically accounts for around 40% of total building consumption and 70% of base building. It contributes directly to manufacturing costs and facility energy cost. HVAC dominates peak building electricity demand, so improving its efficiency can reduce peak demand electricity charges. Capital and maintenance costs of HVAC equipment also comprise a significant proportion of building costs. In addition, high performing buildings are now getting better returns as tenants and purchases are demanding to occupy sustainable buildings.
While significant energy and capital savings can be made through investing in energy efficient HVAC systems when constructing new buildings, good strategies & solutions exist to optimize energy use in existing HVAC systems. These strategies include reducing demand for HVAC services and ensuring good maintenance practices.
Urza Catalyst help your organizations assess the optimum and minimum usage patterns of your total HVAC loads and implement customized solutions and products to save on the total energy cost on continual basis. Please contact our catalysts for further information.

Compressed Air
Approximately 15% of the electricity supplied to Indian industry is used to compress air. Many industrial businesses use compressed air to operate equipment such as hand tools, pumps, valve actuators, pistons and large-scale processes.
There is significant potential to save energy and improve the bottom line in this area. It can be achieved by reducing the need for compressed air services, optimizing equipment and upgrading old systems. Typically, 20–50% energy savings are possible.
A good air compressor energy efficiency strategy relies on an integrated approach that incorporates the following opportunities:
1) Reduce demand for compressed air services as compressed air is often used as an energy source because it is clean, readily available and simple to use, hence it is wasted due to negligence and no maintenance scenario.
2) Optimize the use of existing air compressor systems as the energy efficiency of existing compressed air systems can be improved through maintaining the minimum pressure for the required tasks.
3) Upgrade air compressor systems as there are several measures that can be implemented to help ensure air compressor upgrades lead to energy savings.

Motors & Motoring System Programs
Optimizing motor systems has the potential to save more electricity than in any other electricity end-use. Investing in motor efficiency also makes sense given the total cost of supplying electricity to a motor can overtake the motor purchase price in just two weeks.
1) Effective management of electric motors will also improve their reliability, minimize the risk of lost production time and minimize life-cycle costs.
2) While increasing the energy efficiency of the ‘core motor system’ has an important role to play, considering additional opportunities in the ‘total motor system’ will enable larger energy efficiency improvements to be achieved.
a) Reduce demand for motive power.
b) Optimize existing motor systems, by switching motors off when not in use, ensuring good maintenance, and matching the motor, controls and drive-train to the load.
c) Upgrade or replace motor systems as there are opportunities for energy saving whenever upgrades are planned. Taking a whole of system approach to upgrading motor systems from traditional to energy efficient motors.

Programs of Pumps & Fans
Pumps and fans are used widely throughout industry. Together, they account for around 40% of the end uses of motive power in Indian industry.
Potential energy savings in pump and fan systems can be as much as 50% and in some cases even higher. Most energy efficiency opportunities for pumps and fans fall into the following categories:
1) Reduce demand for pumps and fans as large savings can be achieved by reducing the demand for the service provided by the pump or fan by optimizing the usage patterns.
2) Optimize existing pump and fan systems as there are many opportunities to reduce the energy consumption of existing fan and pump systems without requiring a significant investment.
3) Install optimum new pump and fan systems by investing in new efficient pump and fan systems that provides the opportunity to achieve large energy savings and to minimize total energy cost.

Heating & Steam Programs
Process heating and steam production are significant sources of energy use for Indian industrial companies and some commercial sectors. On a typical industrial site, boilers can account for 20–60% of energy costs and represent up to 35% of all potential energy efficiency improvements. Process heating and steam systems require large amounts of energy and can easily decline in energy efficiency because system losses are often difficult to measure or observe.
Energy use in process heating systems can be reduced by lowering demand for heating services, improving the efficiency of heat production, heat containment and improved heat transfer, and by recovering heat for reuse. Improved maintenance and management, such as using sensors and controls, can also help optimize performance. These measures reduce energy costs while increasing resilience to energy supply failure and providing improved workplace comfort.
