Every little bit helps. By saving just 1Kwh we will remove 0.96kg CO2 from the atmosphere*. This does not sound like a lot in the fight to reduce carbon footprints, but if you think of how we got here it was just the same process of an ever-increasing demand and consumption.Now we have to start [Read more…]

Saving energy is a conscious decision that every educated person has already made in order to save the planet from further impact from global warming. Companies should also make a considerable effort to look at saving energy any way that they can and reap the rewards of Government offered rewards and benefits from all initiatives/programmes [Read more…]

In an already difficult economic climate it is even more difficult when basic operating costs such as electricity are running with above inflationary increases. In every business today – large or small – from retail, agriculture, manufacturing, service providers, etc. electricity is critical. One way to try and keep your electricity overhead in check is [Read more…]

T5 fluorescent is the first linear lamp type to be served only by electronic ballasts. It is smaller than T8 and T12 lamps, with a miniature bi-pin base. It is notable for its lumens-per-watt efficiency, due to its peak light output occurring at 35°C (95°F) air temperature. T5 lamps operate at frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz. Benefits [Read more…]

An inverter in an air conditioner is used to control the speed of the compressor motor to allow continuously regulated temperature. Inverter-equipped air conditioners have a variable-frequency drive that incorporates an adjustable electrical inverter to control the speed of the motor and thus the compressor and cooling output. A comparison of temperature regulation between a traditional air conditioner and an inverter air conditioner The variable-frequency drive uses [Read more…]

An electrodeless lamp or induction light is a light source in which the power required to generate light is transferred from outside the lamp envelope to inside via electromagnetic fields. Benefits of Induction Lighting: 100,000 hour life span (22 Years @ 12 hours a day) 5-year warranty on lamps No electrodes & no filaments Improved Security Improved Lighting quality Improved [Read more…]

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Benefits of LED Lighting: LED life span: Rated 35 000 – 50 000hrs Guarantee: 2 – 3 years Energy Saving: Save 60% – 90% consumption of conventional lamps Instant On/Off: No waiting between re-strike High Lighting [Read more…]

A heat pump uses a small amount of energy to move heat from one medium to another, using mechanical work to move heat from a low temperature source to a high temperature sink. Heat pumps use the reverse cycle of a refrigeration plant to heat water. Latent heat is given off when the refrigerant gas [Read more…]

Advantages of Evaporative Cooling Healthy There is no recycling of air, 100% fresh air supplied all the time. Air is moistened instead of being dried out. Affordable Installation costs can be as much as a quarter of the cost of refrigerative systems and as little as a tenth of the running cost. Low Maintenance A [Read more…]
