Savings Quick Summary
Where the Money Goes: Common Sources of Waste
Inactive Periods
Paying for high capacity in winter for a pool that is only used in summer.
Reactive Energy
Fines for 'dirty' power from old lifts or large motors that could be fixed with a capacitor bank.
Lighting Inefficiency
Corridors and garages lit 24/7 with non-LED bulbs or without motion sensors.
Contracted Power Optimization
Optimization Potential
Reducing 10kW of unused potencia can save over €1,200 per year in standing charges.
Pool & Pump Optimization
Pumps are heavy users. Shifting their schedule to match off-peak 3.0TD periods (like P6) can drastically reduce the cost per kWh.
Lift & Lighting Upgrades
Lifts and communal lighting represent a constant 'baseline' demand. While individually small, over 365 days, they add up.
Smart Scheduling & Timers
Energy is cheapest when most people are asleep. Scheduling heavy communal loads during these 'valleys' is the easiest way to save.
