China case study Confidential technology company
Production facility in Suzhou
2,500m² production area
24 hour operation
Injection machines
High-speed stamping.
• Poor HVAC design for production
area with insufficient cooling
capacity and distribution
• High energy consuming metal
halide lighting
• No use of free heating energy
from production waste heat for
heating offices in winter
• No energy monitoring system
• No effective maintenance
programme.
Problems
• New chillers and free cooling
• Re-design of HVAC System in
production & office areas
• Implementation of power meter
monitoring system (PMMS) to
improve equipment reliability and
energy consumption efficiency
• New lighting
• China and UK skills and products
used.
